Woodhead Publishing Unlocking the Value of Business Intelligence Applications in Construction: From Digitalisation to Data-Driven Processes (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering)

Unlocking the Value of Business Intelligence Applications in Construction: From Digitalisation to Data-Driven Processes reviews and evaluates the major the challenges faced in the lifecycle delivery and management of construction projects. The role of business intelligence (BI) in overcoming these challenges is examined. The book covers the different applications of BI in the different phases of a project lifecycle. Following this, it reviews the applications of BI and how it can be integrated with other emerging technologies, such as AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and generative AI in construction. The various applications are illustrated using workflows to facilitate understanding. Applications of BI and/or BI integrated with related technologies are presented as case studies or real-life projects. For construction professionals, this book provides resources that addresses how to effectively transform the large volume and complexity of data in construction in order to improve the performance of projects Shows how to integrate data in order to optimize data processing and analysis for efficient decision-making in construction projects Discusses the applications of business intelligence and other emerging technologies in construction practice, providing greater insights into their capabilities
