The Value of Data

Episode notes

In our first episode of Hard Hats and Data Chats , Fraser Gallop and Steve Gross introduce the series and dive into one of construction’s biggest challenges: turning everyday operational data into timely, actionable insights. They discuss how ERPs capture essential information, why accessing it is often harder than collecting it, and how spreadsheet‑based workflows create delays, version issues, and reporting headaches. They also share real client stories - from month‑end WIP struggles to the impact of moving from nightly to twice‑daily data refreshes - showing how better data flow can transform project oversight and decision‑making. Join Fraser and Steve as they lay the foundation for becoming a truly data‑driven construction organization.
