#94 Barriers to Data Rich Design

Construction has not always recognised the value of using data from past projects to deliver better results in the present. It often finds itself starting from scratch on new projects, when learning from earlier experiences could help solve its productivity problem. But the so-called data rich design is still sporadic, and the industry suffers for it, sometimes leading to project delays, cost-overruns and fractured relationships. In this episode we explore some of the barriers to data rich design, and what can be done to overcome them.
