Scalability Is a Crucial Element in Construction Project Management
Because construction projects span all sizes – from a single structure to massive mega-projects – the concept of one-size-fits-all project management falls flat.
Unlike buying a sweater, where settling for a "good enough fit" might suffice, executing important construction projects requires a project management information system (PMIS) that can scale. Scalability – defined as the ability to adapt to increased demands in size or type – is crucial for businesses that construct a variety of projects.
The Need for Scalability
Asset owners and contractors deal with projects that have diverse requirements.
A survey conducted by Dodge Data Analytics revealed that 70% of construction industry owners in federal and state government, healthcare, education and commercial sectors needed additional software products when their businesses changed due to disruptions. Additionally, 74% required extra custom work from their PMIS provider, highlighting the need for scalability in the construction industry.
