Many processes in the construction industry center around strong decision-making. Think about how many critical choices superintendents, project managers, and other professionals make on a daily basis.

In the construction industry, decision-making is often made up of two things: experience and data. The more you have of both, the better your decisions will be.

As such, you may ask yourself: “What data can I use to make the most informed decisions?”It’s good practice to step back at least once a year and identify which areas you want your business to focus on. Is it profitability? Do you want to grow top-line revenue? Maybe you specifically want to improve your labor productivity.

Then, through an annual “business visibility audit,” make sure the processes and data are in place to measure your progress toward reaching those goals.
