Construction-related spending accounts for 13% of the world’s GDP, yet the industry is stuck. Where nearly every other industry is progressing, productivity in construction has advanced only 1% over the past 20 years. Bechtel—a 120-year old, privately held company focused on global engineering, construction, and project management—builds some of the most massive and highly complex projects humanity has ever attempted.

As with other industries, deep learning and AI offers the greatest potential for disruption in the construction industry. As a result, the applied knowledge of data scientists is now the limited resource. Organizations must recognize and adapt to the reality that their future success may depend on the success of their data scientists and that reducing or eliminating constraints, limitations, and roadblocks data scientists face every day in their tooling is one important way to accelerate innovation. Bechtel’s Big Data & Analytics Center of Excellence leverages the Databricks Unified Analytics Platform to realize dramatic efficiency gains that enables their data scientists to achieve results faster.
