Big Data is fundamentally changing the way builders, developers and professionals involved in commercial real estate go about their jobs.
With the ability to process vast amounts of information and extract valuable insights, Big Data is providing the industry with more accurate and efficient tools to understand the best performing potential markets, analyse the best types of products to build with, identify leads and new sales opportunities and to quickly estimate and quote.
Understanding Big Data
Big Data refers to extremely large and complex datasets that cannot be effectively managed or analysed using traditional data processing methods. It includes three primary characteristics, commonly referred to as the three V's: volume, velocity, and variety.
Volume: Big Data involves the processing and analysis of massive amounts of information generated from various sources. These datasets are often so vast that they exceed the capabilities of traditional data processing tools.
Velocity: The speed at which data is generated and collected in the construction industry is remarkable. Real-time data continuously stream in and Big Data technologies enable the efficient handling of this constant influx of data.
Variety: Big Data is diverse and comes from a multitude of sources. It includes text documents, images, videos, sensor readings, geospatial data, plus more. Analysing and extracting value from this wide array of data types is a fundamental aspect of Big Data analytics.
