Data Visualization in Construction


Definition: Data visualization is the process of representing data graphically to
enhance comprehension and decision-making.

Importance in Construction:
• Tracks project progress, cost management, and resource
allocation.Enhances communication among stakeholders (engineers,
managers, contractors, and clients).
• Identifies trends and potential issues early.

Role of Civil Engineers: Engineers rely on data visualization for planning,


monitoring, and optimizing project execution.
