The construction industry is generating data and information at an exponential rate. Due to the rapid increase of available construction data, information governance and analytics have become two of the most pressing industry processes. This paper provides an introduction to information governance, outlining the potential benefits for stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. In addition, this paper presents a maturity model that defines a four-level information governance framework to describe the level of information governance at each phase of the construction lifecycle. Finally, this paper describes how construction projects can leverage information governance and advanced analytics to make informed project decisions, locate information quickly, mitigate risk, and prepare for potential claims and litigation.
