Translate data into actionable insights with Data Analysis Services


Through the AASHTOWare Project Unified Database and a variety of other systems and sources, agencies are able to collect vast swaths of data around their bidding and construction activities. 

The problem is, what to do with all of that data? Agency teams are often so busy tackling their ongoing responsibilities, they don’t have time for a cogent analysis of their construction project data. That’s where our Data Analysis Services come into play. We can harness your data to drive business insights, automation, process improvement, and innovation.

From cost indices to market analysis, our analysis answers essential questions that help agencies gain process efficiencies, provide value, and mitigate risk.

First things first - why analyze your data?

Data analysis helps agency teams answer the questions that are always on their mind, but that they never have the time or resources to answer.

Questions like: 

  • How can we be sure contractors are giving us the best value?
  • Are our costs reasonable compared to the industry average?
  • What are change orders telling us about our contracts?
  • How are our activities (bidding, costs, change orders, etc.) trending over time?
  • Are there any indicators of collusive activity?
  • Are we being consistent with our cost estimates?


In answering these questions, we enable agencies to take action while also setting a baseline for improved data management, analysis, and reporting.
