Using KPIs to stay on track
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are critical metrics used by companies across various industries to gauge their performance and success. In the construction industry, where projects are complex and multifaceted, the use of KPIs can be particularly beneficial. These metrics provide valuable insights that can lead to improved decision-making, enhanced productivity, and increased profitability.
