Data Analytics Slash Risk, Boost Certainty in Healthcare Construction
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With healthcare systems under increasing pressure to optimize capital planning and project execution, data-driven decision-making is transforming how projects achieve cost certainty and success. DPR Construction, one of the nation's leading technical builders, highlights this shift in its latest Healthcare Insights report, showcasing how advanced data analytics improve resource allocation, reduce risks, and deliver better project outcomes for healthcare organizations.
"When capital project decisions are guided by data, it creates transparency and builds stakeholder confidence," said Laura Jones, a DPR healthcare strategist. "This approach not only streamlines resource allocation but also ensures more predictable and efficient outcomes, ultimately benefitting patients."
DPR believes an analytics-driven approach paired with construction technology delivers tangible benefits:
Optimizing facilities to deliver ROI today and in the future. Data analytics align capital projects with strategic goals, such as forecasting patient volume shifts from inpatient to outpatient care. Predictive modeling establishes clear metrics that minimize costly redesigns, especially in the planning phase.
Reducing resource allocation inefficiencies while increasing schedule accuracy. DPR's smart block and stacking programs have cut procurement timelines on some projects by up to 30%. Additionally, using historical data to identify risks and integrate contingencies before construction begins provides a sense of security, ensuring that potential issues are addressed before they become problems.
Addressing risks proactively to save budget. Real-time monitoring and predictive analytics track construction progress and result in savings. On a recent project, DPR's team avoided more than $2 million in potential change orders using federated building information models to identify and resolve coordination issues.
Taking control of current market challenges via BIM and Target Value Design. Properly applied, these tools can mitigate labor shortages and supply chain disruptions while achieving higher cost and schedule certainty. Recent projects using DPR's analytics-driven methods have demonstrated up to 15% improved schedule reliability and significantly reduced cost variances.
"The ability to harness data throughout the construction process is transforming healthcare projects," added Jones. "Combining historical trends with predictive analytics empowers our healthcare partners to make smarter decisions, optimize capital planning, and improve resource utilization. In one case, we helped a major health system achieve 20% better resource use across their portfolio."
DPR's Healthcare Insights series examines the critical issues facing healthcare providers at the intersection of care and construction. Additionally, DPR's Constructing With Care podcast takes a deeper dive into these topics along with views from other industry leaders.

Meyers Manx and Tuthill Debut the LFG at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering
A new era in luxury off-road adventure, launching with six years of curated global driving experiences MONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At the prestigious The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week, Meyers Manx, the legendary creator of the original fiberglass dune buggy, and world-renowned rally specialists Tuthill unveiled the LFG, a limited-production off-road performance machine set to redefine the spirit of recreational driving. Only 100 examples of the LFG will be built, each offering owners exclusive access to six years of meticulously planned driving adventures across the globe. The journey begins in 2027 with the inaugural LFG Baja Tour, marking the 50th anniversary of Meyers Manx's historic victory in the first Mexican 1000 (now the Baja 1000). Designed for those who crave both comfort and capability, the LFG merges cutting-edge engineering with a playful, adventurous spirit. Underneath its carbon fiber body and ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) lies a choice of high-performance engines — including a 4-valve variant derived from Tuthill's celebrated "K" — paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox and 4WD featuring front, center, and rear limited-slip differentials. Twin five-way adjustable dampers with hydraulic bump stops, and BF Goodrich All-Terrain tyres ensure the LFG is equally at home crossing desert dunes or carving through rugged mountain trails. Inside, a bespoke, climate-controlled cabin offers comfort on long hauls, while an Inconel exhaust, integrated GPS, and long-range fuel tank prepare the vehicle for journeys well beyond the beaten path. In moments, the enclosed cockpit can transform into an open-air buggy, letting drivers and passengers fully embrace the elements. "This project started as a dream between my long-time pal Richard and me, both in constant pursuit of the ultimate expression of freedom and performance," said Phillip Sarofim, Founder and CEO of Trousdale Ventures and Chairman of the Board at Meyers Manx. "We imagined the perfect Meyers Manx, brought Freeman Thomas on board to infuse his design brilliance, and merged it with Tuthill's engineering mastery. The result is raw, visceral, novel, and totally uncompromising. We call it LFG for a reason." "It's fairly well known that I love experiences, I love the effect it has on those that join us wherever we go," said Richard Tuthill, Director at Tuthill. "This, however, is slightly different. We are not necessarily bringing the stopwatch with us on these trips. I want to take people to see the most amazing parts of the world. I have been super lucky to see some life-changing scenery whilst Rallying, the memories I have as a result are immeasurable. These things change you. I think for the better. We crave experiences that we can look back on for the rest of our lives. We now have an amazing car to help us to create these in a unique way. The car looks fun, mischievous, it has a character that I have genuinely never seen or felt. BUT underneath it's PROPER – could we go to the moon and back in it? Probably yes, it has the capability to go wherever we point it, and we can do it safely and comfortably. In 2 minutes, it transforms from a fully air-conditioned enclosed cabin to a doorless buggy where the wind provides the air that helps us smile. It's very special. I can't wait to get started, please join in – LFG." More details, images, and specifications are available online.
