STOCKHOLM, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CheckProof, the operations management platform built for construction materials and heavy industry, today published ‘Mind the Gap: A Construction Materials Industry Benchmark Report’, a survey-based study of 107 professionals working across quarrying, aggregates, asphalt, concrete, cement, and recycling.
The report examines how the industry manages maintenance, safety, and operational data on the ground, and where the process consistently breaks down.
CheckProof’s Industry report is available for download: https://www.checkproof.com/guides-and-demos/mind-the-gap-industry-report-2026/
Four gaps define the current state of the industry
- The Data Gap: 79% collect data regularly. 56% say they are not getting full value from it.
- The Execution Gap: 58% log issues, 42% say those issues then stall
- The Tool Gap: Over 6 in 10 operations still run on paper or spreadsheets
- The Priority Gap: Unplanned downtime tops the priority list, but training and knowledge retention (57%) and accountability and follow-up (52%) are cited by even more respondents overall.
Findings from the report include feedback on what the industry says it needs most:
- 31% say real-time visibility from the field
- 16% say predictive or preventative maintenance
- 13% say better issue tracking and closure
Tom O’Boyle, Chief Product Officer, CheckProof, comments:
“These are patterns I recognised from my own time in operations. The gap between identifying a problem and closing it out is where downtime happens and where safety risks compound. This report shows it’s not one site’s problem. It’s industry-wide.”
