Construction Projects Progress Monitoring and Tracking using a Mobile Application

Abstract

The passage delves into the shortcomings of outdated monitoring systems in project management, emphasizing their inefficiencies in keeping up with technological advancements. It highlights how reliance on manual, paper-based data collection hampers real-time progress tracking, leading to errors and delays in project completion. While innovative technologies like LiDAR offer precise mapping, their prohibitive costs and complexity limit their adoption, especially for projects with tight budgets. This creates a gap in accessibility, exacerbating challenges during unforeseen events and diverting focus from resolving issues to merely containing them. However, the narrative presents a hopeful alternative in modern mobile applications tailored for project management. These apps offer a more practical, cost-effective solution by simplifying operations and enhancing collaboration among project members. By enabling real-time data capture and automated financial tracking, they address critical needs for efficient budget management and streamlined communication. Usability tests demonstrate their potential in improving efficiency and streamlining processes, paving the way for a future where project management is more responsive and adaptable to the dynamic challenges of the modern world.
