For about 10 years, construction site monitoring has been undergoing a major change from manual to automatic measurements, i.e. construction site monitoring.

In construction site monitoring, the progress of a construction site is monitored and recorded. The main task is to ensure that all the gears mesh on the construction site, thus avoiding standstill. After all, downtime means construction delays and thus rising costs.

The tasks of construction site management include task and defect management, coordination with external partners, and compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.

Defect management includes, for example, the monitoring of drying processes, for example in interior finishing work. Here, temperature and humidity must be measured and logged. These data are important because they can be used to decide when the screed can be laid and when painting work can be done. This falls within the scope of coordination with external partners.

One of the most exciting and promising digital solutions in construction site monitoring and beyond is Building Information Modeling (BIM). There, all required process steps during the construction phase are linked and mapped in a digital chain. This means reduced costs and risks during the planning and construction phase, as potential problems are identified in advance using a digital twin and immediately solved digitally. On the actual construction site, these errors are thus avoided right away.

But digital solutions also make everyday work easier in the area of documentation. The progress of a construction site must be recorded and made visible to everyone involved. However, people on construction sites often only have their smartphone at hand, and a stable Internet connection is not always available. Applications that work both digitally and offline offer a solution here.
