Construction projects are a lot like long-distance auto racing. There’s lots of detailed planning before it starts and the risks are high – arguably even higher in auto racing due to the fatal risks for the driver. Therefore, it’s critical for teams in both situations to have complete visibility through the whole process to eliminate or minimize risks. 

Races start with a strategy and the crew chief (like a project manager) checks in with the driver throughout the race to ensure their strategy is working and to make any necessary adjustments. Minor adjustments can be made during a pit stop, while major changes need to occur as soon as possible to ensure the car performs to its fullest potential. 

This is how successful project management teams approach a construction project. They regularly monitor every phase of the project and make necessary adjustments to ensure the project remains on track and within budget. Any necessary adjustments and risks need to be prioritized appropriately. And this all comes down to effective construction progress tracking. 

However, Issues arise when project managers can’t get an accurate view of their operations and costs, and are unable to make effective decisions to mitigate cost overruns and project delays. So how can construction progress tracking be executed to avoid such issues?

In this blog, we’ll discuss why construction progress tracking matters, how to implement it, and the methods and tools that can be adopted for real-time progress tracking.
