How are you monitoring your projects? Surely delegating it´s out of the question, because you need to corroborate by yourself the progress and execution of each stage of the constructions, to verify that everything is going well and within the stipulated time. However, have you ever wondered how you could optimize this monitoring, so that you can attend to your other responsibilities?
Well, since in every construction project there is a high and constant activity of multiple tasks that are performed at the same time, such as the operation of heavy machinery and manual work; currently there are several technological resources at the service of the industry, to simplify and streamline the monitoring of the works, which you will know below.
First, we want you to think carefully about all the implications of monitoring projects in the traditional way; that is, using methods that require your attention for an extended period of time, such as on-site visits and tours. With this in mind, what if you upgrade and decide to be at the forefront by implementing technological tools to monitor remotely?
Here’s why you should do it this way starting today.
5 advantages of inspecting your projects remotely
- Increased productivity
Remote construction monitoring helps improve productivity by allowing project managers to track progress in real time. This allows them to make informed decisions quickly and adjust schedules or resources as needed to keep the project on track.
- Improved quality control
By monitoring progress and inspecting work remotely, project managers and supervisors can identify any defects or issues that need to be addressed before they become serious problems.
- Increased safety
Safety is a top priority on any construction site. With remote monitoring technology, construction teams can identify potential hazards and take the necessary precautions to avoid accidents.
- Increases profitability
Remote site supervision can be a cost-effective solution for construction projects. It can eliminate the need for on-site supervisors and reduce travel costs for project managers, who can monitor the project remotely from anywhere in the world.
- Improve communication
With remote construction monitoring, project teams can communicate and collaborate more effectively. Real-time data and images can be shared instantly, allowing team members to make decisions in the shortest possible time and work together more efficiently.
These 5 advantages are not the only ones you will have by monitoring your project remotely, do you have any idea of the time you will save in reviewing in detail each place and stage of the work? It will make a big difference! You will be able to concentrate your efforts on planning, directing and preparing the new launches you have scheduled, and take care of any problems or inconveniences that may arise on a day-to-day basis.
Now, to make each of your construction sites more profitable and competitive, the most appropriate technological tools for monitoring construction projects, which are in full swing, are professional cameras and time-lapse cameras, drones and 3D laser scanning.
The cameras will allow you to monitor every corner of the project, in real time, with highly interactive images and videos, which are uploaded to the cloud and saved according to the documented time. In this way, you can keep track of the chronological control and consult it from wherever you are. In addition, there are cameras that have a time-lapse video player, in which the progress is very well evidenced in a matter of minutes.
With drones, on the other hand, you will have the facility to capture aerial shots and make virtual tours of the entire project. They can also take detailed images of those places that are difficult for the work team to access.
Finally, we have 3D laser scanning, an increasingly popular tool in the construction industry that allows the geometry of objects, structures and terrain to be captured quickly and accurately. Thus, as the laser scans the area, 3D point clouds are created that represent in great detail the geometry of the site with the best precision.
As you can see, there are very good resources to optimize all your AEC projects, so don’t lag behind and implement them! We are sure they will change your life and relieve your responsibilities. If you do not know how to access these technologies, do not complicate; in Volartech we have them at your disposal. Get to know us here.
