As the leader or director of a construction project, monitoring the progress of the work is one of the most important and time-consuming responsibilities you have to attend to on a daily basis. We know that controlling what happens at each stage requires your full attention and availability, since compliance with the established schedule and budget depends on it.
And as you understand that this is a task you can hardly delegate, your daily efforts are not only directed to making decisions about the projects you have underway, you must also invest a large part of your time in face-to-face visits to carefully review the progress of the project.
However, nowadays, technological tools for the remote control of construction projects are becoming increasingly popular and effective, as they allow constant monitoring of all stages and resources.
Here are 3 tools that you can use to control your construction projects remotely:
- Live cameras for construction:
Live cameras are a real-time monitoring tool for construction projects that you can access from anywhere in the world. They are installed in different areas of the construction site to monitor progress and detect any potential problems or risks, that could endanger the safety of the work team or the correct execution of the building.
In that sense, they are ideal for reviewing the entire structure, even in places that are difficult to access, to verify that it is in optimal conditions, without failures or errors that could compromise its stability and durability. The best of this solution is the timelapse videos that the user can make on our platform by choosing the dates in the calendar.
- 360 virtual tour:
It is a visualization tool that will allow you to have a 360-degree view of the construction project. In other words, it generates a complete and detailed image of the work from all possible angles, to have a clear and detailed view of each phase of construction.
In this way, instead of on-site visits, you will have the alternative of monitoring the project from wherever you are located, through any electronic device. This will help you to increase your productivity and to control in a more agile and effective way everything that happens in the work you are in charge of.
If you decide to implement these tools, you will have a clear view of each phase of the construction, as well as the use of resources and the schedule that it has stipulated, so you can make informed decisions more quickly, and avoid problems that can extend to the long term.
Now, to start using them, you don’t need to spend more time learning how to configure and manage them, as they are generally very intuitive.
