Dashboard for Real-Time Monitoring of Construction Projects

The construction industry frequently encounters difficulties in managing resources, ensuring safety, and optimizing costs. This research introduces a real-time monitoring dashboard leveraging IoT devices and AI/ML tools to enhance project oversight. This system enables comprehensive tracking of manpower and equipment, facilitating data-driven decisions and improved operational efficiency. The dashboard integrates crucial functionalities such as data management, budget analysis, task management, and resource tracking. A significant feature is its automated budget estimation using a defined formula. Users can visualize real-time data, optimize project execution, and generate reports for documentation. This technology aims to increase productivity by minimizing inefficiencies, improving accountability, and ensuring adherence to safety protocols.  This paper details the system’s architecture, implementation, and the benefits observed during testing. Future enhancements, including blockchain integration and mobile accessibility, are considered to further improve security, data integrity, and user convenience. By embracing digital transformation in construction management, this study contributes to a more efficient, transparent, and automated project monitoring system.
