The root of common construction progress tracking challenges
After working in the industry for over ten years, we’ve identified a common thread that's responsible for many of the challenges that package managers and project managers face around construction progress tracking.
In most cases, progress tracking is done reactively, or in hindsight - you spend the day on-site taking notes, then later go back to the office to record updates into your Excel tracker.
Many don’t realise, but this is the hard way.
With a lack of real-time data being fed into your tracker, decision-making is slow and issues can easily be missed, leading to unnecessary disruptions.
In fact, on a typical residential project with 500 apartment units, teams spend 1,500 hours per month on progress and task management.

We’ve found that carrying out construction progress tracking ‘in the moment’ while on-site is a more proactive approach that makes the process much easier.
Recording updates in the moment crucially provides real-time data, that's connected to your actual site.
This gives a clear view of exactly what is happening within your work package, and as a result, significantly improves many of the traditional pains around monitoring site progress.
Here’s how 'in the moment' progress tracking makes the difference:
It’s no secret that Excel trackers prevent in the moment construction progress tracking, but with Excel trackers being the norm, how can you practically apply this principle to your work package to track more seamlessly?
Well, we can take some learnings from Morgan Sindall Construction...
