In many countries, like ours, supervision is essential to avoid execution delays or budget increases, as well as deadline extensions that increase the costs of public investment projects and cause social and economic harm. It is necessary to develop this comprehensive system, based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/drones), computer vision, and predictive analytics. It offers a robust set of benefits that transform construction project management:

Optimization of Physical Progress and Deadlines:

  • Early Detection of Gap: Multi-temporal analysis compares actual progress with schedules and plans, allowing deviations and potential delays to be proactively identified.
  • Progress Prediction: Predictive models, which consider factors such as weather and resources, anticipate potential delays, facilitating corrective decisions before problems escalate.

Substantial Improvement in Construction Quality:

  • Automatic Defect Identification: Computer vision algorithms accurately detect cracks, poorly executed curbs, or missing elements, ensuring higher quality in the finished product.
  • Reduction in Rework: By identifying problems early, the need for costly and time-consuming corrections is minimized.

Significantly Increased Safety on Site:

  • Continuous PPE Monitoring: Automatic detection of the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) ensures consistent compliance with safety standards, reducing the risk of accidents.
  • Promotion of Good Practices: Constant monitoring fosters a culture of safety and adherence to protocols.

Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction:

  • Fast and Safe Data Collection: Drones automate image capture over large areas and in hard-to-reach areas, reducing the need for manual inspections and the risk to personnel.
  • Data-Driven Decisions: The centralization and visualization of KPIs, alerts, and real-time reports enable more informed and agile decision-making.
  • Resource Optimization: By anticipating progress and potential problems, the availability of materials and labor can be better managed.

Greater Project Visibility and Control:

  • Interactive Visualization: Dashboards provide a clear, real-time view of the project status, facilitating monitoring by the entire technical team and stakeholders.
  • Automated Reports: Generating reports without manual intervention saves time and ensures information consistency.

In short, this system transforms construction supervision from a reactive process to a proactive and data-driven one, resulting in more efficient, safer, higher-quality, and ultimately more profitable projects.
