Progress Tracking

Using Progress Tracking

Bimefy's Progress Tracking feature uses AI and computer vision to automatically analyze construction site images and compare them with your BIM models. This helps you monitor project progress, identify deviations, and track milestones in real-time.

1. Accessing Progress Tracking

1. Navigate to Progress Tracking:

• From your project dashboard, click on Progress Tracking to access the progress monitoring tools.
• You'll see an overview of your project's progress metrics and recent activity.

2. Understanding the Dashboard:

• The dashboard displays overall progress percentage, weekly progress, and monthly progress.
• View recent progress events and milestones at a glance.

2. Uploading Site Images

1. Adding Construction Photos:

• Upload photos from your construction site to compare with your BIM models.
• Supported formats include standard image files (JPG, PNG, etc.).
• You can upload individual photos or batch upload multiple images.

2. Camera Integration:

• Connect on-site cameras to automatically capture and analyze progress.
• Camera feeds can be integrated for continuous monitoring.
• Images are automatically processed by AI to detect progress and issues.

3. AI-Driven Progress Analysis

1. Automatic Progress Detection:

• Bimefy's AI analyzes uploaded images to detect construction progress automatically.
• The system compares site photos with your BIM models to identify completed work.
• Progress is calculated based on model elements and their completion status.

2. Model Comparison:

• Compare your BIM models side-by-side with actual construction photos.
• Identify discrepancies between the design and what's been built.
• Track which elements are complete, in progress, or not yet started.

3. Progress Metrics:

• View overall project completion percentage.
• Track weekly and monthly progress to understand project velocity.
• Monitor progress trends over time.

4. Milestone Tracking

1. Setting Milestones:

• Define project milestones to track key deliverables and phases.
• Milestones help break down the project into manageable segments.

2. Monitoring Milestone Progress:

• Track progress toward each milestone.
• Receive alerts when milestones are approaching or at risk.
• Visualize milestone completion on the project timeline.

3. Timeline Visualization:

• Use the project timeline to see progress over time.
• Identify periods of high activity or potential delays.
• Compare planned vs. actual progress.

5. Issue Detection and Alerts

1. Automatic Issue Detection:

• AI automatically identifies potential issues, defects, or deviations from the model.
• Safety risks and quality concerns are flagged for review.
• Issues are categorized by type and severity.

2. Alert Management:

• Receive notifications when issues are detected.
• Assign issues to team members for resolution.
• Track issue resolution status and history.

3. Reporting:

• Generate progress reports for stakeholders.
• Export progress data and visualizations.
• Share progress updates with your team and clients.

6. Best Practices for Progress Tracking

- Regular Updates:

• Upload site photos regularly to maintain accurate progress tracking.
• Consistent monitoring helps catch issues early.

- Quality Images:

• Use clear, well-lit photos for better AI analysis accuracy.
• Ensure photos are taken from consistent angles when possible.

- Model Alignment:

• Keep your BIM models up-to-date to ensure accurate comparisons.
• Update models when design changes occur.

- Team Collaboration:

• Share progress insights with your team.
• Use progress data to inform project decisions and planning.
