What is Construction Progression?

Construction progression monitoring (CPM) is the recurrent collection of information(images) throughout a project’s lifecycle to ensure construction is progressing as planned. 

It helps detect when a project has fallen behind but also prevents delays before they happen. Project managers who collect progress reports consistently are alerted to issues as they arise and can implement solutions early before the issue slows down the construction.

CPM may include: 

 *Observation of the construction work and its level of completion. 

*Observation of any potential work hindrances or stoppage.

*Assessment of conformance to the construction schedule.

*Assessment of supply of stored materials for adequate quantities.

*Identification of construction changes and potential or pending changes.

Manage projects easier from the office.

Progress can be assessed on a daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis depending on how often updates are desired and the pace of the construction.  With each assessment, the observations are complied into a progress report.  These reports are valuable tools for project documentation, decision-making, and communication with stakeholders.
