One of the monitoring work in a construction project is preparing a pictorial progress
report to obtain a clearer and up-to-date information for a construction site. Usually, the
pictures taken at the side view and inside the building cannot depict the entire
construction site area due to constraints and visual limitations. This study utilized UAV
technology to assist the control and monitoring of weekly construction work progress at
the construction site through the visual image recording of the entire construction site. The
study was conducted by recording images using the UAV Photogrammetry technique
weekly for a month for the entire construction project site. Images recorded each week are
then processed using pix4DMapper software to produce orthophoto images to illustrate
the entire study area. All orthophoto images were then analyzed to determine weekly work
progress and the most active and inactive areas from the first week to the week. The study
found that UAV technology can help in monitoring construction work visually and can plan
construction activities in a more organized manner.
