Abstract: The worker’s time theft is lurking in the depths of the construction industry as an enemy. Adding more supervisors to construction sites may appear to be the obvious solution. They are left out of the more pressing matters because of non-essential and time-consuming tasks like ensuring every worker is where their timecard indicates they should be. Tracking solutions streamline back-office processes and can provide real-time site monitoring. The tracking technology of indoor construction activities can bring immediate awareness and corrective action for the project. Accordingly, this study selected hybrid Bluetooth low energy (BLE) with Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology as a tracking engine. Also, the study aims to add a layer to the 3D BIM model by visualizing the worker’s productivity. The process begins with an indoor tracking system powered by (BIM) technology, BLE, and ends with a friendly Client Early Warning System (CEWS) dashboard. The CEWS can show the percentage of completion of activity in the BIM model. Furthermore, the construction industry has been negatively impacted in various ways because of the COVID19 pandemic. The workers have had to adjust to social distancing requirements, adhere to the most recent sanitation and personal protective equipment policies, and adapt to technology to perform tasks remotely, if at all possible. In the event of a pandemic, the findings of this study will assist organizations in establishing safe working environments in which to complete their projects through an alert system in a friendly dashboard.
