Abstract: The construction project manager frequently encounters difficulties tracking the performance or migration of contractor workers on the construction site. Additionally, typical performance data collection methods are complex, costly, and time-consuming. Due to information loops, the construction industry’s ability to obtain data on time is hampered. As a result, the tracking strategy attracts researchers supporting the construction industry for a long time. The primary tracking system inventory will be introduced in this study as a powerful tool for decision-makers. The tracking systems demonstrate their value, particularly in the aftermath of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. It appears as though the only option to track worker performance from site to office quickly is through automated tracking. Eventually, the new technology can help project stakeholders to measure the activity progress quickly and efficiently.
