Abstract

Monitoring and management of construction sites are critical to ensuring project success, efficiency, and safety. Traditional methods often struggle to provide real-time, accurate, and comprehensive data, leading to delays, cost overruns, and errors. This paper presents a novel methodology utilising a ground drone for auditing construction sites to detect changes and deviations from planned Building Information Modelling (BIM). The methodology focuses on developing a novel tool that facilitates Scan-vs-BIM auditing through time. Experimental results are presented, demonstrating the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed methodology for assessing structural discrepancies. This research contributes to advancing construction auditing practices by integrating state-of-the-art technologies and innovative techniques, ultimately enhancing project monitoring and management processes in the construction industry.
