Abstract

The common criteria to assess a construction project’s success is to see whether it is completed on time, within budget and according to the project specifications. As construction project contains many uncertainties in the beginning and this goes on throughout the project usually projects completed after or earlier than the contractual finish date. Delay in construction is a common problem that faced with in various countries. The information provided by the site is helping the management team in; measuring progress, health and safety, status of equipment&material. It is vital to get  the information as accurately as possible and receiving the information on time is vitally important for management team. This enables the team members to detect the progress and defects at the site.  It is proved that due to rework of defective components of construction project detected late, up to 12.45 % of construction cost is wasted. Reporting construction project progress is highly important for project management and stakeholder management as well. While it has influence on the communication flow, also helpful in accelerating the decision-making process. Project management team and consequently project manager should ensure that the upper management clearly see the project progress. Without having clear understanding of the project upper management would struggle to take immediate actions.
