Construction progress tracking from the area on the drawing, not a guess

How is progress entered?

Progress is entered from the "work and progress" group of the room data sheet. Each room has work items such as floor tiling, wall paint or skirting; tap one and choose one of three ways.

Each mark can carry a note and up to six photos at once. Marks are listed with date, time and person; deleting one recalculates progress.

On site, step by step

Sample project "Ataşehir Blok B", sheet A-101, bathroom Z-03, with five default work items.

1. Open A-101 and tap Z-03; the data sheet opens.
2. Tap "wall tiling": quantity 33.68 m², no marks yet.
3. Draw the finished half of the room on the plan and save.
4. The panel shows 50 % and 16.84 m² of 33.68 m²; add two photos.
5. Mark waterproofing and floor tiling as whole room done.
6. With the progress layer on, finished areas show translucent on the sheet.

How is the percentage calculated?

Every work item has a measurement basis, and its quantity comes from the room data sheet rather than being typed.

• Several drawn areas are merged, then clipped to the room boundary, so overlaps are not counted twice and spill-over is ignored.
• The item's percentage is the merged area over the room area; wall and perimeter items use the same plan-area share.
• If both a drawn area and a percentage exist, the larger wins; whole room done means 100 %.

How do rooms and tasks roll up?

A room's progress is the weighted mean of its items. The weight is quantity, or quantity × unit price when every item has a price; priced and unpriced items are never mixed. In Z-03 without prices: waterproofing 11.47 m² at 100 %, floor tiles 11.47 m² at 100 %, wall tiles 33.68 m² at 50 %, ceiling and ceiling paint 11.47 m² each at 0 %: 39.78 of 79.56 m², so 50 %. With illustrative unit prices (450, 1,200, 1,100, 900 and 250 ₺ per m²) the cost-weighted result is about 54.1 %.

A work item can be linked to a schedule task; the task's progress is the same weighted mean over its linked items and is written to the task automatically.

How does it reach the schedule and overview?

• The task shows that it is calculated from site. A manual value entered with the slider takes over until someone switches back.
• Tasks without work items are not affected.
• Overall progress on the project overview is the duration-weighted mean of the lowest-level tasks.

See schedule and Gantt.

How are work items defined?

Default items are suggested from the room type and finishes. Your own items have a name, trade, basis, unit (m², m, linear m, pcs, m³, kg, set, lump sum), a derived or entered quantity, an optional unit price visible only to people with budget access, and an optional linked task. The quantity take-off guide explains how room quantities relate to measurement.

Who enters progress?

Site managers and field engineers enter and delete progress marks. Project managers see progress and can override task progress in the schedule. Architects, subcontractors and viewers see it. Subcontractors report finished work through pins with photos; the site team enters the percentage, which keeps the person doing the work separate from the person recording it.

What does it not do?

• It does not write to progress payments; payment quantities follow the contract's measurement rules. See progress payments and budget.
• Areas cannot be drawn on scanned PDFs or in rooms without a traced boundary; enter a percentage instead.
• For wall and perimeter items the plan-area share is a practical approximation, not a measured wall surface.
• It does not read progress from photos; a person always marks it.
