The Science That’s Disrupting Construction Progress Tracking in 2025

Despite all the advances in project management software, construction consultants and contractors still face the same issues:

  • Delayed or missing daily updates from site teams
  • Low visibility across projects
  • Random records that make delay claims a nightmare
  • manual processes that delay decision making.

Traditional tools like MS Project or Primavera only track start/finish dates and percent complete. But real project risk happens between those milestones, in the daily site activities, delays, rework, and sudden changes.

The Breakthrough Consultants & Contractors Can’t Afford to Miss

Professor Tarek Hegazy, one of North America’s most cited civil engineers, has led groundbreaking work in automated progress tracking. Two of his research papers introduced automated progress tracking and the Critical Path Segments (CPS) method to capture real-time site activity and mid-activity delays.

What’s inside:

  • The real reason most tracking systems fail (and how automation solves it)
  • How leading consultants use Critical Path Segments to analyze delays
  • The new way to collect site updates.
  • Why research-backed tracking is a must for claims, payment, and client trust
