DESCRIPTION:Progress monitoring is an important process during the constru
 ction phase of a project. Accurate assessment of progress allows managers 
 to make adjustments to minimise costs when deviations from the schedule oc
 cur. Current practices of predicting the performance of a construction tea
 m require inspections that are still mainly manual\, time consuming and ca
 n contain errors. Improper understanding of the current status can lead to
  further errors and unsuitable adjustments by the managing team\, leading 
 to more delays and increased cost. The problem is amplified when inspectio
 ns take place in interior environments where the tasks are more complex. T
 hus\, an efficient real-time progress monitoring system is needed to autom
 ate progress inspections\, reducing the risks of error\, facilitating prop
 er and timely corrective actions\, and preventing deviations in terms of c
 ost and schedule. Although many researchers have proposed promising approa
 ches for progress monitoring in outdoor scenes\, these cannot shift into t
 he complex interior environments. Research efforts for indoor environments
  are still premature and not fully automated. An automated progress monito
 ring framework will be presented\, that uses an easy to use Mobile Augment
 ed Reality System that can be used for inspections in indoor environments.
