Building activities are inadequately monitored during construction projects when attempting to satisfy the need for information, especially in those cases of unforeseen events and conditions on‐site. Many IT‐supported methods have been introduced, but so far none has been able to deliver satisfactory and reliable information. This paper presents a combined method, consisting of three components: an automated activity tracking subsystem based on image recognition, an automated material tracking subsystem, and a mobile computing supported communication environment. All subsystems are based on the same 4D model of a building.
