PROJECT SUMMARY
Stakeholders in the construction field are majorly concerned with effective minimization of
perils through close monitoring of the construction activities on the site of any construction
project in the industry for construction which involves the engineers, owners, architects’
suppliers, constructors, and many others. The extent at which the work is done and most
probably the projects status awareness determines the success of any construction project. This
shows clearly that information about the project is very vital in real-time decision making for the
project. After proper assessment of the conditions of the site, the allocation of resources can then
follow in a more efficient way after the activities like allocation of the workforce, materials,
equipment, and procurement. Reliable comprehensive decisions can be made by the assistance of
pure semi-automated or automated technology in the collection of data based on the improved
speed and the delivery means. This work discusses the emerging Ultra-Wide Band technology
which aims at resource tracking in the sites of construction and for sensing real-time location on
the object to reduce risk in the site. The technology involves the use of a tool for collecting data
and series of experiments algorithms for processing of data prior to the results based on the
safety of the area of work and tracking the location of the material. The competition created in
the construction sector by the Ultra-Wide Band technology has effects on the construction
management that benefits the industry in various fields of application.

INTRODUCTION
Risk can be defined as an exposure to gain/loss or just the probability of an occurrence
of gain or loss which is later multiplied with its respective magnitude. The descriptive of the
event as certain is only confirmed for the cases where the probability value is 100%. It is 0% if
the level of uncertainty is zero. In between these other activities, there is variation in certainty.
The analysis, as well as management of risk, is a very crucial aspect of the decision making in
the industry of the construction. The clients within the construction industry are the most victims
of the high degree of risks due to the nature of the macro, meso, and microenvironment of their
operation(Ning, Qi and Wu 2018).
There has been however the very poor reputation of the construction industry as far the
risk management is concerned. The contractors, clients, the general public among others have
suffered from the shortage of proper measures in construction risk management(Thabit and
Younus 2018). This implies that the construction sector is associated with very high risks while
the management also keeps being too complex and challenging to manage. The innovation of
technology in industrial construction management is very important based on factors such as;
 Resource tracking in the whole construction chain of supply by the time of the
construction life cycle in the constructed environment. This improves the effectiveness
and efficiency of the construction industry as a whole.
 The stuck-by events result in the extracted contacts, an illustration of heavy equipment.
This shows that the construction industry application of the safety tool design requires
surrounding object position and faster updates.

Various industries are striving for the collection of data for technology advancement on
the basis of priority and also processing to facilitate easy flow of resources that minimizes the
logistic efforts. For example, resource tracking and monitoring the progress of materials in
warehousing and construction. The analysis of benefit-risk and the frequent investment needed in
the construction makes the adaptation of the and its development long lasting. This paper
majorly discusses the possible solution to the everyday problems faced by the personnel in the
field of construction rather than illustrating the reasons for a few implementations in the
technologies of construction. The various emerging technologies are capable of forming the base
for the solutions to the problems. Therefore, for efficient resource tracking and sense of the real-
time location, there is a need for construction processing tools and acquisition of data at faster
rates.
This work, therefore, tries to stipulate the summary on the innovative technologies in the
construction tracking of resources and monitoring of the progress. It also deliberates technology
of Ultra-Wide Band requirements for particular applications in the construction sector. The paper
does not also leave out the conducted experiments in the field of construction using the Ultra-
Wide Band technology.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESEARCH
The positioning of resources located in the past few decades was facilitated by developed interest
resulting from various reasons. There were high demands on the quantity increase on the
production and accuracy in work performance resulting from shrinking budgets, competition
across the world and the natural tight schedules. The high demands have forced different
industries under the construction sector to strive to adapt and get used to the various technologies
which include the Global Positioning System (GPS), laser tracking and current development
