Construction Activity Tracking

CAT stands for Construction Activity Tracking, a method or system used in the construction industry to monitor, record, and analyze the progress of various tasks on a job site. It involves tracking daily activities such as equipment usage, labor hours, material deliveries, completed tasks, and safety incidents. CAT systems help project managers stay on schedule, identify delays early, allocate resources efficiently, and maintain transparency with clients and stakeholders.

Modern CAT solutions often use digital tools, including mobile apps, cloud-based dashboards, and real-time reporting to streamline project monitoring. Whether on small residential jobs or large infrastructure projects, Construction Activity Tracking improves communication between teams, reduces costly rework, and supports data-driven decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
