dc.description.abstractConstruction projects increasingly rely on processing vast amounts of data from multiple sources, including consultants (BIM), cloud-based project management platforms (e.g., Aconex), planning departments, construction sites, main contractors, and subcontractors. However, inefficiencies in data acquisition and reliance on manual data entry hinder real-time project analysis, delay notifications, and decision-making. This study introduces the Real-Time Data-Driven Construction Project Analysis Framework (RealCONs) to address these challenges by streamlining data flow and enhancing project performance. A comparative analysis used eight case studies four employing the existing approach and four utilising RealCONs—to assess improvements in data integration, early delay identification, and decision-making efficiency. The results, validated through Earned Value Management (EVM) and Earned Schedule Management (ESM) metrics, demonstrate that RealCONs significantly enhance project forecasting accuracy, schedule adherence, and cost management. Additionally, statistical analyses, including the Shapiro-Wilk test and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank analysis, confirm that RealCONs outperform the existing approach by reducing data collection and decision-making delays, enabling project managers to implement proactive mitigation strategies. These findings highlight RealCONs’ potential to improve project efficiency, reduce costs, and optimise real-time construction management.
