Workflow Steps

Drone Site SurveyView skill →

Capture aerial imagery and generate 3D point clouds of the construction site

As-Built vs. Planned ComparisonView skill →

Compare actual construction progress against the BIM model and planned schedule

Progress QuantificationView skill →

Quantify completion percentages by trade, zone, and work package

Progress Report GenerationView skill →

Generate visual progress reports with schedule variance analysis for stakeholder communication

Implementation Guide

This moderate workflow consists of 4 sequential steps. Each step builds on the output of the previous one, creating a complete progress tracking pipeline for the construction industry. Start by implementing each step individually, then connect them through a data pipeline. Use structured data formats (JSON) to pass information between steps for reliability.

Estimated Cost

Moderate 4-step workflow. Estimated $0.10–$1 per execution depending on model and data size.

Best Practices

Implement retry logic with exponential backoff between steps.
Add checkpoint saving so the workflow can resume from failures.
Monitor step-level latency and success rates.
Validate outputs at each step before passing to the next.

Success Criteria

Pipeline completes successfully for 95%+ of test cases
Error handling gracefully manages common failure modes
Processing time is consistently within acceptable bounds
Output quality validated against domain-specific benchmarks
