AI-Driven construction execution monitoring

What This Workflow Does

Monitor construction execution with AI by analyzing site photos from Google Drive and automatically generating structured Work Performance Data.

This workflow enables you to:

  • Monitor construction progress with Google Drive and OpenAI
  • Generate engineering analysis reports with AI
  • Distribute structured technical reports via Gmail
  • Log Work Performance Data into Google Sheets
  • Archive processed evidence in Google Drive for audit traceability

How to Use This Template

Use this template to automate construction inspection and execution monitoring by combining:

  • Google Drive → Retrieve and manage site photos
  • OpenAI (GPT model) → Perform structured engineering analysis
  • Gmail → Send technical reports to stakeholders
  • Google Sheets → Store structured Work Performance Data
  • Google Drive (Move & Share) → Archive and control processed files

Action-Oriented Overview

You can:

  • Retrieve construction photos with Google Drive and filter only image files
  • Analyze construction execution with OpenAI using a structured engineering prompt
  • Generate a technical report covering:
    • Stage of work
    • Execution quality
    • Risks and non-conformities
    • Safety conditions
    • Technical recommendations
  • Send the structured report via Gmail with the original image attached
  • Log execution data into Google Sheets as Work Performance Data
  • Move processed images to an archive folder in Google Drive

What You Achieve

With this workflow, you can:

  • Do AI-powered construction monitoring with Google Drive and OpenAI
  • Do digital quality and safety verification using image analysis
  • Do automated stakeholder reporting with Gmail
