Real-time monitoring and controlling of construction activities are being increasingly conducted in the construction industry with a view to improving efficiency and safety, and improvement in project management. Such development brings development with a new paradigm of construction project management where the decision becomes faster, better resource allocation, and better productivity. These technologies are based on real-time data collection, analysis, and control mechanisms based on a set of sensors, software, and tools to provide the stakeholders with information regarding how risks and resource utilization are progressing with the project. The further optimization of the planning and scheduling process through these technologies has even increased the connection between construction management tools, such as Primavera P6, to improve the project's outcomes and make the execution smoother. This paper focuses on the potential benefits of smart technologies on construction site management, how they could be integrated into project management software such as Primavera P6, their challenges, and how combining them with project management software could benefit the project manager.
