The increasing adoption of visual dashboards in the construction industry holds potential for improved project management, elevated communication, transparency, and decision-making. This study explores the utilization of visual dashboards in construction projects, analyzing strengths, limitations, and improvement opportunities. Surveying construction professionals with over five years of experience, the analysis identifies key features of effective visual dashboards, including real-time data, interactivity, user-friendliness, and customizability. Challenges include real-time data integration intricacies. Participants advocate for user-centric designs, comprehensive data tracking, and regular updates. Further research could investigate dashboards' impact on project performance, address integration challenges, and explore ethical considerations.
