progress-photo-analyzer
This skill systematically catalogs construction site progress photos by date, location, category, and custom tags, then enables filtering and comparison queries to track work completion against planned schedules. Use it to organize unstructured field photography into searchable records that identify delays, document quality issues, and provide visual evidence of project advancement across different zones and building levels.

# Field Progress Photo Analyzer
## Business Case
Site photos document progress but are often poorly organized. This skill provides systematic photo cataloging and analysis.
## Technical Implementation
```python
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime, date
from typing import Dict, Any, List, Optional
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from enum import Enum
class PhotoCategory(Enum):
PROGRESS = "progress"
QUALITY = "quality"
SAFETY = "safety"
DELIVERY = "delivery"
ISSUE = "issue"
GENERAL = "general"
@dataclass
class SitePhoto:
photo_id: str
filename: str
captured_date: datetime
category: PhotoCategory
location: str
level: str
zone: str
captured_by: str
description: str
tags: List[str] = field(default_factory=list)
activity_code: str = ""
file_path: str = ""
class ProgressPhotoAnalyzer:
def __init__(self, project_name: str):
self.project_name = project_name
self.photos: Dict[str, SitePhoto] = {}
self._counter = 0
def catalog_photo(self, filename: str, captured_date: datetime,
category: PhotoCategory, location: str, level: str,
captured_by: str, description: str = "",
zone: str = "", tags: List[str] = None) -> SitePhoto:
self._counter += 1
photo_id = f"PH-{self._counter:05d}"
photo = SitePhoto(
photo_id=photo_id,
filename=filename,
captured_date=captured_date,
category=category,
location=location,
level=level,
zone=zone,
captured_by=captured_by,
description=description,
tags=tags or []
)
self.photos[photo_id] = photo
return photo
def get_photos_by_date(self, target_date: date) -> List[SitePhoto]:
return [p for p in self.photos.values()
if p.captured_date.date() == target_date]
def get_photos_by_location(self, level: str, zone: str = None) -> List[SitePhoto]:
photos = [p for p in self.photos.values() if p.level == level]
if zone:
photos = [p for p in photos if p.zone == zone]
return photos
def search_by_tag(self, tag: str) -> List[SitePhoto]:
tag_lower = tag.lower()
return [p for p in self.photos.values()
if any(tag_lower in t.lower() for t in p.tags)]
def get_summary(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
by_category = {}
by_level = {}
for p in self.photos.values():
cat = p.category.value
by_category[cat] = by_category.get(cat, 0) + 1
by_level[p.level] = by_level.get(p.level, 0) + 1
return {
'total_photos': len(self.photos),
'by_category': by_category,
'by_level': by_level
}
def export_catalog(self, output_path: str):
data = [{
'ID': p.photo_id,
'Filename': p.filename,
'Date': p.captured_date,
'Category': p.category.value,
'Level': p.level,
'Zone': p.zone,
'Location': p.location,
'By': p.captured_by,
'Tags': ', '.join(p.tags)
} for p in self.photos.values()]
pd.DataFrame(data).to_excel(output_path, index=False)
```
## Quick Start
```python
analyzer = ProgressPhotoAnalyzer("Office Tower")
photo = analyzer.catalog_photo(
filename="IMG_001.jpg",
captured_date=datetime.now(),
category=PhotoCategory.PROGRESS,
location="Column Grid B-3",
level="Level 5",
captured_by="Site Super",
tags=["concrete", "forming"]
)
```

- **DDC Book**: Chapter 4.1 - Site DocumentationGenerate automated daily progress reports from site data. Track work completed, labor hours, equipment usage, and weather conditions.
Analyze labor productivity from site data. Compare planned vs actual, identify trends, benchmark against industry standards.
Create interactive KPI dashboards for construction projects. Track schedule, cost, quality, and safety metrics in real-time.
Detect and analyze geometric clashes in BIM models. Identify MEP, structural, and architectural conflicts before construction.
Classify BIM elements using AI and standard classification systems. Map elements to UniFormat, MasterFormat, OmniClass, and CWICR codes.
Generate comprehensive BIM model validation reports. Check data quality, completeness, and compliance with standards.
Calculate CO2 emissions and carbon footprint from BIM model data. Analyze embodied carbon by material, element, and building system.
Extract quantities from IFC/Revit models for quantity takeoff. Uses DDC converters to get element counts, areas, volumes, lengths with grouping and reporting.
