Abstract: The construction of trenches and pipelines is essential to the infrastructure sector, but because of safety and technical concerns, progress monitoring is difficult. This study assesses how well photogrammetry, a cost-effective and adaptable Industry 4.0 technology, can improve safety and sustainability in construction monitoring. The graphical user interface, computational efficiency, point cloud density, model quality, percent completion, and noise in the produced 3D models were the criteria used to evaluate the six photogrammetry tools: Autodesk Recap Pro, Agisoft Metashape Pro, COLMAP, VisualSFM, Meshroom, and Regard 3D. Performance under specified conditions was examined using a trench and pipeline dataset. The results show that Agisoft Metashape Pro and Autodesk Recap Pro performed exceptionally well, offering thorough and precise 3D reconstructions with excellent models and low noise. This research promotes the use of photogrammetry by emphasizing its advantages over conventional methods in terms of affordability and sustainability. It highlights photogrammetry's contribution to resilient and sustainable practices and provides industry experts with advice on how to choose appropriate methods for tracking building progress. The results help stakeholders feel more confident about implementing photogrammetric technologies that are suited to various building settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
