Abstract: Inefficient control is problematic in all business sectors notably in the manufacture. Accumulation of unresolved problems in some industries like construction befalls tangible losses like financial, material, human, etc. That causes a subsequent negative effect not only on contractors but also on clients and end-users. There is not a universal solution for quality control, applicable in all projects and processes. Therefore, it is a present-day case study to explore the main issues in various management control systems (MCS). The article emphasizes the necessity of an automatic controlling tool for monitoring and tracking performance in all phases of a construction project. Using qualitative and quantitative research methods as well as statistical methods of analysis, we examine whether communication plays a key role in the controlling process. Thereafter, we prototype a new communication-based mobile application, which allows controlling construction and repair activities automatically.
