At present KSPHC is engaged in the construction of over 5,978 quarters and other non-residential buildings in over 686 locations distributed throughout the length and the breadth of Karnataka amounting to over Rs.316 crores. Monitoring the construction activities in the remotest of locations could have been a tedious process resulting in time consumption and cost overruns, but for Web Based Project Management System.

Internet has emerged as a revolutionary new technology which has cut the barrier of time and can be used to deliver the right kind of information, anywhere, anytime to those who need it.

KSPHC conceived of an innovative scheme of remotely monitoring the construction activities; assess the progress and quality of construction by adopting the internet technologies. The progress of the work at the remote construction sites can be independently uploaded to the website by the contractor as well as the officers stationed at the site. The project management cell at Bangalore instantaly accesses this data from the website and take appropriate action to minimize the time and cost overruns.
