Building defects like cracks and vibrations also affects the daily routines, safety, emergency responses, public trust, and economics. Inhabitants face discomfort, and safety becomes a worry when the emergency responses are delayed, leading to an aberration in public opinion that affects both reputation and inhabitants’ rate. The research addresses this complex scenario by employing low-cost sensors to detect cracks and vibrations in buildings, enhancing safety through emergency messages dispatched to mobile devices via the internet. Moreover, the research introduces real-time monitoring through an IoT platform, effectively tackling these challenges and mitigating their broad implications for buildings and communities. The manifold advantages of the approach include the cost-effective utilization of sensors, offering a financially feasible solution, while the real-time monitoring feature ensures swift action in response to emerging concerns. The entire process is orchestrated and managed by the NodeMCU microcontroller.
