1. A sensor network for managing the location of materials on a construction site, comprising:

  • a plurality of radio frequency sensors having unique identifiers;

    attachments for attaching the radio frequency sensors to selected items;

    a radio frequency sensor reader network comprising two or more radio frequency sensor readers, at least two radio frequency sensor readers sensing the unique identifier of each of the radio frequency sensors and the distance from the radio frequency sensor reader to each radio frequency sensor;

    a processor connected to the radio frequency sensor reader network for determining the location of at least one radio frequency sensor based on the unique identifier and distance sensed by each radio frequency sensor reader;

    a selection device for selecting a radio frequency sensor based on a user input;

    at least one image capture device having a movable field of view, the field of view moving in response to the user input into the selection device and the corresponding location calculated by the processor to include the selected radio frequency sensor; and

    a display device connected to the image capture device for displaying the field of view of the image capture device.
