The Challenge
Prevent disruptions and share updates
Large-scale construction projects with the potential to disrupt traffic flow and cause noise garner significant community interest, so Boston University needed an easy way to communicate with their general contractors, Bond Brothers. The GC team needed remote access, progress monitoring and an easy way to share updates.
The Solution
Web-based construction cameras with unlimited users
The OxBlue web app provides a complete solution that is not complex. Access can range from completely public to restricted with several security options. The web app allows an unlimited amount of users to stay up-to-date on project progress as well as review historical documentation.
The Implementation
Keep projects moving with reduced site visits
General contractor Bond Brothers Inc. found the cameras to be useful in three important ways: keeping the fast-moving project on schedule, staying within budget, and as an internal tool for continuous improvement. Because of the cameras, the project manager was able to maintain control and forward momentum without added site visits or compromising on the aggressive schedule.
