    Improve Jobsite Communication with Visual Data

    How to Automate and Improve Jobsite Communication

    On any given day, project managers and main contractors have a list filled with tasks and small details — and documenting what happens on the jobsite can be a time consuming part of their day.

    Keeping project records is more than a compliance or customer-enforced rule. It’s how contractors can show progress and roadblocks, protect themselves from disputes and prevent miscommunication.

    While field notebooks, quick texts and email updates are great for capturing the action in close proximity, there is an easy tool that can document the jobsite without manual oversight. Construction cameras capture the big picture and key details about what’s happening on the project, creating an unbiased record teams can rely on for information.

    OxBlue’s professional camera systems generate a photographic memory of the jobsite and further automate the documentation process in a few key ways.

    Sends routine reports automatically.

    Jotted down notes can leave out a lot of detail, creating room for misjudgment and miscommunication when reviewed later on. Main contractors can help eliminate confusion and keep clean records by using images and artificial intelligence-analysis to communicate with stakeholders.

    The OxBlue interface simplifies communication with one-click sharing features, project management software integrations and reports generated by A.I. Each morning, primary contractors and project leads can see a dashboard that highlights productivity and equipment utilisation through the day, week and project timeline. They can easily schedule updates of specific images, custom time lapses or video recordings in one place, leaving little room for forgetfulness or errors.

    Using an automated process means clients still get the details they need on their investment while freeing workers to focus on what matters most.

    Shows weather history and notable conditions.

    It’s not just what contractors do on the site that matters, how the weather impacts materials and progress makes a difference. Documenting bad weather isn’t as simple as merely stating it rained. Were specific milestones blocked? Labour hours shortened?

    Conditions that may interfere with jobsite progress are documented and highlighted by OxBlue’s interface automatically. Project managers can see when, where and how a project was impacted by weather and take action as needed. This helps teams easily navigate unmanageable disruptions that get in the way of project completion.

    Creates a single source of truth.

    As the jobsite progresses, the landscape changes. What used to be a patch of grass may now be the beginning of a storefront. Within OxBlue’s digital interface, contractors can review the project’s history in multiple ways. Teams can access images from any time and date, use image comparison tools, or markup details as needed.

    Using these visual data tools, teams can communicate key data points about the jobsite without manual review of days and months worth of archived information. Contractors can track what happens on the field quickly and easily. And project managers can measure progress in the past five minutes or five months — creating a better, error-free way to document the job.
