The Challenge
Monitoring and managing an intricate entertainment center
From preliminary construction to post-project handoff, Iconica has the unique ability to adjust to various circumstances with its specialized team. Made up of architects, engineers, estimators, quality control managers, and project leaders, they were entrusted with the construction and engineering of a golf complex for their client ROC Ventures. The three-level entertainment center and 57 open-air golf bays were a unique undertaking that required additional regulations and intricacies, which meant Iconica needed an easy way to guarantee oversight. With multiple partners invested in the project and its location at a distance from Iconica’s headquarters — communication and visibility would be crucial.
The Solution
Relocating OxBlue solar cameras from one job to the next
Iconica wasn’t a stranger to OxBlue and purchased cameras in the past, moving them from job to job. One email is all it took to start their service, relocate the camera and ensure a dedicated customer representative would monitor its health. Using a solar station and their 8MP Cobalt camera, Iconica could review and access the jobsite with just a click from their phones or desktops. An open link to the project made it easy for their client’s to see updates and generate time-lapses for additional marketing. The cellular construction cameras became a source of truth that all could review.
The Implementation
Using jobsite documentation for accountability
The camera automatically documents the project, creating a perfect history of activity. All stakeholders could keep a close eye on compliance, safety and partner activity. When a dispute arose over schedule adherence and manpower levels with a subcontractor, Iconica was able to go back in time and see who was liable. The image record made it easy to “trust, but verify” what was happening on the jobsite. The documentation was a source of truth and included day-to-day details about weather conditions. When snow covered the site, the team knew they could use the camera to monitor impact on progress and ensure weather credits were applied appropriately.
