The Challenge

Keeping eyes on the slice of pie

Centered in Nashville, crossed by train tracks and freeways, is a triangular shape plot of land, set to be a multifamily housing development. This “slice of pie” as it’d be known, was less than a mile from the Nashville Convention Center, a growing pocket of trendy new developments.

Avenue Construction, a full service general contractor, partnered with CA South Developments to create a space for residents and retailers. They needed a way to keep teams informed, secure the site after-hours and monitor their “slice of the pie.”

The Solution

Remote controlled video webcameras

Avenue Construction utilized OxBlue’s Sapphire pan-tilt-zoom camera. The live video features and ability to control angles remotely on any device was important for the remote teams outside of Nashville involved in the project. Since OxBlue offers unlimited users, Avenue was able to share access with their clients, remote architects and bank inspectors. 

  • “The pricing was very competitive, the ease of install was great and the timing and service was phenomenal. Our customer support rep communicated clearly, concisely and overall created a positive experience.”

    -Dan Arnold, Senior Project Manager, Avenue Construction

  • “The cameras helped us streamline communication with our investors and development partners. We had weekly OAC meetings and on many occasions we’d use the camera to show the real-time progress.”

    -Dan Arnold, Senior Project Manager, Avenue Construction

  • “This ended up being one of the top market rate condos in Nashville, so having the great footage from OxBlue and the pro time-lapse was useful for marketing with our partners.”

The Implementation

Live-streaming and time-lapse progress reports

Using the live video and time-lapse features helped streamline communication between Avenue’s investors. Easy access to the image history allowed Avenue to quickly correct overage-charges and save themselves from unnecessary costs by trade partners. Built-in motion detection features helped Avenue provide a secondary measure of security on the jobsite and deter theft.

The Results

A top-tier multifamily housing development

The Pie Town development is now one of the top market rate condos in Nashville, where demand in housing is growing quickly. The 83-unit residential and retail space has a design aesthetic modeled after The Edition in Los Angeles, bringing a touch of the West Coast to this Southern town. With the cameras, Avenue Construction and CA South were able to share time-lapses to generate excitement among new residents.
