The ROI of Time Lapse Cameras: How investing in technology can benefit your construction company.


In today’s fast-paced construction industry the use of technology is becoming increasingly important. A rapidly evolving technology that is proving valuable to construction companies are time lapse cameras. Time lapse cameras have been used in the construction industry for many years and their popularity is increasing as technology has advanced and new features are being adapted into these cameras. Not only do our cameras provide a unique perspective on your construction project but they also offer you a range of benefits that can help improve your companies bottom line and provide a solid return on investment (ROI).


Scheduling & resource underutilisation.
One of the most salient benefits of our time lapse cameras are their ability to enhance project management. Through our online web portal, users can use our cameras create time lapse videos of their construction sites to highlight how their projects progress over time. Construction managers can also utilise our cameras to easily identify areas where work may be behind schedule and/or situations where resources may be underutilised. These factors allow you and other managers to make informed decisions about how to best allocate resources and keep your project on track.

Additionally, documentation of your construction site can be timely; tracking who comes and goes, and when deliveries are made requires paperwork and/or online forms. Our construction time lapse cameras can help provide you with a visual record of not only the project’s progress but, with ever-evolving technology, time lapse cameras have the ability to automatically identify any personal or delivery vehicle that enters the premises as well as the
ability to track equipment that has been delivered or is currently in use.


Reducing accidents & incidents.
Accidents and incidents happen. Our time lapse cameras can monitor them. By providing an objective view of the site and the activities taking place, time lapse cameras can help identify unsafe work practices and areas of potential danger. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the construction industry has the highest rate of work-related injuries for men in Australia. Additionally, according to a study by the Center for Construction Research and Training, construction sites with time lapse cameras have recorded reductions in accidents & near misses by up to 85%. Near misses should be recorded, but they rarely are; with our time lapse cameras you can track these near misses, identify potential hazard ‘hot-spots’, and take corrective measures before a serious accident occurs.


Marketing & promotion.
Using our time lapse cameras can help provide you and your company with a marketing advantage over competitors. By showing your work through time lapse videos you can demonstrate your company’s expertise and capabilities to potential clients and investors. This can assist in generating new business, increasing revenue, and growing brand recognition.

Efficiency.
Research has shown that using time lapse cameras on construction sites can assist in improving project efficiency and reducing costs. A study conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology found that time lapse cameras may be a contributing factor to reduced project durations on construction sites, as they provide increased clarity of the work that is being done and how that may align with managers expectations. This reduction in project duration can translate into cost savings for your company and faster project delivery times. The ability to monitor progress and identify potential issues in real-time can allow your company to save money by avoiding any costly mistakes or delays on site.
Overall, the return on investment of time lapse cameras is clear. By improving project management, safety, marketing, and cost savings, investing in this technology can provide a significant benefit for your company. With the industry becoming increasing competitive, investing in our cameras is a wise decision for any company looking to stay ahead of the curve.
