How ConstructionSense works when you are running the site
You are not buying a camera on a pole. You are buying a record that proves progress, argues a wet-weather claim with its own rain gauge, and tells you what happened at the boundary after hours. Here is what that asks of the site, and of us.
Who this is for
Head contractors, project and site managers, and the person who has to answer for the programme, the claim and the neighbours.
The quote is a working page you can change yourself. A person reads what you send, and if the site changes the price we tell you before anything is booked.
What the first event actually looks like
Not a rollout plan. The shape of one event, done properly.
- 01
Price it yourself
Cameras, weather, sensors, the base station and the install choice, per node per month, on the instant quote. Send it and it lands with a person.
- 02
Positions and dates on a call
Fifteen minutes to fix the camera positions, the install or delivery date and what the site needs from our crew or yours.
- 03
Up before the slab
A managed install is usually on site within two weeks. A self-install kit ships staged to your account within a week, with the guide and the shopping list.
- 04
A report before every claim
Monthly coverage report, the weather on the same timeline, the boundary log, and the film and archive at practical completion.
Your team, mapped before day one
Every measurement has a named destination, a trigger, a channel and a person who confirmed it arrived.
Site crew and supervisors
The people on the ground who can do something about it in the next ten minutes.
- Gate and after-hours movement alerts with the frame attached
- Dust and noise readings against the limit set for that site, on the hour they matter
- A node that has stopped reporting, before anyone downstream notices a gap
- The live view and the last frame from every position, on a phone, on site
On: When something happens, When a reading crosses a line
Through: Push to the crew app, SMS, A screen on the wall
Project management
Project managers, site managers and foremen running the programme.
- The daily site note: what changed, what arrived, what stopped, written from the day’s frames
- Weather on the same timeline as the frames, so a lost day carries its own evidence
- Progress compared between any two dates on the programme, from the same position and framing
- The monthly coverage report: frames captured against frames expected, with every gap explained
On: On a schedule, At a milestone, When somebody asks
Through: The site dashboard, Email, scheduled, A signed document
Commercial and contract administration
Quantity surveyors and contract administrators building claims, variations and delay notices.
- A claim pack on your claim cycle: the period’s frames, the weather record and the coverage statement in one document
- Rainfall, gust and temperature by day, exportable for a wet-weather or EOT submission
- Any date pulled from the archive as a dated, referenced frame rather than a recollection
- The delivery and plant record at the marked gates, by date
On: On a schedule, When somebody asks
Through: A signed document, Email, scheduled, Into your own system
Health, safety and environment
WHS managers and safety advisers holding the environmental and site-conduct obligations.
- Dust and noise against the limit for that site, with the exceedance duration and the conditions at the time
- Tilt and vibration on hoarding, scaffold or a neighbouring structure, with the alert threshold you set
- After-hours movement and gate events, for the incident record rather than for response
- A monthly environmental summary with every exceedance, its duration and the frame beside it
On: When a reading crosses a line, When something happens, On a schedule
Through: Push to the crew app, Email, scheduled, A signed document
The client and the superintendent
The principal’s representative, the superintendent and the end client.
- A read-only view of the site, scoped to the positions you choose to share
- A monthly progress note with the period’s comparison frames
- The milestone frames as they happen: the pour, the lift, the topping out
On: On a schedule, At a milestone
Through: The site dashboard, Email, scheduled
Marketing and communications
The people who need the build to look like the build.
- The curated daily frame, one a day, taken nearest midday so the light holds across the programme
- The completion film rendered at 4K from the full sequence
- Milestone stills at full resolution, cleared for use, with the date on them
On: At a milestone, When somebody asks, On a schedule
Through: The site dashboard, Email, scheduled
Executive and portfolio
The general manager or director who carries more than one site at a time.
- One view across every live site: which positions are reporting, which are not, and since when
- Coverage across the portfolio in a single figure, per site and in total
- Weather-affected days by site, for the month and for the year to date
- Nodes in service, nodes on the shelf and nodes due back from a finished job
On: On a schedule
Through: The site dashboard, Email, scheduled, A screen on the wall
Your security provider
The licensed provider who responds after hours.
- The after-hours alert with the clip, the position and the site address attached
- An escalation if the first alert is not acknowledged inside the window you set
- A monthly log of every alert sent and every response recorded against it
On: When something happens
Through: Push to the crew app, SMS, Into your own system
Subcontractors and trades
A trade that needs one position, one zone or one window and nothing else.
- A single position or zone, for a date range that expires on its own
- The frames covering their own works, for their own records and claims
On: When somebody asks
Through: The site dashboard, Email, scheduled
What happens if nobody acknowledges it
Sent
Immediately
The route fires to the people holding that role right now, on every channel that route carries.
Acknowledged
One tap
The first person to acknowledge takes it, and everyone else on the route sees that it is taken. The acknowledgement and the name are logged.
Re-routed
On the window you set
Unacknowledged inside the window, it goes to the next name on that route. Windows are per route: a gate alert is not a coverage report.
Escalated
On the second window
It reaches the escalation contact for that site, and the fact that the first two steps did not land appears in the monthly report.
Questions we will actually ask
These are the same questions in the demo form. We ask them because the answers change the kit, the room, and who needs to sit in.
We will ask
What does the record have to survive?
A progress claim, a wet-weather delay, a subcontractor dispute and a launch reel need different capture intervals and different positions. We ask first so the kit fits the argument.
Question 1
We will ask
Which position has to follow the works?
An internal camera that tracks the fit-out moves. Remote-guided moves by your crew are included; attended visits are a line you can see. Knowing which is which keeps the quote honest.
Question 2
We will ask
What can we clamp to, and where is the site office?
A free-standing pole is a line on the quote; scaffold, fence or the shed is not. The base station wants the site office roof, which also decides Wi-Fi reach for the cameras.
Question 3
We will ask
Does the site have power and signal?
Neither is required. Solar and 4G are the default. Where there is PoE or mains we use it, and the quote drops the lines it no longer needs.
Question 4
We will ask
Which of your departments needs to know, and how fast?
Site crew, project management, commercial, HSE, the client and superintendent, marketing, executive and your security provider can all read different numbers off the same site. Naming them at the routing session is what the deployment gets built around, not an afterthought after handover.
Question 5
Straight answers
Can our own crew install it?
Yes. Choose the hire or own option on the instant quote. The kit ships staged to your account with a printed guide, a position sheet template and the shopping list for a pole if you want to supply your own. We commission every position with you on a video call.
What if a camera goes down?
The monitoring raises it within fifteen minutes, we diagnose remotely within four business hours, and a guided swap of the spare in your shed or a replacement is within one business day. A technician is on site within three business days in regional Queensland. Severity decides where we enter that ladder, never how long you wait.
Who owns the footage?
You do. The timelapse, the frame archive, the weather log and every export are yours at handover, and the archive stays in the portal for twelve months after practical completion.
Does the AI identify workers?
No. Detection is presence and count. There is no facial recognition and no biometric matching, review frames are anonymised silhouettes, and none of it is a safety system. We help you word the notice your induction and WHS plan need.
Who gets the alert at 2am?
Whoever holds the site-crew role that week, on the app, with the frame attached, day or night. If it is not acknowledged inside the window you set, it re-routes to the next name on that route and then escalates - the same ladder every route on your account follows.
Can my client see the site?
Only what you grant, position by position, and you can withdraw it. The client and the superintendent get a read-only view and a monthly progress note, not the sensor readings or the alerts that go to your site crew.
Can a subcontractor see only their own works?
Yes. One position or zone, for a window that expires on its own, granted by your project manager. They see their own works and nothing else on the site, and access is revoked automatically at the end date, not left open for someone to remember.
What happens when the person holding a role goes on leave?
A route is addressed to whoever holds the role that week, not to a name, so it does not go quiet because one person is away. Update who holds a role from the dashboard, and until you do, an unacknowledged alert still re-routes to the next name and then escalates.
Does the superintendent see the coverage report?
Only if you choose to include them. The default view for the client and the superintendent is the read-only site view and the monthly progress note; the coverage report goes to project management by default, and you can add the superintendent to that distribution if you want them reading it too.
Rather talk it through first?
Book a time and your answers come with you, or call the office line. Either way you get the person who reads the enquiries.
