Large commercial builds

Big programs have many moving parts, and many people who need to see them.

A large commercial build runs for a long stretch, with trades arriving, overlapping, and moving on in a sequence that rarely holds still. When several buildings go up at once, keeping that sequence coordinated across the whole site is its own job. A camera on each vantage point gives the project team one continuous view of where every part of the work stands, so a check that once meant a site walk can happen from a desk.

The people who need to see progress are rarely all on site. Owners, head office, and project controls each form a picture of the job from a distance, and that picture is only as good as the last update they received. Buildcam captures each stage as it happens and puts it in Sentinel OS, where a shared link shows the current state of the work without a round of calls or a folder of emailed photos. Role-based access keeps each party to the view they are meant to have.

Across a long program, the same footage that keeps everyone informed becomes the record of how the project was actually built. Timestamped frames from first dig to handover document the order of work and the conditions on site at any point. When a question lands about what happened and when, whether it concerns a variation, an inspection, or a claim, the answer is already captured and ready to export.

How it works on site

Three problems Buildcam solves on every project.

Change order evidence

When a dispute lands, the record is already there. Every frame is timestamped and stored in Sentinel OS. Pull the footage, build the timeline, close the variation.

Client access without the phone calls

Share a project link and your client sees exactly what was built, when. No monthly photo emails. No Friday afternoon calls asking for an update.

Milestone photography, automated

Schedule capture intervals around your program. Slab pours, steel erection, facade completion: the camera captures the milestone whether you are on site or not.

Questions about monitoring large construction projects.

The ones that come up most on construction projects. The full FAQ lives in Resources.

Yes. Each camera captures independently, and every feed on a project sits inside the same view in Sentinel OS. On a multi-building program you can position cameras at different vantage points and follow each part of the site from a single dashboard, which cuts down on trips across a large or spread-out site.
The record runs continuously, so you can see the sequence of work as it happened rather than relying on memory or catch-up calls. Reviewing the timeline shows when a trade started, how a handover between trades played out, and where the program sat on a given day. That gives site and office teams a shared reference when they plan the weeks ahead.
It is one of the main reasons contractors and owners use it. Your project feed opens in any browser or in the PhotoSentinel mobile app, so you can check progress before you leave for the day and stay across a site you cannot visit often. The footage is timestamped, so you always know exactly when a frame was taken.
The footage stays in Sentinel OS for the life of the project and remains exportable at full resolution with its capture timestamps intact. That gives you a permanent, chronological account of the whole build, from the first dig through to handover, which is useful for the handover package, for institutional knowledge, and for future reference.
Yes. Sentinel OS has role-based access, so you can grant an owner, client, or head-contractor a read-only view of a project. They see the timeline and imagery for the scope you set, which keeps stakeholders informed and reduces the run of update requests without giving away access to your account or your other projects.
The cameras are solar powered and cellular connected, with an onboard battery that carries them through overcast days and overnight. There is no reliance on mains power or fixed internet on site, which suits the length and conditions of a typical construction program. Captures continue through the build without a technician on site.
Cost depends on the project, the number of cameras, and how long the build runs. Refer to our pricing page for a full breakdown of our pricing. If you request a quote, a team member will call you back to confirm site details and the right setup for your program.
