Construction Cameras for General Contractors
You're running multiple projects, managing subcontractors, and keeping clients happy—all while protecting your company from claims. Construction cameras give you visibility across all your sites without spending your days in the car.
Why GCs Use Construction Cameras
Reduce Travel Time
Check sites remotely instead of driving to each one daily. Save 10-25 hours per week.
Protect Your Position
Timestamped documentation defends you when claims arise. Evidence beats arguments.
Improve Coordination
Share the same visual record with subs, owners, and team members. Everyone sees the same thing.
Track Progress
Visual timeline shows exactly how work progressed. Verify milestones and billing accuracy.
Common Challenges, Solved
Managing Multiple Sites
You can't be everywhere at once, but you need to know what's happening across all your projects.
Check any site from your phone or computer. View live photos and browse history without driving anywhere.
Subcontractor Coordination
Verifying work completion, confirming crews are on site, and coordinating between trades.
See when subs arrive and leave. Verify work completion before scheduling the next trade. Document handoffs.
Progress Documentation
Manual photos are inconsistent. Important moments get missed. Records have gaps.
Automatic photos up to every minute create complete documentation without anyone remembering to take photos.
Claims & Disputes
When disputes arise, you need evidence. Memories fade, but photos don't.
Timestamped photos prove what happened and when. Defend against delay claims, quality disputes, and change order disagreements.
Client Communication
Owners want updates. Site visits take time. Phone calls lack context.
Share camera access with clients. They can check progress themselves, reducing update calls and building trust.

How GCs Use Cameras Daily
Frequently Asked Questions
How do contractors typically use construction cameras?
General contractors use cameras primarily for: daily progress checks without site visits, subcontractor verification, client updates, documentation for billing, and claims defense. Most GCs check their cameras daily—often multiple times—and share access with project managers, owners, and key subcontractors.
Can I manage multiple project cameras from one account?
Yes. Builder.Cam supports multi-project management. You can access all your project cameras from a single login, quickly switching between sites. This is essential for GCs running multiple projects simultaneously.
How do cameras help with subcontractor management?
Cameras verify when subcontractors arrive and leave, show work progress throughout the day, and document the condition of areas before and after each trade works. This helps resolve disputes about schedules, work quality, and coordination between trades.
What's the ROI for a general contractor?
At €250 per month (typical configuration), the camera pays for itself if it saves you 4-5 hours of travel monthly—and most GCs save far more. The real value often comes from avoiding a single disputed claim, which can easily cost tens of thousands in legal fees and delays.
Can clients access the camera too?
Yes, and we encourage it. When owners have direct access to progress photos, they make fewer 'just checking in' calls and feel more connected to their project. You control permissions—full access or view-only as appropriate.
