Why Communication is the Foundation of Construction Safety

Seeing What Others Missed: Communication in a High-Risk Environment

Roger Boisjoly was a booster rocket engineer at NASA in Utah in 1986. Six months before the launch of The Challenger, Boisjoly and fellow engineers noticed a problem: the elastic seals at the joints of the rockets tended to stiffen and unseal in cold weather.

Boisjoly and his crew reported the problem to the NASA officials in charge of the launch, but project leaders decided to go ahead. Their decision to refute what they interpreted as one man’s opinion resulted in one of the most tragic disasters in aerospace history. As Boisjoly and his team feared, the rocket exploded shortly after launch.

Construction Communication is a Result of Physical and Psychological Safety

Boisjoly’s insight—and the failure of leadership to act on it—became a pivotal lesson in the importance of visibility, communication, and documentation in high-risk environments.

Like aerospace, the construction industry is full of dangers that can be mitigated through clear communication. But for workers to report potential physical hazards, a culture that encourages transparent communication must exist.

The first type of safety communication includes safety training, clear signage, high-visibility gear, wearable alert devices, and regular safety meetings to ensure everyone on site understands the risks.

The second aspect of job site communication concerns psychological safety—a company culture where workers feel safe speaking up about hazards or mistakes. Psychological safety is built through transparent leadership and a shared belief that evidence, not authority, determines the best course of action.

Construction may involve risks similar to aerospace, but unlike the 1980s, today’s technology allows us to see more, record more, and act faster than ever before. The question is: are we using technology to communicate effectively?

Prepping a Rebar Grid

The State of Construction Safety: Four Insights

The numbers show that while construction safety has improved over the years, there is still significant room for progress:

  1. The construction industry accounts for 20% of all workplace fatalities
  2. 60% of serious injuries occur due to poor communication and lack of real-time visibility
  3. Delays and miscommunication cost the global construction industry $1.8 trillion annually, much of it tied to poor documentation and coordination
  4. An estimated 30% of construction firms have software that doesn’t integrate their visual data into a unified platform that would allow them to see and manage projects remotely

The statistics are clear: too much is left unseen. And what you can’t see, you cannot communicate. When communication fails, workers' lives, project schedules, and successful outcomes are all put at risk.

Visibility, Recording, and Collaboration in Construction

How do we improve as an industry? The answer lies in technology and a shift in values.

Values: A Cultural Shift Toward Transparency
At Evercam, we believe the construction industry is moving toward collaboration and accountability. We also believe that, for safety and economic reasons, all construction will be recorded. The belief that “all construction will be recorded” may sound extreme, but for companies that prioritize their workers’ well-being, it’s a logical step forward.

Today, our global society has come to value human life more than in centuries past. Workers’ rights and safety are a priority. Construction firms, on the whole, realize that it is morally, ethically, and financially unwise to allow people to work in an unsafe environment. As industry awareness around the relationship between communication and safety grows, the safest construction companies are eager to adapt new technologies that help teams communicate quickly, accurately, and in real time. Companies that don’t adopt new tools may find themselves falling behind.

Technology: The Tools for a Safer Future

Technology is transforming how construction teams see, record, and collaborate, providing visibility that ensures teams can leave off reacting to problems in favor of preventing them altogether. Evercam is at the forefront of this transformation, offering a single source of truth—inarguable evidence— that is accessible to all.

Here’s how construction companies use Evercam to save time, money, and lives:

  • Incident Documentation: When something goes wrong, having video evidence ensures clarity, accountability, and fair resolution.
  • Real-Time Oversight: Live monitoring eliminates guesswork, helping teams catch hazards before they escalate.
  • Collaboration Beyond the Jobsite: Remote access means stakeholders, safety officers, and project managers can make decisions together, even from different locations.
  • AI-Powered Insights: Smart analytics transform raw footage into actionable safety data, preventing issues before they arise.
Sharing Visual Technology to Communicate Effectively

Using the Right Technology Increases Communication

Construction safety isn’t just about seeing hazards—it’s about verifying that what is seen gets communicated, understood, and acted upon. This action takes place in an environment where communication is welcome and transparency is encouraged.  

A perfect example comes from the PM Group, where site managers used real-time construction updates via Evercam to improve communication and coordination during fire alarm testing. David Harrison, a PM Group representative, shared how Evercam’s construction monitoring platform allowed him to overlay the most current site layout onto planned testing zones. This meant workers received precise, up-to-date information, preventing confusion and ensuring everyone on site was aware of the impact before testing began. Because of this accurate, real-time data, the notification process was streamlined, and disruptions were minimized.

Technology alone won’t fix communication gaps, but it is a crucial tool for companies that already foster an atmosphere of transparency among their people. Leaning into an overall culture of safety while utilizing construction technology to communicate will create a future that is more efficient—and safer for everyone.

How Cameras + AI Are Transforming Construction Intelligence

How Cameras and AI Are Transforming Construction Intelligence

In early June, our UK Managing Director,  Simon Thompson, took to the stage at Digital Construction Week 2025 to talk about this potential scenario. To a crowd of industry professionals leading the charge for innovation and technology in the built environment, Thompson presented the potential impact that Cameras + AI will have on the way construction projects are run.

The $870 Billion Dollar Problem

The construction industry operates within tight margins, without taking into account the plausibly avoidable cost of rework, delays, and disputes. One study estimates rework at between 6.4% and 5.9% of total contract value. The S&P estimates that global construction contracts were worth $14.5 trillion in 2024, which equates to around $870 billion in rework last year.

Disputes are also  incredibly common and immensely costly, eating away at those narrow profit margins. The average global dispute value in 2021 was $52.6M dollars, with the average resolution time hovering around 16 months.

Delays due to rework and conflict resolution cut further into potential profits, with the USA alone spending more than $177 billion annually to address these problems. These costs reveal a disconnect within the industry, largely caused by miscommunication and data opacity. But the numbers are symptoms of an even deeper disease: information scarcity in an industry that relies upon detailed, precise information to succeed.

Construction visibility is like a light that can show construction teams exactly where communication, coordination and compliance need help, and it all starts with a fairly old technology: cameras.

Well Beyond Surveillance

Construction cameras are still the backbone of visibility, because they provide constant capture in a world where 30 seconds can make the difference between a near miss and a mortal injury. Your construction project managers can make proactive decisions with confidence when they have irrefutable context for every weather delay, materials delivery, and incident that occurs on site.

Even more importantly, when a team can access intelligence tools within one platform, they are able to adapt to new technologies without feeling forced. That’s what happened for Mark Paulton’s team at Global Mining Giant South32. Given the chance to adapt slowly, and seeing the benefit of various channels in one platform, the mining crew elected to use the new visibility technology themselves.

Tools that are essential to a visibility platform like Evercam, include fixed position cameras, BIM integration, drones, 360 camera capture, gate reporting, and mobile capture.

But the question remains: what good is a continuous visual record if you don’t know where to look?

The Revolution: Strategic AI for Construction

Enter CoPilot, an AI-powered assistant that transforms raw visual data into strategic intelligence. Project managers can ask, "Were there any safety incidents last week?" and receive instant, detailed responses with precise timestamps and visual evidence.

The unique platform we are building at Evercam records everything, all the time, creating an unbroken visual timeline that serves as a project's permanent visual memory. Add to this comprehensive camera system the power of AI, and project managers can easily track critical activities throughout the project lifecycle so there are no missing details, and no disputes about what “really” happened.

Moreover, the timeline identifies visually and chronologically when strategic events occurred, so stakeholders and project managers aren’t faced with the burden of remembering make-or-break details during a busy work day. Avoiding disputes on a project is like putting money in the bank. Add to that the time you get back from dispute-related delays, and the savings begin to multiply exponentially.

Real-World Impact

The savings achieved with an integrated visibility platform are already being realized. When a major concrete pour dispute arose on one of our biggest clients’ projects, our continuous camera footage provided irrefutable evidence that resolved the conflict quickly and fairly. Weather delay documentation helped another client recover 12 critical days on their project timeline by proving legitimate weather-related stoppages. Remote monitoring capabilities have also transformed site management, with some projects reducing physical site visits by 80% while maintaining complete oversight.

These aren't hypothetical scenarios. Each case study demonstrates how the difference between profit and loss comes down to having the right information at the right moment.

The Future is Intelligent Construction Visibility

The future of construction will consist of project managers and decision makers having relevant information at the moment of decision. It is about being more proactive, and less reactive. And we finally have the technology, old and new, to make the shift. When AI becomes your interface, relying on the visuals from cameras, your team can go from putting out fires to preventing them entirely. Intelligent monitoring lets you see problems forming and solve them before they become expensive disasters.

In an industry where margins are razor-thin and mistakes are expensive, comprehensive visibility is essential for survival. Construction cameras are the black box recorders for an industry that’s ready to learn from its data.

Evercam and Mercury Partner on €1.2M Deal to Increase Construction Efficiency in Ireland

Evercam and Mercury Engineering Partnership

European Construction Leader Mercury Engineering has announced the formal expansion of its three-year partnership with fellow Irish-based construction reality capture trailblazer, Evercam. Mercury's decision to implement Evercam's unique visibility software across all of their project sites has resulted in dramatically improved project delivery.

Using a single reality capture platform in the world of Mission-Critical construction is unusual, but in this case, Mercury's choice comes as no surprise. Evercam's technology, matched by peerless attention to data privacy, has established them as the standard for compliance, accuracy, and customer service, capable of supporting any project, from blueprints to blue-tape walk-through. Through frameworks like SOC2, ISO 27001, and strict attention to GDPRs, Evercam perpetually demonstrates their commitment to compliance by meeting regulatory requirements at local and national levels. Implementing Evercam across the board has given Mercury a measurable performance advantage in the competitive mission-critical sector.

Leading the deal are Jeff Deasy, Managing Director at Evercam, and Seamus Reilly, Operations Director for Mercury's Enterprise Data Centers business unit. The two Dublin-based professionals have been working together for a number of years.


“We’ve had a front-row seat to the level of excellence Mercury brings to every project,” said Jeff Deasy, Managing Director at Evercam. “This partnership reflects the momentum we’ve already built together on some of Europe’s most advanced construction projects. It’s about scaling what works and ensuring Mercury’s delivery teams have the visual tools and integrated data they need to enhance coordination, accelerate decision-making, and continue setting the standard for mission-critical construction.”


Recognising the potentially complementary relationship between Mercury and Evercam early on, Deasy and Reilly have been instrumental in communicating the value of this partnership to their respective companies, shepherding the Mercury-Evercam relationship to where it is today.

"We've seen firsthand how Evercam's platform improves project delivery, safety, and coordination at scale. This partnership reflects the momentum we've already built together on some of Europe's most advanced construction projects," says Reilly. "At Mercury, we're constantly looking for the latest and greatest technology to help us successfully deliver large-scale projects."

Mercury Engineering

Mercury is the European leader in construction solutions, building and managing complex engineering and construction projects for the world's foremost corporations. What began in 1972 as a small electrical contractor operating out of a Dublin apartment, Mercury has established itself as a European force for good, driving innovation on mission-critical construction projects in the spirit of founders Frank O'Kane and Joe Morgan.

Mercury became known for bringing economic growth to Ireland's economy by forging a path into new and innovative sectors. Today, Mercury continues to drive economic growth in communities across Europe through solutions that deliver necessary technologies and life-changing improvements.

In 2020, Mercury hit €1 billion in revenue, cementing its position as a leading construction solutions provider and establishing the company as one of the best places to work in Europe.

Evercam

Similar to Mercury's modest beginnings, Evercam was the brainchild of Wicklow native Marco Herbst. Observing the limitations of CCTV in the mid-aughts, Herbst began experimenting with recordings sparked by the simple idea that "this (his live-stream recording of the street outside his window) could be useful to someone." Joined by longtime business partner Vinnie Quinn, the pair soon realised the usefulness of visual data for the construction industry, where cameras were not yet being implemented for purposes beyond surveillance.

Herbst and Quinn had already seen one business success together when they sold their first venture, Nixers.com and Jobs.ie back in 2005. Fast forward to now, and the same furious pursuit of problem solving and fervent curiosity form the culture of their current business: the rapidly-growing international company, Evercam. What began as an idea about how cameras could aid construction is now a globally recognized reality-capture platform utilised on over 1200 live construction sites in more than 24 countries.

Expanding a High-Performance Partnership

This agreement deepens a collaboration that is already delivering tangible results across some of the most sophisticated projects in Europe. One example of these high-profile, multi-phase projects is Digital Realty's PAR10, part of the Paris Digital Park. The Paris campus consists of multiple data centers, totalling 130 MW of power and 40,000 square meters of whitespace. Like many global data centre projects, each data centre within the Paris Digital Park features advanced capabilities, including reliable power supply, efficient cooling, advanced monitoring systems, and high-density power racks with innovative free cooling technology.

Implementing Evercam on sites like these gives management teams the ability to remotely monitor the site anytime, anywhere. Project visuals are integrated into daily workflows with insights from live monitoring, drone views, and helmet-mounted 360 cams. The platform offers insights into weather, site deliveries and activities; as well as a unique Project Timeline feature that allows users to pull up any period within the life of the project and examine it closely, or compare it with any other date and time.

Mercury also takes advantage of Evercam's BIM integration faculty and time-lapse video production to enhance progress reporting and stakeholder engagement.

"Adopting a single, integrated solution across our sites allows us to work smarter and move faster - without compromising on compliance or quality," comments Reilly. "This partnership is key to our strategy, enabling us to lead the way in providing cutting-edge construction solutions to our valued clients."

The Total Package

Ultimately, Evercam has won the day by making the costly decision to record more frequently and save data more thoroughly than any of their competitors. Their eight-frame-per second live recording schedule drastically reduces ambiguity, and three levels of data backup eliminate the risk of lost footage. Clients frequently report that the constancy of Evercam's recording is one of the singular features that has protected these large firms from liability, loss, theft, and costly miscommunication.

In addition to these benefits, Mercury has secured this enterprise agreement as a way to package multiple services within one platform, reducing the overall price tag for visibility tools crucial to safety and daily operations that would otherwise be hired piecemeal.

Perhaps even more importantly, Mercury has avoided the cluster of headaches that arise from having privacy-protected data in different places. Evercam establishes one common data environment where Mercury can access any time to fluidly meet compliance and regulatory standards all over the world. Evercam meets European Union General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), and has archived similarly relevant attestations like SOC2 and ISO 27001.

To further support clients, Evercam has implemented practical visual AI use cases to their platform. Together, Mercury and Evercam developed and successfully piloted an AI-driven capability to ensure full PPE compliance across Mercury's projects. "We like Evercam's approach to technology development," says Reilly. "They listen to our needs and collaborate with us on product developments and roadmap."

From Boise Idaho to Saudi Arabia and regions beyond, Evercam stays abreast of their clients when it comes to compliance standards and data privacy. Together, category leaders Mercury and Evercam are building on an existing foundation to increase impact, improve workflows, and enhance project visibility on a global scale.

Faster, Safer, Smarter

The expanded partnership between Evercam and Mercury signals the winning flag for the rapidly scaling Irish company. In a little over a decade, Evercam has gone from a camera installation business to the reality capture partner on the largest construction projects in the world, adopted by dominant players in the Life Sciences, Semiconductor, and Data Centre spaces.

For Mercury, choosing to adopt Evercam on every site is a calculated move to gain an edge in a competitive global market by dramatically reducing risk and increasing efficiency. At a time when construction firms are under pressure to deliver faster, safer, and smarter, this collaboration demonstrates how necessary innovators are in the AEC world—and how legacy firms are increasingly turning to agile technology partners to stay ahead.

How Construction Cameras Tell Your Project’s Full Story

Up to 70% of construction delays are caused by poor site coordination and visibility.” - McKinsey Global Institute, Construction’s Digital Future

We’ve worked closely with contractors, developers, and project teams long enough to know that construction site visibility is about more than security. They’re a critical part of construction  management, creating a clear visual record that supports progress tracking, dispute resolution, safety oversight, and even marketing.

Why Camera Positioning and Field of View Matter

While camera specs matter, in construction, it’s the setup and field of view that define how useful your footage really is. Two identical jobsite cameras can tell completely different stories based on where they’re mounted and what they capture.

A poorly positioned camera might miss delivery zones, block views with fencing, or fail to show vertical progress. With the right construction camera setup, you can document:

  • Exactly when materials were delivered.
  • Whether safety railings were in place before an incident.
  • The full execution sequence for the as-built records.

We’ve seen sites with cameras fixed on the structure, capturing vertical progress well, but missing critical logistics zones like entrances or laydown areas. Adding a second camera facing the laydown and entrance area allowed them to resolve delivery disputes and capture better time-lapse for future bids.

How Site Visibility Supports Smarter Decisions

Getting the camera location and field of view right does more than record activity, it also gives your team better tools to manage the project.

Project Managers: A multi-camera setup helps track work areas, delivery flow, and crew activity. As one of our construction partners put it,  their setup was like “having eyes on every corner of the site without needing to be there.” These views also support BIM integration, making it easier to compare design and execution across different parts of the project.

On STT GDC Philippines, the ability to review footage from the right angles revealed a clear opportunity for improvement, something that would’ve gone unnoticed without proper visibility:

“After reviewing Evercam footage, we noticed key areas for improvement in crane assembly. The adjustments we made reduced the assembly time from seven days to three.” - Aaron Nnicklaus King, Project Manager, STT GDC Philippines

Safety Teams: Sometimes, the most useful visibility is outside the obvious areas. On a high-traffic site, a strategically placed side-view camera picked up near-misses at a pedestrian gate. That insight led to a redesign of the site’s access routes before anyone was hurt.

Marketing Teams: With the right field of view, you don’t lose valuable content. In a recent high-rise development, a camera was installed too low, cutting off the top of the building as it rose. Repositioning and adding a second construction time-lapse camera delivered crisp, stable time-lapse footage, which is perfect for stakeholder presentations and media use.

Getting the Construction Camera Setup Right

A great camera setup doesn’t just happen; it is planned. And that starts with smart decisions about construction camera placement and field of view.

Ask yourself:

  • Does the view show enough context and scale?
  • Will it stay clear and unobstructed as the project evolves?
  • Will it still be usable six months from now?
  • Does it align with your project goals: compliance, safety, marketing?

Wider views are especially useful early in a project, they give you flexibility to crop, reframe, or zoom as things take shape on site. But as the project evolves, so do your visibility needs. When structures start rising, entrances shift, or key work zones move, a single wide view often isn’t enough. That’s where combining multiple cameras, each with a clear purpose, makes the difference. One is to capture the site overview, another is focused on logistics zones, and another is on vertical progress.

That’s why we use a 110° field of view as standard. It’s wide enough to see the full story, but focused enough to keep the picture sharp.

When teams need even broader coverage, we often recommend placing a second camera at a different angle rather than relying on one ultra-wide view. That way, you get more clarity, more context, and fewer blind spots.

More coverage doesn’t mean one big view; it means the right views, from the right places, working together. That’s what we help you set up from day one.

How We Approach Construction Camera Visibility at Evercam

We’ve been on enough construction sites to know what works and what doesn’t. Our approach to jobsite camera placement and construction visibility follows four key principles:

  1. Start With the Why
    Whether you're documenting for compliance, safety, stakeholder updates, or public marketing, your objective defines the camera’s location and field of view.
  2. Plan for Phases
    A camera that works for the excavation phase may not work once the structure goes vertical. We help teams adjust and optimize throughout the project.
  3. Embrace Redundancy
    On busy sites, overlapping views aren’t overkill, they’re protection. If a crane or scaffold blocks one camera, another fills the gap.
  4. Capture the Human Side
    Construction is about building things and the people who build them. Our best footage includes the day-to-day action: crane lifts, crew coordination, and safe demolitions. These clips are useful for project success and help tell a better story.

Bringing It All Into View

Construction cameras have become an essential part of modern site management. But the value comes from having it see the right data, from the right place, with the right field of view. And because Evercam records everything, you’ve always got a complete visual record of your project, ready when you need it.

Let's talk if you're planning a project and want to get more from your visual documentation. We’re always happy to share what’s worked on similar sites or help you plan a smarter, more strategic camera setup for construction from day one.
