Why Hines Chose Evercam for Project Management

Hines has successfully completed the TC1 Cherrywood project, part of the larger Cherrywood urban development in South Dublin's Strategic Development Zone (SDZ). The project involves the construction of 317 LEED-standard residential units, including a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. It also includes ground-floor retail spaces, private communal areas, and a rooftop terrace, covering a total area of 30,000 square meters.

Evercam’s Contribution to Sustainable Urban Design

Sustainability was central to the Cherrywood development, which was designed to meet both WELL and BREEAM standards. Hines chose to partner with Evercam to monitor progress and the implementation of energy-efficient buildings, and resource management, to minimize waste, rework and to ensure achievement of their sustainability goals.

The Importance of Construction Cameras in Cherrywood`s Project Management

Given the complexity of this project, maintaining real-time visibility and effective remote project management was a priority. Evercam’s construction cameras proved essential in providing real-time sitemonitoring and documentation and ensuring all project stakeholders were kept up-to-date. Managing the construction of a project of this scale presented several challenges. These included coordinating multiple contractors, ensuring adherence to sustainability standards, and maintaining project timelines. The Hines team felt that partnering with Evercam would provide their project with the necessary visibility into the site’s daily activities.

• Time-Lapse Pro: Each month, Evercam delivered professionally edited time-lapse videos of the Cherrywood project in 4K resolution. These videos provided a clear and engaging visual narrative of its progress. This was invaluable for documenting milestones and keeping project stakeholders informed. The time-lapse videosalso provided ready-to-use content for social media and marketing campaigns, making it easy to showcase the project’s progress.

• Live View: Evercam’s Live View feature supplied Hines and its stakeholders with real-time visibility into the site’s construction activities. This continuous transparency improved collaboration, informed decision-making, and enabled more efficient project management. With immediate access to live footage, the Hines team could promptly address issues and monitor progress. This ensured that the project adhered to the established timeline and budget.
