iMaster-DocuCam Construction Logbook
Monitor work on the construction site, document it automatically and steer it effectively.
Would you like support in the documentation of the construction progress, in the organisation of processes and in the clarification of damage claims? Would you like to have an overview of the situation on site at any time without having to be physically present? Do you have to manage several construction sites at the same time and coordinate a large number of subcontractors? Then, our iMaster-DocuCam construction logbook is the right for you.
Our construction logbook was developed together with the architects of b@ugil.de. The aim of the project was to be able to control the work on the construction site more effectively via a web browser, to observe it visually and to document it automatically. After a single on-site commissioning, high-resolution GigaPixel images of the construction site are created regularly (e.g., every 30 minutes) and fully automatically. With an active Internet connection, the images are available to the user almost in real time. Via a web browser it is possible to access the data, to analyze the data, to create time lapse images and to add individual notes to specific images or image sequences – independent of time and location.
The synchronous recording of the weather conditions (temperature, humidity and precipitation) on-site enables you to prove the proper work execution in the event of a later claim.

The building blocks of the iMaster-DocuCam construction logbook
Our iMaster-DocuCam construction logbook consists of two main components: the DocuCam hardware module and the iMaster-DocuCam software. In its basic version, the hardware module consists of a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, a Mini-PC and a local weather station, and can optionally be extended by a LTE/3G/4G connection and/or a solar module. The iMaster DocuCam software is installed on the Mini-PC and ensures that the data is automatically collected, stored and managed.
Application
The hardware module is installed with a view to the area to be observed (i.e., the construction site). At user-defined time intervals, the camera scans the entire area to be observed at different optical zoom levels, takes high-resolution GigaPixel images and simultaneously collects temperature, precipitation and humidity via the local weather station. The data is stored with the corresponding time stamp in a central database. The Mini-PC is connected to the Internet either via a Wifi on site or via a LTE/3G/4G router and thus, makes the collected data available to the user directly and in real time via a web-based user interface.
The user can view the individual recordings of the construction site both in panorama and in detail with the associated weather data. In addition, the software enables manual and automated creation of time lapse recordings – over any length of time, with any number of points in time. In addition, it is possible for the user to insert individual notes, which can be positioned anywhere in the image and faded in and out as required. A note can be assigned both to individual images and to entire time lapse recording.
What do our customers say?
“With the iMaster construction logbook, we have a complete overview of the entire construction site at any time […] both in the panorama and in detail. Our craftsmen use this to be able to deliver on time and as required in consultation with us. The history function helped us to clear up theft and damage. Particularly useful and cost-saving were the weather records, which gave us the certainty in the event of damage. There was definitely no frost during the period of concern. For the client, the project is handled transparently and he can show the current construction progress to his customers on his website”.
