Jobsite Intelligence Solutions: Remote Construction Monitoring in 2025

Today’s construction jobsites are more complex than ever. Contractors and project managers face a landslide of challenges, including tighter project timelines, rising labor shortages, the need for greater safety and oversight, and ballooning material costs. With so many moving parts and increasingly lean teams, 24/7 visibility and informed, real-time decision-making have never been more critical.

That’s where jobsite intelligence solutions play an important role. By capturing visual data from jobsites and turning those data points into insights that drive immediate action, these platforms help contractors boost visibility, minimize safety risks, and optimize performance.

Deploying any new technology for the jobsite is no small feat. With jobsite intelligence tools, the key is to evaluate systems based on the features that deliver real value. Let’s break down each of these key features and why they’re critical to building a smarter, safer jobsite.

Seamless Remote Construction Monitoring: Your Eyes on the Site, 24/7

The construction industry continues to face a major labor and skills gap. It’s estimated that the industry will need to bring in 454,000 new workers on top of normal hiring to meet industry demand this year alone. On top of that, over 80% of companies in 2024 reported difficulty hiring superintendents, project managers, and supervisors. This means less oversight for projects as managers split their time across multiple sites to keep up with the demands of this labor shortage.

Enabling remote visibility and intelligent data analysis has become a necessity. Jobsite monitoring software powered by connected cameras positioned across the jobsite gives superintendents, project managers, and supervisors a way to monitor site progress, verify incidents, and stay aligned with owners and office teams without always being onsite.

A robust remote construction monitoring solution goes beyond simple visibility. It provides project managers with the tools they need to effectively manage their projects from anywhere. This includes:

• Subcontractor Productivity Tracking: Verify work completed for payment applications and ensure that subcontractors are on schedule.
• Construction Dispute Resolution: A time-stamped, visual record of the jobsite provides the definitive proof needed to resolve disputes quickly and fairly.
• Construction Client Update Portal: Share progress with stakeholders through a secure, easy-to-use portal, enhancing communication and transparency.

Intelligent Data Analysis

Managing a modern jobsite means dealing with massive amounts of visual data. Without the right tools, it’s easy for critical safety or security events to get buried in hours of footage. Intelligent data analysis changes this dynamic by helping project teams manage safer, more secure jobsites with real-time insights.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the construction industry, and jobsite intelligence solutions are at the forefront of this revolution. Look for a solution that offers:

• Construction PPE Detection: AI-powered cameras can automatically detect if workers are wearing the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), helping to enforce safety protocols and prevent accidents.
• Automated Daily Reports: AI can analyze jobsite activity and automatically generate daily reports, saving project managers hours of manual work.
• Reality Capture Software: AI-powered search allows you to instantly find specific events or objects within your jobsite imagery, making it easy to locate equipment, track deliveries, or investigate incidents.

With these capabilities, jobsite teams can reduce the time it takes to review footage, improve safety outcomes, and ensure comprehensive incident documentation with less manual effort, identifying the events that matter most to the jobsite with speed and accuracy like never before.

Secure & Streamlined Integration

Jobsite intelligence solutions that integrate directly into existing construction project management software, like Procore and Autodesk, can help contractors consolidate project workflows and maximize solution capabilities.

Cybersecurity is another critical component of a successful deployment. Housing visual data, jobsite intelligence solutions can be an attack surface for bad actors. It’s best to look for a solution with critical security features like SOC 2 compliance and SSO capabilities.

Scalability, Flexibility & Support

As construction site costs continue to rise, it’s no surprise that contractors are prioritizing ROI. The ideal solution should scale with your project needs – whether they’re short-term projects or multi-year infrastructure builds. It’s also important to have the flexibility to add more cameras to the site as needs evolve upon the start of the project. Working with a technology partner who offers continuous support throughout the product lifecycle helps ensure continued success. From helping you identify the right solution for your jobsites to ensuring continuous uptime and support for future upgrades as technology needs evolve, contractors can deploy with confidence.

Embracing Jobsite Data for Informed Decision-making

Today’s construction jobsites face unprecedented challenges, from tight timelines and rising costs to labor shortages and greater safety risks. Jobsite intelligence has emerged as a critical tool that empowers contractors to respond faster, work smarter, and maintain full visibility across every phase of the build.

Implementing solutions that prioritize seamless remote monitoring, intelligent data analysis, ease of deployment, scalability and comprehensive support options will help contractors see the most ROI and benefit from faster, more informed decision making.
