Did Rain Spoil Your Pour?
From the Overheard Department.
Recently I was in the waiting area of a client’s office just outside their conference room. A big meeting as going on with lots of folks and loud voices. The gist of the discussion had to do with the project being behind schedule and who was responsible. In a perfect Texas drawl I could hear, “But it rained for three days!”
The room fell silent. Rarely does an opportunity fall into you hands like this. One of the key benfits of using a construction webcam is dispute resolution. The reason the room went silent is because nobody could remember if it had rained those days or not. With the image archive they could have pulled up the dates in question and put the issue to bed.
Dispute resolution isn’t the only thing the image archive is good for. Was the backhoe idle for a week? When was the scaffolding taken down? I want to email an image of the topper ceremony. These are all good examples.
And yes, the client did order a camera.
