Timescapes provides a construction project reality capture platform combining rugged, solar-powered cameras with analytics software to deliver real-time visibility of construction progress. Founded in 2017, the company serves over 100 construction companies across more than 400 projects globally, with operations in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United States.
The platform addresses two persistent challenges in construction: the lack of reliable progress documentation and disputes over project claims. By capturing continuous visual records from site-deployed hardware, Timescapes generates irrefutable evidence of work completed and timeline progression. This documentation has helped projects avoid potential claims - one sewage plant upgrade case identified $400,000 in avoided disputes - and has uncovered billing discrepancies, including $370,000 in subcontractor overcharges across projects.
The core offering combines purpose-built, solar-powered cameras designed for rugged construction environments with a dashboard that processes video analytics to track project status. The system is engineered to operate independently on site, eliminating reliance on traditional surveillance infrastructure or manual documentation methods.
