EVERYBODY wants to keep ‘EYES’ on their jobsite.  Who’s entering, and when?  Has my material arrived?  Are all of the crews on site?  When did the last person leave at the end of the workday?  Was the main gate closed?  Anyone there on the weekend?  When did that delivery occur?  There are a lot of questions that might need answering, and you may not have been there when they happened.  And, of course, you always want to know if someone is visiting when the site is not active.We can help with ...
