Construction

Built for construction reality.

Construction moves fast. Crews change. Plant moves. Conditions evolve. Background understands construction reality continuously — connecting what is happening on site to the documents, programmes and contracts that define what should be happening.

The problem

Construction is hard to manage from a distance.

The further a decision-maker is from the workface, the more dependent they become on filtered information. By the time a safety pattern, a delivery constraint or a commercial risk reaches the people with authority to act on it, the window to influence the outcome has often already closed.

Safety exposure
People and plant working in close proximity. Exclusion zones. Supervision gaps. Control measures that drift from what the RAMS requires. Background recognises these patterns before they become incidents.
Delivery pressure
Crews short. Cycle times extending. Float compressing. The signals are there — in the cameras, in the programme, in the workforce data. Background connects them and delivers the picture before it becomes a problem.
Subcontractor visibility
Main contractors are responsible for what subcontractors do on their sites. Background gives main contractors visibility of subcontractor workfaces without requiring subcontractors to self-report.
Evidence when it matters
Disputes. Variations. Incidents. When something goes wrong, Background has already recorded what happened, when, what was in place and what was done about it. A complete, immutable audit trail.

How Background helps

Understanding construction reality — continuously.

01
Safety intelligence
Exclusion zone exposure, supervision coverage, people-plant interface risk — recognised from camera feeds and RAMS simultaneously. Safety Managers receive intelligence grounded in the controls they wrote.
02
Delivery intelligence
Activity momentum, crew productivity, workface constraints — connected to the programme in real time. Construction Managers know what is slowing the project before it shows in a weekly report.
03
Commercial intelligence
Programme drift, contractual obligations, variation patterns — Background connects site observations to commercial consequences. Commercial Managers act before obligations expire.
04
Subcontractor intelligence
Background operates across contractor boundaries. Subcontractors receive understanding relevant to their workface. Main contractors receive the picture across all packages simultaneously.
05
Intervention tracking
Every intervention created in Background is assigned, tracked and linked to the evidence that triggered it. Completion is confirmed. Effectiveness is observed. The loop closes.
06
Evidence on demand
Ask CompoundLM™ anything about the project. What happened at Zone Z-003 last week. What the programme looked like when the variation was raised. What interventions were in place when the incident occurred.

Who it serves

Every role. Every function. One platform.

Background serves every function on a construction project — each receiving understanding framed for their role, their responsibilities and their decisions.

Delivery team
Project Directors, Construction Managers, Planners and Foremen receive programme intelligence, activity momentum and constraint identification — in time to act.
Delivery team →
SHEQ
Safety, Health, Environment and Quality Managers receive intelligence grounded in the RAMS, permits and standards that define what good looks like on their project.
SHEQ →
Commercial
Commercial Managers receive programme drift connected to contractual obligations, Early Warning windows and variation patterns — before the window to act closes.
Commercial →
Subcontractors
Subcontractor teams receive workface intelligence — constraints, safety exposure, delivery pressure — framed for the decisions they can make and the outcomes they are responsible for.
Subcontractors →

For construction

Find the signal. Connect the context. Direct attention.

Construction generates enormous amounts of data. Most of it is noise. Background finds the signal — the observation that matters, connected to the context that makes it meaningful, delivered to the person best placed to act on it.

Walk through a real scenario from first observation to closed loop outcome. Real site. Real RAMS. Real programme. Real intelligence.

Book a demo How it works
Arrives ready to deploy
Background arrives with capabilities built in. Load the RAMS, the programme and the contract — and Background understands your project from day one.
Works with existing cameras
Background works with cameras already on site. SiteRecorder™ captures from whatever sources exist — HFR cameras, fixed CCTV, mobile units.
No behaviour change required
Background works in the background. Site teams do not need to change how they work. Intelligence is delivered to the people who need it — without adding to anyone's workload.
