Spotlight on Evercam: The Eyes, Insight and Edge of the Modern Site

If you’ve been anywhere near a major build in Dublin over the last few years, chances are Evercam has had its lens on it.

From crane lifts at data centres to progress tracking on housing schemes, this Irish company has quietly become one of the most important players in modern construction - not by laying bricks, but by showing everyone exactly what’s happening on-site.

And in an industry where delay equals cost, clarity is everything.

 

Built for Construction, Not Just Cameras

Founded in 2010 by Marco Herbst and Vinnie Quinn, Evercam started life in the world of security, but pivoted hard into construction, and never looked back. Their tech now supports some of the most high-profile builds in Ireland and the UK, working with firms like SISK, BAM, Bennett and Stewart on projects for Google, Facebook, ESB and the Central Bank.

But this isn’t just about slick marketing footage. It’s about site management, accountability, and delivering projects properly.

“Construction is a high value activity, so when things go wrong, it’s expensive. We’ve become that single source of truth.”

 – Marco Herbst, CEO

 

Real-Time Clarity in a World of Complexity

Construction sites are noisy, busy, and chaotic. Evercam turns them into data-driven environments. Their cameras now use AI and machine learning to track truck deliveries, monitor crane usage, count on-site headcount, and send automated progress reports.

This isn’t future-tech: This is happening now, in Ireland.

For PMs, QSs and engineers, that means fewer disputes, faster reporting, and better decisions. For site leads and contractors, it means fewer phone calls chasing updates and fewer questions about what happened (and when).

And for jobseekers? It means working on sites where information flows properly, progress is tracked, and accountability is backed by evidence.

 

Why It Matters to You

Whether you’re a site engineer, a foreperson, a BIM manager or a commercial lead , the rise of companies like Evercam marks a shift. The best construction firms are harnessing real-time data to improve how they build.

That means:

• Better communication between teams

• More predictable project timelines

• Clearer roles and responsibilities

• Less finger-pointing when things go wrong
  
  

As more Irish projects adopt this tech, it’ll become a standard part of site life and workers who understand it, use it, or embrace it will be more valuable than ever.

 

Looking Ahead

Evercam isn’t standing still. According to the team, they’re expanding into New Zealand, Singapore and the US, rolling out features like Snapmail (photo updates sent straight to your inbox) and before and after comparison tools to help teams spot issues before they spiral.

With Enterprise Ireland backing their R&D, they’re proving that Irish innovation can lead the way globally, not just in the boardroom, but right there on the scaffold.

In a sector where every delay costs and every misstep matters, Evercam is helping teams deliver with fewer surprises and more confidence. That’s good news for everyone - from junior operatives to senior project managers.
