How do you engage your stakeholders and keep control of a site when you have lots of projects running simultaneously? How do you capture information from construction projects for PR purposes, to build expertise and create a visual knowledge database?
When several projects run simultaneously, there is a strong need for overview and targeted communication in order to reach the different stakeholders.
Scholen van Morgen is a public-private partnership between Flanders on the one hand and AG Real Estate (as delegated builder, financier and shareholder) and BNP Paribas Fortis (as financier and shareholder) on the other. Since 2016, the program designs, builds, finances and maintains 182 educational institutions in Flanders. A transversal approach, knowledge sharing and clustering are central to this.
With the help of the C-SITE images, an overview could be kept and a feel for the sites was possible for the entire team. It was also easy for non-technical parties to follow the progress of the projects using photos and timelapses.
See in the video how the close cooperation between Scholen van Morgen and C-SITE took place.
The Schools Of Tomorrow project won national and international awards. Read more about it in this article. So we at C-SITE are justifiably proud that we were allowed to capture the construction of all 182 schools with our timelapse cameras.
Philippe Monserez, Chief Design & Build and Innovation Officer at AG Real Estate, tells La Libre how the collaboration came about: at the kitchen table of our founder Tim Schokkaert. An excerpt:
Working with start-ups pays off because of their innovative nature. They have a different mindset than large companies. They are more agile and creative. It is different from innovating internally within a traditional structure. They are two different worlds. (...) We had 182 construction sites that needed to be monitored at the same time! I came to them with an IT need. The first meeting took place in the IT guy's kitchen. The second, in the dining room. It was a bit like Steve Jobs.... Then they developed a pilot, and today their product is internationally approved!

"Always a pleasure working with C-SITE to capture our logistics projects on film."
"Monitoring the progress of several construction sites simultaneously, recording specific milestones and promoting individual projects among internal and external stakeholders, that is the added value that C-site offers you on a daily basis in a systematic and structured way with maximum flexibility!"
"With C-SITE we have a clear overview of our various logistics construction projects in Europe. The web application is easy to use and allows us to communicate with colleagues in other countries in a simple way. The photos and timelapses are of high quality, so we can also use the images to support our marketing."
"We enjoyed the course of the project in Ertvelde and are happy with the result. We found your organization, the platform and hardware used all to be very good. We are happy customers."
