The Challenge
Quick-service restaurant construction projects are inherently fast-paced and deadline-driven, requiring precise coordination and tight oversight to meet demanding schedules. For the Great Lakes Bay Construction team, managing remote jobsites, staying informed about progress, and addressing issues promptly posed a challenge. Safety monitoring, accurate reporting, and effective client communication added further complexity to these builds, especially with locations spread out and far from the office.
TrueLook Solution
After researching options and receiving a recommendation from a trusted partner, the team decided to purchase TrueLook Cameras for their jobsites. They talked with a TrueLook rep who helped them choose a Fixed 4K IR camera which comes with remote live viewing, intelligent security, and time-lapse capabilities. This would give them the reliability and coverage they need for their fast-paced, schedule-driven work, and also work well for a small interior build. The decision to invest in TrueLook proved to be a critical step in improving site management and overall efficiency.
"The cameras have been great. We quickly went from one to six. They’re definitely expensive, but we are hoping they pay for themselves in convenience—and I think that is happening."

The Results
The TrueLook Fixed 4K IR Cameras and platform have been a valuable investment for the Great Lakes Bay Construction team, delivering key improvements to their quick-service restaurant projects.
The live viewing feature played a critical role, enabling the team to monitor remote jobsites in real time and reduce on-site visits. This capability allowed them to track project progress, address safety concerns, and meet the tight schedules required for quick-service builds.
The monitoring capabilities helped the VP uncover an employee misreporting time, saving the company in unnecessary labor costs.
The cameras also provided security benefits, helping the team proactively address risks and maintain safer jobsites. The added oversight contributed to fewer delays and more efficient workflows.
With dependable support from TrueLook’s team, GLBC was able to quickly set up cameras and troubleshoot occasional issues, minimizing downtime and keeping projects on track. This reliability has allowed them to complete quick-service restaurants faster, improving communication with stakeholders and meeting deadlines.
Impressed by the results, the team expanded their use of TrueLook Cameras from one to five units across multiple projects. This rapid adoption demonstrates the measurable impact the platform has had, making TrueLook an essential part of the team’s operations.
