CAMCORDER TECHNIQUE
Data collection is a major task, especially on a large construction project.
Conventional methods involve employing several observers and are usually
time consuming. A video camera, being a more accurate and superior data
collection method, can take the place of several observers because it captures
all concurrent activities. The camcorder technique involves several steps:
selection of video equipment, preplanning for the taping process, conducting
brainstorming sessions, analysis of recorded data, and development of final
recommendations. Each of these steps is briefly described herein.
