Construction Progress Photography & Virtual Tours.

A dated, organized record of the build — photography, aerials and measured 3D scans, on whatever schedule the project runs. From $295 a visit, formatted to attach to draw requests and pay applications.

The record

Documentation on the draw schedule.

Photography and 360 tours on a schedule that matches the draw calendar.

  • Dated, organized photo sets per visit
  • The same positions, visit after visit
  • 360 tours before it's closed up
  • Drone documentation of the site
  • Dated, geotagged image sets formatted to support draw requests and pay applications
  • Documentation-grade as-built scans available — reference measurements, not a survey
One build, on the record

The same project the tour below walks through.

Site, shell, rough-ins, systems, finish — one structure documented through the build. The conduit and ductwork frames are the ones that matter in year five.

This is a real tour from a real project — drag to look around, tap the floor to move. On a phone, it follows the phone.

Why builds get documented

The record earns its keep three ways.

01

Draws move on proof

Lenders release construction draws against evidence of work in place. Dated, organized photo sets from the same positions every visit make that evidence — no site walk required to approve the next release.

02

A record of what’s behind the walls

Rough-ins photographed and 360-scanned before drywall closes them up. When a dispute, a warranty question or a renovation comes years later, you know exactly what runs where — and can prove when it was in place.

03

Fewer site visits for everyone

Owners, architects and investors walk the current state remotely instead of driving out — questions get answered with frames and tours, not another meeting on site.

What the record is worth

Evidence first. Photos second.

01

Disputes run long and expensive

North American construction dispute values rose 42% in a single recent year, with resolutions averaging over fourteen months — and the most common root cause is incomplete or unsubstantiated documentation.

02

Insurers have measured it

One insurer’s analysis found roughly 40% fewer claims among builders who keep a consistent visual record of their sites. A dated, organized photo log is what claims teams ask for first after a loss.

03

Backcharges die on dated photos

Work photographed before it was covered is the accepted standard of proof. If it wasn’t documented, it didn’t happen — in the room where that argument costs real money.

Visits meet Division 01 photographic-documentation specs (CSI 013233): monthly coverage timed to your pay-application cutoff, repeated vantage points, high-resolution digital delivery. And it works alongside your jobsite camera — cameras don’t do interiors, details, or the drone pass.

What it costs

Priced as a program. Booked one visit at a time.

Visits and scans are counted separately — document weekly and scan twice, or any other combination. Below: a 10,000 sq ft build with eight documented visits and two LiDAR scans.

Every visit — ×8 on this example
$2,340Photo Documentation ≈ $295 a visit — interior and exterior, same positions every time, timestamped and geotagged for draw requests
$3,385Photos & Aerial ≈ $425 a visit — adds the site and roof from fixed GPS positions
Key stages — ×2 scans, not per visit
$2,150LiDAR 3D Scans ≈ $1,075 a scan — a walkable, measured 3D model at pre-drywall and final. Counted separately from visits: document weekly, scan twice.
Both together The Works — $4,980 Eight documented visits, aerials on each, and two LiDAR scans at the stages that matter — 10% off the combined program, plus 50% off the finished building’s marketing shoot.

Committed schedules of four visits or more take 10% off every visit. However the build runs — weekly through a fast one, or three visits across two years.

Questions

Asked before every build.

How much does construction progress photography cost?

It is priced as a program: the finished size of the build, how many visits, and how many 3D scans. A 10,000 sq ft build documented across eight visits is $2,340 for photo documentation, $3,385 with an aerial pass each visit, and $4,980 for the full program including LiDAR scans. That works out around $295 a visit at the entry level.

How often should the site be photographed?

However the build runs. Weekly through a fast commercial job, monthly against the draw schedule, or three visits across a two-year project — you set the number and we put the dates on the calendar together.

Does the documentation meet Division 01 photographic-documentation specs?

Yes. Visits meet CSI 013233 requirements: monthly coverage timed to your pay-application cutoff, repeated vantage points, and high-resolution digital delivery, which is what the spec asks a contractor to provide.

Can the photos be used for a draw request or pay application?

That is what they are formatted for. Every image is timestamped and geotagged and delivered organized by visit, so it attaches directly to a draw package alongside the schedule of values.

What is a LiDAR scan actually giving me?

A walkable, measured 3D model of the site — dollhouse and floor-plan views you can move through. Scanned before drywall, it keeps framing, conduit and ductwork reviewable after they are covered. The measurements are documentation-grade for checking against the plans; they are not a survey and are not certified.

Do you photograph the finished building too?

Yes, and it is discounted for anyone who documented the build. Programs of eight or more visits and The Works include 50% off the finished building's marketing shoot — the record and the marketing from the same photographer.

Can you work around an active jobsite and its safety requirements?

Yes. Tell us about badging, escorts, hard-hat and vest requirements, or a certificate of insurance when you book — those are asked in the booking form so the first visit starts on time.
