Photo documentation of the whole build, without anyone photographing anything
Complete site documentation fails for a boring reason: it depends on busy people remembering. A fixed camera does not have that problem.
Why manual photo documentation falls apart
Every contractor has a policy about photographing the works. Almost nobody has a complete set. The photos exist, but they are on four phones, in three messaging threads and one shared drive that nobody has tidied since the foundations.
The gaps are rarely random either. They cluster around the busy weeks — the same weeks that later turn out to be the ones in dispute.
Documentation that depends on someone deciding to take a picture will always be incomplete. Documentation that happens on a schedule will not.
What continuous documentation looks like
A weatherproof 4K camera is mounted on the site and photographs it every ten minutes, from groundwork to handover. It works without site internet, so there is no site network to arrange and nothing for anyone to operate.
Each photo uploads automatically to encrypted EU cloud storage and is filed onto an interactive project timeline. You wind the timeline to a date and an hour and see the site as it was then.
The result is a record nobody had to remember to make: not the moments somebody chose to photograph, but the whole period, at ten-minute intervals.
- 4K photo every 10 minutes, day after day
- Automatic upload — no memory cards, no manual filing
- Timeline navigation by date and hour
- Full-resolution originals, downloadable for any period
Beyond the fixed camera
A fixed camera holds one angle very well, which is exactly what makes comparisons reliable. What it cannot see is filled in by drone photo sessions, which are filed into the same project.
Drone photo sessions are flown on agreed dates and pinned to the timeline, covering the full site footprint from above — the roof, the stockpiles and the access routes a fixed frame cannot reach.
Both formats live in one project, under one set of access rules — camera photos and drone photos download from that project as separate archives.
Getting the record back out
Documentation is only worth having if you can produce it on demand. Download a photo archive for any period you like — a single day for a meeting, a month for a progress report, the whole contract for the project file.
For people who should see it but do not need an account, a share link opens a read-only view of the whole project in a browser, with an optional password. And the latest site photo can go on your own website with a ready embed snippet.
Site photography is kept for 30 days after the contract ends. Download the full archive before that window closes and the project record is yours to keep for as long as you need it.

Get in touchConstruction site diary
Your written diary records what people say happened. A camera records what the site looked like while they were saying it. Put them side by side and the diary becomes checkable.

Delay claims, variations and defect allegations tend to turn on what the site looked like on a particular day. That question is much easier to answer if somebody was already photographing it.
Learn moreDrone site documentation
A fixed camera sees one angle very well. A drone sees the whole footprint. Together they give you the site from the outside in — filed on one timeline, not in two unrelated folders.
