Construction Documentation
Monthly progress photography, aerial site documentation, and milestone imaging for contractors, developers, and the AEC community across the Southeast.
Start a ProjectMore than a record — a resource.
Construction documentation photography serves a different purpose than portfolio work. It needs to be accurate, consistent, and delivered on a schedule that matches your project timeline. Whether you need monthly progress shots to keep stakeholders informed, aerial overviews for permitting and planning, or a milestone series for your marketing team, we build a documentation workflow around your project — not the other way around.
We work across the Southeast, serving general contractors, commercial developers, healthcare construction managers, and architecture firms. Projects range from ground-up commercial buildings and mixed-use developments to healthcare facility expansions and multi-phase residential communities.
Gateway Charleston — 14 months documented.
Bi-weekly aerial progress visits from groundbreaking through completion. Every phase on record — exactly as it happened.
Coverage for every phase of the build.
Flexible scheduling and consistent delivery from groundbreaking through ribbon-cutting.
Monthly Progress Photography
Scheduled site visits at agreed intervals — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Consistent framing and delivery so progress is easy to compare across phases.
Aerial Site Documentation
FAA-certified drone photography and video capturing site layout, grading, framing, and phased construction from above. Essential for large sites, tight schedules, and remote stakeholders.
Milestone & Phase Imaging
Key moments captured in full — foundations poured, steel erected, envelope closed, interior finishes complete. Milestone shoots work standalone or as part of a longer series.
Dispute & Claims Documentation
Detailed, timestamped photography of site conditions, materials, and workmanship to support RFIs, change orders, and claims resolution.
Marketing & Pre-Leasing Assets
Progress imagery curated for project marketing — investor updates, pre-leasing campaigns, community announcements, and press releases.
Completion & Portfolio Photography
Final-phase architectural photography once construction is complete. Full interior and exterior coverage — the finished project documented the way it deserves to be seen.
Built for the teams that build.
From preconstruction through occupancy, we serve every discipline with a stake in how the project looks on paper and in the field.
General Contractors
Progress documentation for owner reporting, subcontractor coordination, and internal project records. Delivered on your schedule, not ours.
Developers & Owners
Investor updates, pre-leasing imagery, and stakeholder communications that keep your project visible and your capital partners informed.
Architects & Engineers
Construction administration documentation, RFI support, and a photographic record you can use for award submissions once the project is complete.
Healthcare & Institutional
Expansion and renovation documentation for hospital systems, medical campuses, and institutional clients with phased occupancy requirements.
How it works.
We review your project timeline, site access requirements, and deliverable needs. Documentation packages are structured around your schedule — retainer-based or per-visit.
We arrive on schedule, clear safety orientation, and capture the full agreed scope — ground-level, structural details, aerial overviews, or all of the above.
Edited, timestamped images delivered within 48 hours via a private online gallery. Full-resolution downloads included. Repeat visits match consistent framing from prior phases.
When construction is complete, the full documentation archive is available in one organized download. Final architectural photography can be added at close of any project.
Let’s document your next project.
Construction documentation works best when it starts at groundbreaking — but we can join a project at any phase. Reach out to discuss your site, timeline, and deliverables.
