Construction & Development

From hoarding to handover.

Sites, teams, progress and milestones — for contractors, developers, housebuilders and the consultants working alongside them.

Site photography has to fit round the job, not stop it. Inductions, PPE, access and exclusion zones are agreed before the day, and I work to whatever the site rules say about who and what can appear in shot.

Progress sets shot at intervals give you a record worth having at the end. The tender document, the case study, the topping-out release and the handover brochure all come out of the same run of visits.
