FAQs – Construction Time-Lapse Wales
What is construction time-lapse and how does it help a project?
Construction time-lapse uses a fixed camera to capture your build at set intervals, creating a clear visual record from start to finish. It’s useful for progress reporting, stakeholder updates, programme reviews and marketing.
How long can your time-lapse cameras stay on site?
Our systems are designed for long-term deployment and can remain on site for the full duration of a project—weeks or months—capturing consistent progress throughout.
Can we view progress remotely?
Yes. We provide an online portal with high-resolution images, and we can supply 4G-enabled systems where remote access is required for viewing and adjusting settings.
What deliverables do we receive?
Depending on your package, deliverables can include high-resolution portal images, milestone videos, monthly progress edits and a final completion film. Outputs are available in HD / 4K / 6K.
Are the cameras weatherproof for Welsh conditions?
Yes. Our time-lapse cameras are housed in robust, weather-sealed enclosures designed for year-round outdoor use—ideal for rain, wind and changing temperatures.
What is involved in installation on a live construction site?
We agree the best mounting position with your site team, complete any required inductions and install the system with minimal disruption. We also plan safe access for maintenance checks where needed.
Can you capture multiple angles or more than one camera location?
Yes. Larger schemes often use multiple cameras to cover different elevations, access routes or key work areas. We’ll recommend the best layout based on your site and reporting needs.
Can you produce monthly stakeholder updates and milestone edits?
Yes. We can create scheduled progress edits (monthly/quarterly) and milestone highlight videos to support client reporting, board updates and public communications.
Do you cover all of Wales?
Yes. We provide construction time-lapse services across Wales, including South Wales, West Wales and North Wales, subject to site access and programme requirements.

Send your site location, project duration, preferred camera positions and how often you want updates (monthly, milestones, end-of-project). We’ll recommend a package and provide a clear quotation.
If you tell me which Wales page it’s for (e.g., “South Wales” vs “Wales-wide”) and your main target keyword, I’ll tweak the headings and wording to match perfectly.
