TIME LAPSE CAMERA SYSTEMS
Our construction time-lapse systems are designed for real building sites, not studio conditions. Cameras can be deployed using solar power or battery options (setup dependent), which makes them ideal for locations where mains power isn’t practical.
Each unit is housed in an IP66-rated enclosure, providing robust protection against rain, dust and harsh weather—so it can stay on site for the full duration of your programme. That reliability means you get a continuous visual record, capturing the key phases of the build and the milestones that matter from start to finish.
Footage can be supplied in HD, 4K or 6K depending on your requirements, with image sets organised so teams can quickly review progress. Where specified, 4G-enabled systems provide remote access for viewing and basic setting changes, helping you keep oversight without unnecessary site visits.
COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
In Plymouth, we support construction teams of every size—principal contractors, regional builders, specialist subcontractors and civil engineering consultants—with professional site imagery that presents your work clearly and consistently.
Our photography and visual capture is commissioned with a purpose: to strengthen tender submissions, improve brochures and websites, and build a reliable library of content for ongoing marketing.
If you need dependable documentation from mobilisation to completion, we can plan structured site visits, capture repeatable viewpoints at agreed milestones, and deliver a consistent set of visuals that show progress, quality and key site details without getting in the way of operations.
Get in touch with your Plymouth site location and programme dates, and we’ll recommend the most effective approach, timescales and deliverables.
DRONE FILMING CONSTRUCTION SITES
Whether you’re a principal contractor, developer or project team that needs clear, consistent site visuals, we can provide a professional UAV drone crew to support your build and keep stakeholders informed.
From scheduled progress flights and milestone capture through to handover documentation, asset visuals and stakeholder updates, we help you show the right information at the right time. Our approach is designed for live construction environments—planned around site activity, with controlled operating areas and efficient capture to minimise disruption while maintaining safe, compliant operations.
If you’re planning a project and want guidance on the most effective capture method, we can advise on the best mix for your objectives, including fixed viewpoints, monthly progress packs, inspection imagery for specific structures, or a combined drone + time-lapse package for a complete visual record.

Construction Time-Lapse Plymouth – FAQs
How quickly can you set up a time-lapse camera on a Plymouth site?
In many cases we can arrange installation quickly once we know your site location, programme dates and the viewpoint you need. We’ll confirm lead-in time based on access, permits and any site induction requirements.
Do you help choose the best camera position for the build?
Yes. We’ll recommend a viewpoint that shows the work clearly (work fronts, logistics and key interfaces) while keeping installation safe and practical. The aim is a consistent “story” of the project, not just a random angle.
What happens if the weather turns rough on the Plymouth waterfront?
Our systems are built for long deployments in exposed conditions, and we plan installations with local weather in mind—especially near coastal areas. We’ll advise on mounting, protection and capture intervals to keep the record consistent through seasonal changes.
Can we use the imagery for stakeholder updates and social media as well as reporting?
Definitely. You can use the images for monthly reports, client updates and internal comms, and we can also provide a short highlight sequence if you want something presentation-ready .
What do we actually receive during the project?
You’ll get organised outputs that are easy to use—typically date-stamped image sets and a structured archive. If you want a simple routine (weekly/monthly) we can align delivery to your reporting cycle so it’s ready when your update meetings happen.
