For large, long-running works

Civil engineering projects often run over several years and cover large areas. A fixed timelapse camera captures the whole development, from excavation and foundations to the finished structure, in one continuous story.

The material is valuable for reporting to the client and the public, for communicating milestones and for documenting execution throughout the project’s lifetime.

What’s included

  • Camera, installation and removal
  • Secure local storage on the camera
  • Operation and ongoing support
  • Finished timelapse on completion

Everything the documentation needs

One partner for camera, installation, operation, storage and finished timelapse.

  • Construction Timelapse

    Document the entire build from groundbreaking to handover with sharp, professional high-resolution timelapse footage.

  • Camera Installation

    We plan the best angles and mount rugged, weatherproof equipment securely on site. During the build the camera can be repositioned so the finished film captures the project from several perspectives.

  • Secure Local Storage

    By default all footage is stored locally on the camera, with no cloud, for privacy and governance. If you want cloud or live access, it can be enabled via LTE/5G or on-site Wi-Fi.

  • Portal & Sharing

    Finished films and selected clips can be shared securely through a protected portal whenever owners, contractors or partners need them.

  • Timelapse Video Delivery

    We produce and deliver finished, edited timelapse films, ready for documentation, social-media storytelling, presentations and websites.

  • Full Support

    Dedicated support throughout the project. We keep the cameras running so you can focus on building.

Questions about timelapse for civil engineering projects

How are the cameras installed on the construction site?
We assess the site in advance and identify the best angles, indoors or out. Cameras are mounted in a rugged position, typically on a mast, crane, façade, container or wall. They run autonomously on battery and store footage locally, so they need no mains power or internet connection. The full installation is carried out by us and is operational the same day.
Can the camera move during the project?
Yes. We can reposition the camera as the build progresses, so the finished film captures the project from several perspectives. This gives a more dynamic, story-driven result than a single fixed viewpoint.
Are you used to working on construction sites?
Yes. We are used to working on active construction sites and always comply with the site’s requirements and safety rules, including safety induction, access control, personal protective equipment and applicable health-and-safety regulations. We hold, or will obtain, the required certificates and access permissions, so installation and visits are carried out safely and by the book.
How long can a project run?
Our solution suits everything from shorter projects to multi-year builds. There is a minimum booking of 3 months per camera, capped at 9 months. So with three cameras or more the minimum booking is 9 months. After that it continues month by month for as long as the project lasts. You pay per camera per month.
When and how is the timelapse video delivered?
We deliver finished, edited timelapse films at the end of the project and can also provide interim films at key milestones. Videos are delivered digitally in high resolution and can be used for documentation, social-media storytelling, presentations, websites and marketing.
Is the footage secure?
Yes. By default all footage is stored locally on the camera with no cloud storage. That gives high data security and full control, which matters for security and governance on the construction site. Finished films and selected clips can be shared through a protected portal when you want. If the project needs cloud or live access, we can enable a connected setup via LTE/5G or on-site Wi-Fi.
