Construction videography
and photography, Melbourne.
Progress records, fly throughs and the finished build, shot to your programme from slab to handover. One library for the tender, the website and the socials.
Shot to the build programme, not a spare afternoon.
A build offers most of its frames once. The detail at lock up disappears behind plasterboard and the finished room is never new again, so visits are booked at slab, frame, lock up, fit out and completion, and every frame is dated and shot from the same position as the last.
The build, in motion.
Project highlights, walk throughs and aerial passes.
The finish, on record.
The things people ask first.
What do we get from a site shoot?
Progress photos and aerial work from each visit, graded to one look and built into a library you can use for tenders, the website and socials.
Can you shoot the stills and the video on the same day?
Yes. Stills and aerial video come off the same visit, so one person covers the progress photos, the drone work and any site film in one day, with no second crew on site.
How often do you come to site, and can you shoot while the trades are working?
Monthly, or once per stage: slab, frame, lock up, fit out and practical completion. A working site makes better frames than an empty one, so I move around the programme rather than stopping it.
Can you match the look we already have?
Yes. Send the brand guide or a few frames you like and the grade is set to it before the first visit, so the progress set sits beside your earlier work.
How quickly do we see the photos?
Progress sets within two business days of each visit. At handover, one folder graded to match: full resolution for print and tender, web sizes, vertical crops for socials, within ten business days of the final visit.
Who owns the photos?
You do, for your own marketing, tenders and awards, in perpetuity. I keep the right to show the work in my own portfolio unless the project is confidential.
What if we are not happy with the photos?
Revisions on the delivered set are part of the job, not an extra. I confirm the stage, angle and light with you before each visit, so most adjustments are small and settled on site.
Do you have a White Card, and is the drone legal over a live site?
Yes to both. I hold a construction White Card, bring my own PPE and complete your site induction. Drone flights run under a CASA remote pilot licence, with approvals arranged before the visit.
What areas do you cover?
Across Melbourne, including the eastern suburbs, the Dandenong Ranges, the Yarra Valley, Mernda, the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong as standard. Regional Victoria and interstate are quoted with travel.
Are you insured?
Yes. $20M public liability and a current Working With Children Check, with a construction White Card for site work. Certificates are supplied on request for venue and site inductions.
Do you shoot fly throughs and handover films?
Yes. Aerial and ground fly throughs at key stages, and a finished build film at handover for the website, tenders and award entries.
Can the images be used for tenders and awards?
Yes. Commercial licensing covers tenders, award entries, the website, socials and print, and the files are sized for each.
Do you shoot the finished interiors too?
Yes, at handover. For venues, fitouts and spaces once they are trading, the commercial photo and video page covers the finished space and the business in it.
Can you work with our site manager?
Yes. Site access, the induction and the safest windows to shoot are arranged with the site manager ahead of the day, and the PPE is my own.
How do I book?
Send the project address, the stages and the handover date through the contact page. I come back with a fixed quote and the visit schedule, so the visits sit in your programme from the start.
Put the finish on the record.
Send the project, the stage it is at and the handover date. I will map the shoot schedule around the build.
