Construction Progress Photography
Construction progress photography and drone documentation for commercial builds in San Diego.
I shoot a mix of aerial and handheld stills and video tracking projects from groundbreaking through completion.
I help clients build coverage around what the job actually needs. Some projects require documentation on a set schedule, while others include a specific installation (e.g., a storm vault) or milestone (e.g., slab pour) that needs to be captured on short notice.
All work is conducted with active job site safety in mind: I use proper PPE, maintain clear communication with site supervisors, and practice awareness of heavy equipment in operation.
Contractors, architects, and developers get high-quality images that show reliable, recurring documentation of a project in progress. This service is also well suited for construction lenders who require regular visual progress reporting, or anyone who wants to ensure best practices are happening on their job sites.
Clients include Allgire General Contractors, Studio E Architects, St. Paul’s PACE, and Wakeland Housing
FAQ
How often do you shoot progress documentation? Depends on the project. Some clients book a recurring schedule (commonly every four weeks), others need coverage tied to specific milestones on short notice, like a major installation.
Can you fly the same route each time for consistent comparison shots? Yes. I can program drone flights so each visit captures the same angles and framing for an accurate progress record.
Do you offer video as well as stills on construction sites? Yes. I offer both drone and handheld video for construction documentation; see [Video Services] for examples of the kind of video work involved.
Are you experienced working on active job sites? Yes. Active construction sites come with real hazards, and I conduct shoots with that in mind. Always wear hard hat and hi-vis on site, carry insurance, and stay in regular communication with site supers before and during a visit. Flying a drone around cranes and heavy equipment requires awareness of what operators are doing and staying clear of it. The goal on every visit is to get the shot without slowing down the job or getting in anyone's way.
