Construction Photo Documentation
Structured 2D photography of conditions, progress, milestones and specific issues, organised by project context so anyone can find the shot later. The difference between this and a camera roll is the organisation, not the camera.
- What it costs
- Quoted per scope
- Also called
- construction photos · progress photos · jobsite photo documentation · pre-cover photos · RFI photos · punch list photos · photo documentation
Where it earns its keep
Use it for these.
- A specific condition somebody will need to prove later
- Pre-cover records of work about to be concealed
- Issue, RFI and punch documentation
- Owner and stakeholder updates on a cadence
Don’t use it for this
Broad immersive coverage of a whole floor plate — that is 360 — and anything dimensional, which is scanning.
We put this on every service page because the fastest way to waste your money is to buy the impressive tool instead of the correct one. If the row above describes your job, say so on the call and we’ll point you at the right one — including when it’s cheaper than this.
Find the right one by problem →What you receive
And what it opens in.
- Organised, time-stamped 2D photo record for the agreed areas and events
- Location or drawing association where the selected platform supports it
- Capture dates, coverage and any area that could not be reached
Included every time
Formats
Hosted record · JPG · PDF report
Format is agreed against what you do with the data next — these are the ones this service commonly delivers in, not a promise of every format on every project. Delivered to a shared project folder anyone on the job can open: no accounts, no per-seat charge, and if you leave, the record leaves with you.
The boundary
Where this scope ends.
Options on this scope
- Selected high-resolution originals
- Floor-plan or drawing pinning
- Annotations
- Issue, RFI or punch references where the platform is integrated
- Date-to-date comparison sets
- PDF or image report
- Captioned stakeholder update
- Recurring progress package on an agreed cadence
- Selected edited project images
A separate Kinetic service
- 360° Construction DocumentationBroad immersive coverage of a whole floor plate, rather than targeted stills of specific conditions.
- Construction Video DocumentationWhen a sequence or an explanation is what has to be preserved.
- Visual Closeout & Project ArchiveOrganising this record into a durable handover once the project ends.
- Design vs. Installed VerificationHolding what was installed against the coordinated model. Photographs document; comparison verifies.
Not something Kinetic does
- Professional or code inspection
- Engineering certification
- Code-compliance certification
- Licensed surveying
- Commissioning
- Certification of percent complete, payment entitlement or installed quantity
Where a project needs one of these, we say so and point you at someone licensed to do it.
Before it can be scheduled
One question that changes the answer.
Permission to capture
Do you have authority to authorise visual capture on this site?
Kinetic confirms the customer owns or lawfully occupies the site, or has authority from whoever does, before capture begins. It also settles what is in scope to photograph and what is not — adjacent private property, and any area where people reasonably expect privacy, are planned around rather than captured and cropped afterwards.
Before we can price it
What we’d ask you.
Kinetic confirms the scope with you before anything is scheduled. None of it is a form to fill in — it is what the conversation covers.
- What will this record be used for?
- Everything, or specific areas and conditions?
- One-time, on a cadence, or triggered by milestones?
- Who needs to open it, and where do they expect to find it?
What changes the size of the job
- Site size
- Number of floors and zones
- Capture type
- Cadence
- Milestone count
- Project duration
- Platform and hosting
- Reporting
- Site access
- Travel
- Archive requirements
Useful to have, none of it required to start
- Project location
- Agreed coverage — areas, zones, levels
- What the record will be used for
- Cadence, or the list of milestones to capture
- How images should be organised, and any labelling or metadata requirement
- Who needs access, and how it should be delivered
- Your authorisation for visual capture on this site
Where we run it
Markets this shows up on most.
Multifamily
Repeated floorplates and hundreds of units make interior 360 history and pre-close documentation worth more than they look. Less glamorous, rewards discipline.
Multifamily documentationData centers
Schedule-critical, spatially large, and watched by people who are never on site. Recurring documentation across earthwork, steel, MEP, equipment pads and commissioning.
Reality capture for data center construction
What this runs with.
All services →360° Construction Documentation
When the whole floor plate matters rather than a specific condition.
Available within Kinetic programs and qualifying project scopesConstruction Video Documentation
When the thing being explained only makes sense moving.
