Take a look at one of our portals
Your dedicated portal enhances your construction time lapse project. Our service includes a secure online link to a personalized portal with your logo. This high-resolution image archive contains all project images with time and date stamps. The calendar tool allows easy navigation to track project development, while the image comparison tool showcases progress. Accessible on any device 24/7, it’s an ideal site monitoring tool for comprehensive time lapse photography and filming.
Hiring a professional photographer or videographer can cost £450–£850 per day, with travel costs on top — and they only capture limited moments in time.
Time lapse gives you:
✅ 24/7 automated coverage
✅ No need for site access or supervision
✅ Every stage of the build captured
✅ Lower effective daily cost
✅ Perfect visual documentation for clients and stakeholders
For many clients, a full month of time lapse filming costs less than a few days of traditional photography, with far more usable footage.
