Questions before we get started.

Can you return at regular intervals?

Recurring visits can be scoped around the project schedule. Identify the important viewpoints, milestones and intended audience so the imagery remains useful over time.

Do you provide both ground and aerial photography?

Yes, the scope can combine ground photography and aerial imagery where flights are feasible and authorized.

How do you plan access to an active site?

Chris coordinates with the project contact on access, orientation, PPE, escorts, timing and photography restrictions before the visit.

Is this surveying or an engineering inspection?

This service is photography and video documentation for visual communication. Surveying, certified measurements and engineering inspections are outside this described scope.

What do you need to quote a project?

Send the site location, project stage, requested visit frequency, important subjects, access requirements and intended uses.

Let’s plan the right coverage.
