Long-term construction time-lapse: whole projects summed up in minutes

Long-term construction time-lapse is one of the most powerful tools for documenting, communicating and analysing how a construction project evolves. It condenses months or years of work into a video lasting a few seconds, giving a clear, dynamic and professional view of progress on site.

For contractors, engineering firms and developers, construction time-lapse is now a key way to strengthen communication with clients, investors and internal teams.

How we produce a professional long-term time-lapse

Every construction project is unique. Before installing our professional time-lapse cameras, we study the surroundings to choose the best position, ensuring:

• Stable, consistent viewpoints throughout the works
• Wide, highly detailed shots
• Secure, sturdy mounting for recording over months or years
• Suitable lighting conditions
• Coverage for 4G/5G connectivity or solar power

Our capture systems are fully customised. Together with the client we set the capture intervals, the frequency and every technical parameter needed for a visually flawless construction time-lapse. At Droneit we also give careful thought to fixings and equipment placement, so the cameras stay firmly in place on long-running projects without causing any damage to existing structures.

Advanced technology for construction time-lapse

Every frame is captured, processed and stored automatically, and our own artificial intelligence algorithm discards images taken on rainy days or distorted by anything in front of the lens. All our cameras also offer unlimited 24/7 live monitoring via streaming.

Through Visionhub, our exclusive platform, clients can:

• View the site in real time, 24/7
• View or request high-quality, automatically generated time-lapses.
• Compare daily, weekly and monthly progress
• Download videos and content for reports
• Manage unlimited users and permissions
• Analyse activity on site with AI (artificial intelligence)

All the information sits in one simple environment, accessible from any device through any web browser, as well as a mobile and tablet app for iOS and Android.

Benefits of time-lapse for building and civil engineering
