The DEMO on this residence is pretty much complete. Take our word for it - it came down F-A-S-T! Excavation for the new foundation is now getting underway. Our ProgressWEBCAM has captured daily images of the demolition and site clearing, so we can share this initial P-Tn Time-lapse [CLICK HERE], which also includes a birds-eye view of the before DEMO and after, courtesy of our Head Drone Pilot, Travis Berndt. More to come on this build, as we will add to the Time-lapse video during the new ... Read More about CONSTRUCTION DEMO “DOWNS & UPS”

We could go on about iPlanTables Wide-format Interactive Touchscreen Workstations forever. The long-term economic advantages of electronic document management are numerous.  That's why so many firms are converting to all-electronic plan sheets, and selecting iPlanTables as the centerpiece. This is true for more than just the architecture / engineering / construction industries; Municipal Plan Review Departments, City Planners (like the City of Shawnee, Kansas), and Fire Marshals are discovering ...

Here's the 'old guy' again, up on a ladder ... installing at a construction site. This time we're putting in one of our MOTION DETECTING FLOOD units that will illuminate the rear of a residential construction site while it's under construction. When someone moves into the 'zone' three flood lights go on, along with an amber strobe to attract attention. This will encourage any unwelcome visitor to stop and leave the area. The real secret is that one of our ProgressWEBCAM units is watching and ... Read More about FLOOD LIGHT MONITORING SYSTEM

We promised ... and THIS HOUSE HAS CHANGED!  [It's GONE!] We deployed another P-Tn ProgressWEBCAM just recently (Prairie Village, to be more precise).  This T-M-S unit [a solar powered, trailer with a 20-foot mast for camera mounting] will first monitor demolition of this residence, to make way for a new home to be built by Catalyst Construction - visit their website at catalystbuilt.com and learn about the home building expertise of owners Travis Brungardt & Joe Cook. We promised ... Read More about UPDATE – HOMESTEAD HIGH PERFORMANCE

We don't just hang around the Kansas City Metro. Although the bulk of our work focuses (no pun intended) on the Kansas City Metropolitan area, we handle Visual Documentation for our clients on projects throughout the Midwest ... and sometimes well beyond that.  The many smaller rural cities in Kansas and Missouri are often our destination.  Infrastructure projects like water main and sanitary sewer rehabilitation upgrades frequently require extensive PRE-Construction and POST-Construction photo ...

Watch our "set-up" for a new INTERIOR TIME-LAPSE! This photo of one of our ProgressWEBCAM INTERIOR UNITS reminds you that we install our systems to monitor INTERIOR spaces, too.  Site monitoring on construction projects offers more value to contractors, as they fill the need to know what activities are going on - in real time - at the build site, after the structure is enclosed.  Don't just think about commercial construction, either; residential building supervision calls for the same - if not ...

WATCH THIS HOUSE CHANGE! We've deployed another P-Tn ProgressWEBCAM right here in the Kansas City Metro (Prairie Village, to be more precise).  This T-M-S unit [a solar powered, trailer with a 20-foot mast for camera mounting] will first monitor demolition of this residence, to make way for a new home to be built by Catalyst Construction - visit their website at catalystbuilt.com and learn about the home building expertise of owners Travis Brungardt & Joe Cook.

City Streetscapes are another example of expansive projects that are a challenge to share with associates, clients, and prospective customers.  The scope and scale of even small(er) streetscape projects demands quality imagery - whether still photos or video coverage - to capture the entire project.  Employing aerial imagery is a must. Start with photos or video of the completed project, but pre-construction views of the existing streetscape will become valuable comparisons - after completion, ... Read More about CITY STREETSCAPES

ROADWAYS, as well as pipeline and similar large-scale projects, are challenging to capture in a video or slideshow.  The sheer length of such projects makes it difficult, if not impossible, to deliver the "Big Picture" in a single view, and a continuous video down the alignment may put viewers to sleep in short order.  There are solutions . . . So, how do you share a large project with clients and prospects?  A combination of still photos and video footage, presented in a well edited marketing ...

We often create a collage of images for our clients, when shooting finished projects for marketing or promotional use, and especially when planning color enlargements for WALL DISPLAY. On our computer, we include smaller photos, or progress shots, within a large image of the finished project (like these three combined views). Now we have created a single digital image file, or finished print (that can be framed) illustrating brief story of your success - from beginning to end. We use this same ...
