We’re sharing more examples of P-Tn professional photography for Wall Displays, with an emphasis on our sleek looking float-mount metal prints with a high-gloss finish for a truly impressive construction/industrial appearance.  This group of five 24x36” enlargements provide an attention getting display in the conference room at JM Fahey Construction in Grandview, Missouri.  Aerial (drone) and ground photography shows Fahey crews and heavy equipment in operation throughout the Kansas City ...

We've been super busy for quite a bit!   We shared in social media posts that part of our field-shooting team has been out of town recently - quite a way out of town ... about 150 miles from the Mexican border, in beautiful rural Texas!  A 35+ mile long CROSS-COUNTRY water pipeline was our focus for Pre-Construction PHOTO/VIDEO Documentation. Linear projects like this happen throughout the USA, and on occasion P-Tn receives calls to handle documentation on projects well beyond the Kansas City ...

We’ve added a pilot to our DRONE FLIGHT CREW. And surprise that new addition is none-other than Eric Berndt, our P-Tn Founder and resident ‘old guy’!  This gives us three FAA Certified UAV Pilots.  Eric had the honor of acquiring P-Tn’s first ever drone several years ago.  Eric also had the honor of making our maiden drone flight.  This took place years ago … before any rules & regs for drone flight and pilot certification became the complex requirements they are today. The thrill of ... Read More about A NEW DRONE PILOT JOINS OUR CREW

Another ProgressWEBCAM was just deployed!  This install will allow P-Tn to create a Time-lapse of a new residential home build.  The custom home builder, Catalyst Construction of Prairie Village, Kansas wisely timed our installation to capture the site just before initial site grading and excavation got underway.  If all goes well, we will capture this time-lapse video “from dirt to landscaping” before the year is out.  Our online ARCHIVEpics INTERFACE  delivers a view of this empty basement ...

Sharing what you do, your business successes, is so important.  How you share those stories is worth some thought.  Try to ”see things with a new perspective” – literally.  This still photo is a clue, and the VIDEO ‘short’ we’ve linked to HERE is just a teaser for a fully edited video that will feature a major street reconstruction for one of our valued P-Tn clients.  Thinking about final photos of your newest or best projects?   Think VIDEO, too! Want a new perspective?  Try keeping your feet ... Read More about SHARE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

We’ve been talking about METAL PRINTS recently, but metal prints (high gloss professional prints on an aluminum panel) are just one of several options available for utilizing P-Tn professional photography when choosing large photographs to use for office wall displays and other marketing applications, like tradeshows, job fairs, gifting, and more! BIG is the key here.  Framing is the second enhancement.  Metal or canvas surfaces are out of the ordinary approaches.  And smaller framed prints ...

Having an online presence that includes a website is an important aspect of any business marketing plan and including interesting content – in the form of photographs and videos – is what it takes to attract and keep visitors at your site.  ABAY Construction recently launched a website and utilized a past P-Tn Video ‘Short’ to illustrate what they do as soon as a visitor hits their HOME PAGE. Additional drone aerial photography by P-Tn plus other still photos by their staff add to content on ... Read More about QUALITY CONTENT for YOUR WEBSITE

The purpose behind the huge volume of PRE-Construction PHOTO & VIDEO documentation we complete every year for P-Tn clients throughout the Midwest is … what?  Protection against unjust claims of damage.  Those claims typically materialize when the work is well underway, or after final completion and restoration is done.  The cropped photo at left (and THIS larger overview) illustrate the amount of detail available (in this case, from DRONE aerials) and the value of having that information ...

It just keeps getting easier to enter the world of electronic document management.  Our new RENT-to-OWN program from the leader in large format touchscreen interactive workstations will certainly make the ‘numbers’ work for any budget!  We’ve recently shared reminders of how economical iPlanTables ownership is, with the $5500 and $7500 entry points for the Desktop Commander and V-Series Models.  Now you have the option of RENT-to-OWN for as little as $319 per month. Let’s repeat that news – ... Read More about P-Tn iPlanTables RENT-TO-OWN OPTION!

We mentioned in other posts that Linear Pipeline Projects have been the focus of discussion this past year with several of our engineering and construction clients.  The conversation focuses on improving the specification requirements for this scope of work, from what is currently circulating to wording that more clearly describes what is desired.  We often encounter outdated specs that request products or procedures that are either no longer available at all, or no longer in current use by ...

Just how expensive is the transition to Wide Format Touchscreen electronic management of electronic documents?  It is NOT expensive – it is a cost saver!  That said, most consider the up-front cost of purchasing a workstation to be the biggest obstacle.  To be clear – we’re talking about one of the many iPlanTables models available thru P-Tn.  Let’s put that myth to rest. The actual cost of obtaining an iPlanTable Desktop Commander is $5500.  Surprised?  How does that number compare to the ... Read More about AFFORDABLE CONNECTION to iPlanTables

Linear Pipeline Projects have been the focus of discussion this past year with several of our engineering and construction clients.  Conversation has centered around photo or video documentation of expansive projects, where the construction zone is extended over large areas and is constantly moving.  Unlike a single site for building construction, linear projects are much more challenging to document.  P-Tn delivers Pre and Post-Construction photos & videos, progress, and final completion ...
