is an essential preparatory step for construction projects near existing buildings or infrastructure. It provides visual evidence of the condition of nearby structures before work begins, helping prevent legal disputes and protecting all project stakeholders.
How it works?
This service involves taking high-resolution photographs or video footage of adjacent buildings, roads, or technical infrastructure. Each image is catalogued by location and supplemented with a description of visible defects or surface conditions. The documentation can be enhanced with additional tools such as 3D scanning or geodetic surveys.
Visual survey of the surroundings to determine what needs to be documented.
Photographic recording of façades, plaster, windows, pavements, and visible installations.
Assigning photos to specific addresses, GPS points, or floor plans.
Compiling a PDF or digital report with annotations, indexes, and image archives.
Process steps
Documentation should be completed before any excavation, demolition, sheet piling, or heavy machinery activity near existing assets.
Identify impacted areas
Determine the range of buildings, roads, and utility systems to be documented.
Visual evidence collection
Photograph key structural areas and record visible conditions.
Grouping and naming
Sort photos by location and add descriptions or defect annotations.
Share with stakeholders
Provide the complete documentation to the investor, general contractor, or designer.
Benefits of photographic documentation
Helps resolve disputes by providing dated proof of pre-existing conditions.
Shows professionalism and transparency to neighbors and local authorities.
Enables clear comparison of before/after states during or after construction.
Creates a lasting record of conditions surrounding the construction site.
