Why a timelapse earns its place
A months-long project produces one story that everyone — owner, investors, marketing, legal — wants to see. A single fixed camera, running for the whole build, captures it once and pays for itself several times: a launch film, proof for progress claims, and an unbroken record if a schedule or scope dispute ever surfaces.
What you get
The edited film
A clean timelapse of the full build, cut to music, plus short milestone clips (structure, envelope, finishes) ready for social and sales.
Archived raw frames
Every original frame kept and dated — reusable for progress estimates, marketing stills, or evidence, long after the crew leaves.
Live progress page
Optional: a private URL where stakeholders check the latest frame and the build so far — without a site visit.
How it works
- Scout & mount. We pick the vantage point that keeps the whole build in frame to the end, and mount a weatherproofed rig with its own power.
- Capture. Frames on a fixed cadence for months, unattended, synced off-site so nothing is lost to a stolen or failed camera.
- Curate. We drop nights, storms and idle stretches, and keep the moments that carry the story.
- Deliver. Final film, milestone clips and the raw archive — the footage is yours.
Selected work
Full-build timelapse — deltoro
One of our documented construction timelapses, start to finish. Ask to see the reel and the milestone cuts.
▶ REQUEST THE REELLimited schedule
We run a small number of long-term captures at once so each site gets the hardware and attention it needs. Lead time is set per project.
BY PROJECTA real 8-month construction timelapse with monthly reports (Monterrey, MX). Additional deltoro footage on request.
Good fits
- Commercial & industrial builds — warehouses, plants, retail, offices: a launch asset and a progress record in one.
- Infrastructure & civil — bridges, roads, energy: long timelines where a monthly still proves the schedule.
- Manufacturing installs — line build-outs and equipment installs, tied to the same engineering rigor as our calculators.
- Research & long-term change — anything worth watching over months rather than minutes.
FAQ
How long can it run?
From a few weeks to well over a year. The rig is built for continuous, unattended, outdoor operation.
What if the camera is stolen or fails?
Frames sync off-site as they're captured, so the record survives even if the hardware doesn't.
Who owns the footage?
You do — final film and raw archive. No platform lock-in, same as everything we build.
