Construction Cameras for Residential Builds
Building someone's home is personal. They want to see progress, share it with family, and feel connected to the process. Construction cameras make this possible while creating valuable documentation and marketing content for your business.
Why Cameras for Home Builds
Keep Homeowners Engaged
Future homeowners love watching their house come together. Camera access keeps them connected and excited about their investment.
Document Your Craftsmanship
Create a visual record of your quality work. Time-lapse videos showcase your building process for future clients.
Reduce 'Check-in' Visits
When clients can see progress themselves, they make fewer 'just stopping by' visits that interrupt your crew.
Protect Both Parties
Timestamped documentation protects builders from disputes and gives homeowners confidence in the process.
Residential Use Cases
Custom Home Builds
High-end custom homes benefit from documentation that becomes part of the home's story. Clients often treasure their time-lapse video.
Spec Home Development
Document spec homes for marketing. Time-lapse videos help sell the next project by showing your building process.
Housing Developments
Multi-unit developments can use cameras on key lots to document progress for sales, investors, and project management.
Remote Client Builds
When clients live far from the build site, cameras become essential for keeping them informed and maintaining trust.
Benefits for Everyone
For Homeowners
For Builders
The Time-Lapse Gift
Many builders present the completed time-lapse video to clients at handover—a lasting memento of their home's creation. This personal touch delights clients and often leads to referrals.
A 12-month home build compressed into a 2-minute video is something clients share with family and friends for years. It's marketing for your business that keeps working.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a construction camera worth it for a single home build?
Yes, especially for custom homes. At €250 per month (typical configuration) for a 12-month build, the total cost is around €3,000. This is a small percentage of project value and provides significant benefits: happier clients, marketing content, and dispute protection. Many builders include it as a standard service.
Do homeowners actually use the camera access?
Absolutely. Homeowners building their dream home are emotionally invested and typically check the camera frequently—some daily. This engagement is positive: it keeps them excited and informed, reducing anxiety-driven calls to you.
Can I use the time-lapse for marketing?
Yes, with client permission. Time-lapse videos of completed homes are powerful marketing tools. They demonstrate your building process, attention to detail, and project management capabilities in a compelling format.
What if the homeowner wants the camera longer than my subscription?
Subscriptions can be transferred to the homeowner or extended as needed. Some builders include a certain period in their contract and offer extensions. Photos can also be archived for the homeowner's permanent records.
How do I position the camera for a single-family home?
Corner positions typically work best, capturing two sides of the home. For larger homes or complex sites, consider the primary view that shows the most construction activity. Our team can advise on optimal placement.
