Construction Timelapses
Easy-to-use service for long-term timelapse filming.
Tell the story of your project in seconds. Professional timelapse videos that capture every phase of construction—from groundbreaking to completion.
What is a Timelapse?
Timelapse videos accelerate footage so that one second of video represents hours or days in reality. They offer a unique perspective on slow transformations—like the construction of new buildings or city development—by compressing time and making gradual changes visible.
Check out our YouTube channel to see the kind of videos our customers have produced with Builder.Cam cameras and service.
From Thousands of Photos to One Video
Every Builder.Cam camera captures photos automatically throughout your project. These photos are stored in the cloud and can be compiled into a timelapse video at any time.
Our team handles the editing—selecting the best shots, smoothing transitions, and delivering a polished video that tells the story of your build. We can add your logo, music, and text overlays.
The result: a compelling visual narrative of your project that takes seconds to watch but represents months or years of work.
