In the construction arena, projects demand meticulous coordination, creativity and precision - three essential ingredients of success in any endeavor. In this dynamic atmosphere, photography and videography have recently become indispensable assets, revolutionizing project documentation, management and marketing. At Aerialworks - an MBE and FAA certified business offering photography and aerial drone services - we recognize the transformative potential of visual media in construction; here are five compelling reasons why more construction sites should incorporate photography and videography into their mix.
Reason 1: Improve Project Documentation and Progress Tracking
Documenting the entire construction process is becoming an extremely important endeavor. According to research conducted by the Construction Industry Institute (CII), using photography and videography has led to an impressive 20% increase in comprehensive progress tracking. Furthermore, high-resolution images and footage provide a detailed chronicle of each phase, helping future projects by providing greater understanding of past successes and challenges (source: CII Report on Visual Documentation in Construction).
Reason 2: Improve Safety and Mitigate Risk
Safety in construction arena is of the utmost importance, and research conducted by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) shows a 30% decrease in incidents as a result of drones providing aerial views for risk assessment. Videography allows real-time monitoring with reduced response times of 25% which mitigate potential hazards (source: OSHA Report on Aerial Surveillance in Construction).
Reason 3: Effective Communication and Stakeholder Engagement are Key Strategies
Photography and videography transcend language barriers, providing universal mediums for effective communication. A survey by Construction Marketing Association (CMA) highlights an astounding 40% increase in stakeholder engagement through captivating visuals; furthermore, these visuals help boost marketing efforts, drawing in 35% more prospective clients and strengthening brand credibility (Source: CMA Survey on Visual Media in Construction Marketing).
Reason 4: Quality Assurance and Inspection - Quality Management System (QA/IN).
Drones equipped with cameras have revolutionized the quality assurance and inspection process on construction sites. According to research by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), drones armed with cameras significantly increase quality assurance by 20 percent when it comes to detecting discrepancies or structural issues through aerial photography. HD imagery facilitates meticulous inspections to ensure adherence with design specifications and regulatory standards reducing rework by an impressive 15% (Source: NIST Research on Aerial Imaging for Quality Assurance)
Reason 5: Marketing and Project Showcasing
Visual content has quickly become the cornerstone of construction marketing strategies. According to a report released by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), professional photography and videography led to a 25% increase in attracting potential clients and investors through engaging project showcases (Source: AIA Report on Visual Content in Construction Marketing).
In an ever-evolving construction environment, photography and videography have quickly become necessities in project management, communication, marketing, efficiency, safety and success. These visual mediums transform project management, communication and marketing for optimal efficiency, safety and success.
