Frequently Asked Questions for Construction & Infrastructure Projects
-
We work on large civil, industrial, and infrastructure projects where there’s a lot at stake and a lot to communicate. That includes roads and bridges, transit lines, industrial facilities, and complex commercial builds. If the jobsite is busy, technical, and highly visible, that’s our sweet spot.
-
Edmonton is home base, and most of our work happens in and around the city. We regularly travel across Alberta for the right projects and can support teams throughout Western Canada when the scope makes sense. If you’re unsure whether your site is in range, reach out and we’ll talk through options.
-
Yes. Most of our projects take place on active jobsites with equipment moving, crews working, and tight safety protocols in place. We coordinate with your site supervisor, follow your safety orientation and PPE requirements, and plan our shooting schedule around your operations so we don’t get in the way of the work.
-
Absolutely. Many clients bring us in to handle video, photography, and aerial imagery as one integrated package. That keeps the visual style consistent, reduces coordination overhead, and ensures you have a complete library of assets for bids, stakeholder updates, web, and social.
-
Yes. Aerial imagery is a core part of how we document large projects. We use drones to capture progress, show scale, and give stakeholders a top‑down view they can’t get from the ground. Drone coverage can be set up as one‑off flights for key milestones or as a recurring schedule over the life of a project.
-
Yes. Our drone pilots hold the appropriate Transport Canada certifications and follow all airspace regulations. We also maintain the insurance coverage required to operate on active construction and industrial sites. Before we fly, we review site constraints and any specific safety requirements with your team.
-
Most clients use the footage and imagery in multiple ways: proposals and bid submissions, stakeholder and community updates, internal communications, recruitment campaigns, websites and social media, and end‑of‑project highlight reels. We’re happy to advise on formats and deliverables so you get the most value out of each shoot.
-
Yes. Many of our projects are driven by stakeholder relations, not just marketing. We create videos and imagery that help you explain complex work to residents, partners, regulators, and internal leadership. That might mean progress updates, “what’s happening here” explainers, or recap videos at key milestones.
-
We do. We can plan a coverage schedule that follows your project from early works through to completion. That might include monthly progress visits, milestone shoots, seasonal updates, and a final wrap‑up piece. Consistent documentation gives you a valuable record for reporting, future bids, and your own project archive.
-
Yes. We often cover ribbon cuttings, groundbreakings, equipment installs, traffic switchovers, and handover events. We’ll work with your team on timing, key moments to capture, and any speeches or interviews you’d like recorded so you have a polished record of the milestone.
-
We know that construction doesn’t always follow the schedule—if something important is coming up quickly, reach out and we’ll do our best to make it work.
That said, if you have a firm date for an event or major milestone, we recommend booking as soon as that date is confirmed so we can reserve the crew and any permits required. For ongoing work or flexible timelines, a couple weeks’ notice is usually enough. -
The basics we look for are: project type, location, expected dates, what you want covered (video, photography, aerial, or a mix), and how you plan to use the final visuals. If you already know your key messages or deliverables (for example, “three short videos and a photo library”), sharing that helps us scope a more accurate quote.
-
Yes. On most projects we’re collaborating with a mix of people—project managers, site supervisors, communications leads, and marketing teams. We’re comfortable working within your brand guidelines, approval process, and safety protocols, and we’re used to balancing everyone’s priorities around the realities of site work.
-
We can. Many of our clients have sites spread across Alberta or Western Canada and prefer to work with one visual partner they trust. Travel logistics and costs are built into the quote upfront so there are no surprises. If you’re outside our usual radius, we’ll let you know what’s realistic.
-
Most projects follow a simple path: we talk through your goals, scope, and timeline; we propose an approach and quote; then we confirm dates, shot lists, and any approvals and gather permits needed. We also attend your organizations safety orientations. On site, we work efficiently and safely alongside your crews. Afterward, we handle editing, revisions, and final delivery in the formats you need—keeping you updated at each stage so there are no question marks about where things stand. From there, we check in to make sure you’re happy with the final project before wrapping it up.
