Studio52 Methodology

Timelapse Setup

 The entire construction site was monitored using cameras placed at multiple angles to capture consistent progress across all project stages. This setup allowed stakeholders to track development remotely and ensured clear visual documentation throughout the build.

Timelapse Equipment Used
Equipment Used
  • Cameras: High-resolution timelapse cameras and fixed monitoring units were used to capture clear, detailed visuals of daily construction progress.
  • Mounts: Durable, weather-resistant mounts ensured stable positioning, while reliable power systems, including solar panels, supported continuous long-term recording.
Timelapse camera Location and Installation
Location and Installation

Strategic Positioning: Cameras were installed at elevated viewpoints to capture a complete overview of the construction site and key structural developments.

Installation: Placement was coordinated with site engineers to ensure optimal coverage without interrupting ongoing construction activities.
