Building & construction
From slab to handover.
Progress documentation, finished-build photography and video for builders and trades across Geelong, the Bellarine, the Surf Coast and the Golden Plains. The same angle, visit after visit, so the whole build reads as one story instead of a folder of unrelated photos.

Abode Build, monthly
Book it once. Forget about it.
While the build is running, we turn up each month, shoot it, edit it, and hand it back ready to post, with captions ready for social media so nobody has to sit down and write them. It doesn't have to be the same site every time either. Whatever you're working on that month is what we shoot. Your feed and your posting schedule stay yours. We just keep them fed.
The same angle, every visit
First thing on site is the anchor shot: the same drone angle every time, so the whole build reads as one story from slab to handover, not a folder of unrelated photos.
The big months get a bigger edit
In any month a big stage wraps, slab, frame, lockup or handover, that month's video becomes a milestone edit: everything we've filmed so far, cut into one. About four times across a typical build.
Groundwork
Drone and camera, once a month.
The drone flies for the reel, and the photos come from the air and the ground. No video inside the build at this level. It keeps the story ticking over without anyone on site having to think about it.
- 10 progress photos, aerial and ground
- 1 aerial reel, 30 to 60 sec
- Captions ready for social media
Framework
The full kit, once a month.
Everything in Groundwork, and the video camera comes inside: the crew at work, rooms taking shape, the detail up close. That month's walkthrough video covers the build inside and out, aerials included.
- 15 progress photos, aerial and ground
- 1 walkthrough video, 60 sec+
- Captions ready for social media
Showcase
The full kit, twice a month.
Same full coverage as Framework, two visits a month and a walkthrough video from each. For builders with a couple of sites on the go and a feed that needs feeding.
- 30 progress photos (15 per visit)
- 2 walkthrough videos, 60 sec+ (1 per visit)
- Captions ready for social media
Good to know
- No lock-in. It only runs while there's something worth shooting. If the site goes quiet, text or email and it pauses, no charge. It picks back up when the next build starts.
- Chris drives the creative side and flags what's worth capturing as the build moves along. You don't need to.
- Running several jobs? Visits can rotate across your active sites.
- Suppliers, trades and stylists are welcome to share the images, as long as they tag us.
- Price list on request.
On Camera Update
Add it to any visit. You, or whoever on the team is happy to, mic'd up on site talking through where the build is at. We weave it into that month's edit. People follow people, and this is the content working hardest for builders right now. And if being on camera isn't anyone's thing, everything above works without it.
End of Build Package
The finale on any package. A two to three minute film and social reel covering the whole build, plus finished photography of the completed home.
Extra social cut
An additional vertical edit for social media, cut from footage we've already shot.
