Construction Video Documentation

 Ogden Communications

Your resource for all documentation needs,
from pre- through post-construction.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, these days a video can be worth thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to you and your company.

Video is becoming more valuable to construction firms every day. As compliance requirements, safety and liability concerns become more prevalent, more and more projects require the need for documented proof, systems and operations walkthroughs, and general video progress reports for payment and protection, and that all of these be done by a non-biased third party.

Use of an independent media company such as Ogden Communications, who knows construction and specializes in shooting clear video, sound and narration, is critical to getting good documentation with validity. Great quality HD video packages can be used to save your company big money, now and down the line.

What makes Ogden Communications the Best Choice?

You’re the boss, we work just like another division in your firm, as we have worked for some of the largest companies in the world, from Disney to most major television networks. We have worked construction, both from behind the camera and as a laborer on a platform 20 stories high. We have documented the building of projects from schools to prisons. This experience on both sides makes us uniquely qualified to be your construction firm’s resource for all media needs and questions. Unlike many video production companies, we know the construction industry firsthand. We know where the fire systems are located, as well as where the white balance is on the camera, we know what OSHA stands for and when a wireless mic is hot.

And we’ll make sure you’re up-to-date on all the different ways professional video documentation can help you save and make money, and stay protected. Construction videos don’t have to be expensive, and they don’t have to be done by an employee with a shaky hand and a camera any longer.

We have developed a shooting package for onsite construction projects that nobody can touch. We deliver HD video and sound for your Construction DVD’s. We provide a professional finished product that looks like any digital DVD you’d find in your local video store.

What if?

Don’t learn you should have protected yourself after the fact. Document everything so you never have to deconstruct what you put so much time and money into constructing.

After all, there’s no need to dig up pipes or tear down walls to check work or find problems if you can reference those items specifically on video.

And your customers will benefit in more ways than they know. We’ve seen it. For instance, say your customer isn’t sure how to use a system in his/her new building. Because they have video documentation of those walkthroughs they can simply refer to a video and avoid costly mistakes such as voiding their warranty by using something improperly. These are real cases, they happen everyday and costs customers thousands which, in turn, costs you.

What We Do

Pre- and Post-Construction Video:

  • Protect yourself by documenting the condition of the property before and during construction, and through completion. If your work is ever called into question, pre-construction video is an inexpensive insurance policy against such claims. Don't let your video become questionable in court due to shaky, dark or hard to hear and follow shots which are difficult, if not impossible, to index.
  • If damage should occur for any reason, video documentation can be used as a tool to restore the area to its original condition.

Compliance with the Law:

  • OSHA is advocating more and more video proof of compliance with codes. A construction video can show evidence of this through all phases of construction. Document whether work was done to code. This document will verify compliance with the law and project requirements and help you to avoid future disputes.

Progress Videos:

  • Many banks and lenders are now asking for video to confirm that certain work is done before releasing funds. Banks often want proof that certain parts of a project are completed before paying. We can provide that proof of progress.

Equipment Costs:

  • Document wear and tear on your equipment for tax reasons.

Sales & Marketing:

  • Video is a powerful marketing tool that shows your firm’s competence and helps establish or maintain a professional reputation for quality work.
  • We can time lapse footage of your build or document construction highlights for sales and marketing purposes.

Record System Operations:

  • When your building project is ready to be turned over to the customer and you and your subs are reviewing portions of the contract, such as like fire systems, security, elevators, ac system, etc, why not provide the buyer/owner with a video record of the training?
  • This video can then be used for easy reference by your client – eliminating many calls to your service department.
  • Documenting system operation, safety and equipment walkthroughs also show compliance with code specifications and can help to protect you legally.

Operations, Equipment and Safety Training:

  • Record these procedures for future use and reference by new employees, in addition to safety refreshers.

About OCI

Construction is the biggest business in the world, but most companies have very little knowledge or experience with video, media and web.  And most video, media and web companies have little, if any, experience with construction.

Ogden Communications does…

We have been working with construction companies building schools, prisons, highrises, dorms and libraries. We deliver HD video and clear audio and we don’t kill you on the price. We want to work with your company on all facets of your media presence.

I started Ogden Communications more than 10 years ago and since then the company my wife and I started has become one of the top providers of Teleprompting solutions in the country. We have produced commercials/infomercials, teleprompting and more for companies such as Disney, networks such as ABC and HBO, The Grammys, George Bush and even Oprah. We have shot systems operations video for Eckerd College, Largo Library, The Marathon Fire Station, St. Petersburg College and many others.
 
But prior to beginning OCI, I worked high-rise construction from the age of 15 to 29. I mixed mud, sandblasted and pressure washed – usually from a stage 20 floors above the street. I apply the same work ethic to video production as I did to working construction and after 10 years have built a successful Video Production business, simply by outworking the next guy.  It has come full circle for me.
