Construction photos: How often should you update project images?

Companies have old photographs while construction is underway, but the website, social media, and marketing materials continue to show an earlier stage.

A project under construction is constantly changing.

Therefore, a photograph taken six months ago may no longer represent the current reality.

What should be documented?

  • Project launch.

  • Excavation.

  • Structure.

  • Significant progress.

  • Facilities.

  • Facades.

  • Common areas.

  • Landscaping.

  • Final stages.

  • Project completed.

Why does it matter?

The updated images are useful for:

  • Website.

  • Social networks.

  • Presentations.

  • Investor reports.

  • Press releases.

  • Materials for runners.

  • Advertising campaigns.

  • Historical documentation of the project.

A company shouldn't only think about:

“We need new photographs.”

I should think:

“We need to build a visual archive that documents the evolution of the project.”
