BUILD A USEFUL RECORD

Plan the moments.
Keep the details.

Start with the stage your project is approaching. These resources help homeowners, builders, and remodelers decide what to document, when to arrange a visit, and how to keep the results useful after construction.

Before insulation and drywall

Interior photographs preserve a reference of visible framing, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, and wall blocking. Plan the visit with your builder while the agreed work is exposed. Wide room views establish context, while close-ups show the details you may want to revisit during a repair or remodel. Photo documentation complements the project’s required inspections.

Aerial progress and property context

Aerial views tell a different part of the story: the changing footprint, site access, surrounding land, and progress from one milestone to the next. Pairing dated aerial images with interior records helps owners and project teams understand both the whole property and the work inside it.

Keep the record useful for years

Clear room names, capture dates, and references on a supplied floor plan make photographs easier to find. Agree any field measurements and notes before the visit; a photo alone does not establish a verified dimension. Keep an accessible copy of the delivered files alongside the plans and project information you retain.

Apply the guide to your build

New homes, vacation homes, additions, and renovations each have different milestones. Use these articles to prepare questions, then tell Richie about your location, current stage, and priorities. We can discuss a single visit or a sequence of visits around the work.
