Overview

Process & Results

For this extensive hospital construction, we installed six Gilman 4K construction cameras to monitor all the various sections of the project. In addition, we captured one drone video each month throughout the duration. The large volume of content offered the client impressive aerial time-lapse visuals illustrating the project's development.

At the 18-month point of construction, the client requested a video to showcase the project's progress. This video emphasized the advancements made for all project stakeholders, including Kaiser executives, board members, doctors, administrators, lenders, and the Downey community.

We took monthly photographs from the same viewpoint, which the Kaiser team incorporated into their monthly reports to demonstrate progress to senior management. Beyond the videos and photos, we produced 2D and 3D site mappings each month. The up-to-date visuals from the 3D models and 2D maps were utilized by the construction team during weekly meetings, job site orientations, and subcontractor discussions.
