Pre-construction survey

As a construction manager, documenting the condition of the site in advance provides a clear record of the site's pre-work condition. It protects against liability claims for damage not caused by your team's activities.

Dalux Capture uses albums to group photos together, making them easier to find and retrieve later without special software.

Dalux Capture

Use your mobile device to position yourself strategically and create a photo album with multiple photos depicting the surrounding area.

Be sure to include highly exposed objects such as street signs, sidewalks, and facades to document their existing condition.

The recommended approach to make the registrations on the site is to:

  1. Use the map view to navigate to the location to include the surrounding area
  2. Filter for photos before creating your first album to speed up the process
  3. Create multiple albums, one for each location

Each photo album can be named, making it easier to identify them later if problems arise.
