Pre-Construction Documentation
Common Questions
What is pre-construction video documentation?
Pre-construction video documentation is a recorded walkthrough of a project site – capturing the existing above-ground conditions before any construction work begins. It creates a verified, timestamped record of the area that protects contractors if property damage claims or disputes arise later.
Why do contractors need pre-construction documentation?
Without documentation, a contractor has no way to prove the condition of a work area before the job started. If a property owner files a damage claim – even one that’s completely unfounded – you’re defending yourself without evidence. Pre-construction documentation eliminates that problem before it starts.
Is ARS Video's documentation admissible in court?
Yes. Every file ARS Video produces is litigation-ready. We maintain a strict chain of custody on all original recordings and embed verified date and time stamps directly into the footage. This ensures the documentation holds up in any legal proceeding.
What types of projects does ARS Video document?
We primarily serve gas line, road resurfacing, and water and sewer infrastructure projects. If you’re breaking ground on anything that touches a public or private right-of-way, we can document it.
What areas of Ohio does ARS Video serve?
ARS Video is based in Tallmadge, Ohio and serves contractors across Northeast Ohio and throughout the state. We also cover Midwest projects – contact us to discuss coverage for your specific project location.
