Pre-Construction Video Documentation
Complete video walkthroughs of your work area – timestamped, chain-of-custody verified, and litigation-ready before a single shovel hits the ground.
Pre-construction video documentation gives contractors a continuous, verified record of every relevant surface, structure, and property boundary in a work area before construction begins. If a property damage claim or dispute arises later, that footage is your evidence.
ARS Video has been producing pre-construction video documentation since 1987. Our process is thorough and consistent – built around what contractors and project managers actually need when a dispute lands on their desk.
Every video walkthrough ARS Video captures is embedded with the exact date and time of documentation. That timestamp is part of the file itself – not a label added afterward. It creates an indisputable record of above-ground conditions at your work area on the day documentation was performed.
Files are maintained in our secure archive under a strict chain of custody. Original recordings are never altered. If documentation is ever needed for a legal proceeding, your files are organized, intact, and ready.
We coordinate directly with your crew to schedule documentation before work begins. Most projects can be turned around within a few business days. For time-sensitive mobilizations, call us directly at 330.633.2255.
