Pre-Construction Videos
Construction firms use video to document the pre-condition of the property before they start their work.
The Pre-Construction Video documents existing damage to curbs, streets, sidewalks, driveways, trees, poles, and surrounding structures.
After the bulldozers leave, they sometimes leave cracked sidewalks and tread marks in their wake. Angry homeowners call their city public works agency, and these complaints get forwarded to the construction company. Frequently, homeowners will claim the construction company caused cracks that had been there for years. The homeowner either hadn't noticed the cracks before, or he is trying to get some free patchwork.
With a video recorder in hand, the construction company can easily document the pre-condition of the property prior to their work. A video costing the construction company a few hundred dollars can save them tens-of-thousands of dollars in lawsuits.
Any construction worker can pick up a camcorder and document the properties. But their camera work is shaky, many shots are too dark and they have no way of indexing their tapes to find particular scenes. It is also important that the video was shot by a disinterested third party. Stockton Legal Video is that disinterested third party!
