Construction projects, regeneration programmes and infrastructure developments unfold over months and sometimes years. Timelapse filming turns that long, complex process into a clear visual story, helping you show progress, keep stakeholders informed and capture the transformation from start to finish.
At Signal, we provide professional timelapse video, photography, drone filming and live site monitoring for projects across Scotland and the UK. We help organisations document progress, communicate with stakeholders and create high-quality content that remains useful long after the work is complete.
From demolition and redevelopment to industrial facilities and major infrastructure, our work helps clients showcase the scale, purpose and impact of their projects.

Timelapse for Infrastructure, Events, Regeneration & Demolition Projects
Infrastructure, regeneration, demolition and large-scale event projects often involve complex logistics, long delivery schedules and multiple stakeholders. Timelapse video provides a clear way to show progress, capture movement and atmosphere, and create valuable content for communications, marketing and legacy purposes.

Featured Project: Shell Tullos Regeneration
When Shell began deconstructing its iconic Tullos complex in Aberdeen, Signal installed four solar-powered timelapse cameras and captured supporting ground-level footage, drone filming and project interviews. The resulting film followed the site’s transformation from closure and strip-out through to demolition and material recycling, helping tell the story of a major chapter in the city’s energy history.
Frequently Asked Question
What is construction timelapse photography?
Construction timelapse photography involves capturing images at regular intervals throughout a project and combining them to create a video showing months or years of progress in minutes.
How does a timelapse camera work on a construction site?
We do a site recce and establish safe fixed mounting points on your site. Our timelapse cameras are installed in fixed locations and automatically capture images throughout the project. These images can be viewed remotely throughout the project, downloaded when needed, and combined into a finished timelapse film at the end.
Can I view my construction site remotely?
Yes. Our live site monitoring systems provide secure online access, allowing authorised users to monitor project progress throughout the build.
How much does construction timelapse filming cost?
Costs vary depending on project duration, camera requirements, site access and the level of video production required. We provide tailored quotations based on individual project needs, with camera packages starting from £250 per month, per camera.
Do you provide drone filming alongside timelapse cameras?
Absolutely. Many clients combine timelapse filming with drone footage, photography and documentary-style video to create richer and more engaging content.
