Evidence records

We use the time-lapse from every the evidence system project in our tenders now — it's the part of the submission that clients always mention. You can write that you delivered a complex project on time, but when you can actually show them the whole thing in three minutes, they believe it.
Anonymized evidence record 39.1
Construction tender submissions in the UK, Ireland, and most international markets require photographic or video evidence of comparable project experience. The quality and production value of this evidence increasingly differentiates contractors at shortlist and interview stages.
Anonymized evidence record 39.2
Client interviews for major construction contracts increasingly include a presentation or pitch element at which visual demonstration of capability is expected. Contractors without a strong visual portfolio are at a significant disadvantage against competitors who can demonstrate their methodology through time-lapse and drone footage.

This workflow is currently represented as a qualitative benefit. A parametric cost model should be added only when the assumption set is credible.
