The saying “A picture is worth a 1,000 words” is one of the best known sayings around. On a construction project it can mean more than just words, it can help prove your case if the project goes to litigation.
With the price of digital cameras being so low nowadays, there is no reason not to have at least one on every project depending on the size. Unlike disposable cameras that the film has to be processed, digital cameras are basically free for every picture taken. Anytime there is a question on the project, it should be well documented and plenty of pictures taken. Also, daily photos should be taken to show progress of the project. You never know when one of these photos may capture proof to defend a future litigation case!
The most important thing though is to make sure you transfer the pictures onto a server and CD’s. You don’t want to lose or accidentally delete the pictures that could be worth millions of dollars in court!
