Record the work
before the next layer.

Record the plot, existing buildings, visible ground levels, established trees and access from agreed viewpoints. Include the immediate surroundings where permission allows, so later changes have a clear starting reference.

Keep alongside your recording: The dated site survey, existing-condition photographs and agreed recording boundary.

For an alteration or extension, record the rooms, junctions with the existing house and visible finishes. A repeat view later can show how the original space and the new work connect.

Keep alongside your recording: Existing drawings and any condition report arranged by the owner.

Visible investigation positions and survey markers can add context to the initial record. A camera cannot establish soil bearing capacity, locate every buried service or replace a geotechnical investigation.

Keep alongside your recording: The geotechnical report, survey and underground-service information supplied by the professionals.

Agree the spaces and milestones that matter to you: concealed services, changes to the structure or a finish you want documented. Link the recording plan to the current drawings rather than an outdated design.

Keep alongside your recording: Current drawing revisions, specifications, selections and the agreed scope of work.

Identify who authorises access, who coordinates the trades and how short-notice changes will be communicated. Agree useful viewpoints and any areas or people that should stay outside the recording.

Keep alongside your recording: The site contact, access arrangements and the team’s applicable approvals and inspection programme.

Show the entrance, delivery route, temporary fencing, storage and the agreed walking route. This provides context for later recordings without making the camera visit part of site-safety management.

Keep alongside your recording: The site layout and the responsible person’s access instructions.

Capture the change from the existing site to cleared ground, or from the original rooms to a stripped interior. Keep retained features in view. Demolition zones must be released for safe access before recording.

Keep alongside your recording: The demolition or removal scope and any specialist reports the team requires.

Record the proposed footprint, profiles and identifiable level references in relation to the site. These views help explain the layout later, but the surveyor or responsible professional confirms positions and levels.

Keep alongside your recording: The setting-out information and the relevant drawing revision.

Record the extent of excavations, changes to the ground and the developing platform from safe viewpoints. Large changes may justify more than one visit, especially where different parts of the house sit at different levels.

Keep alongside your recording: Earthworks drawings, survey levels and the contractor’s work records.

Show the ready platform and visible routes used to manage water around the work. The appearance of fill does not establish compaction or suitability; those results belong with the responsible team’s records.

Keep alongside your recording: Compaction results, formation approvals and the current drainage arrangements, where applicable.

Record the visible excavation layout, changes in depth and junctions between foundation areas from the permitted route. Include enough surrounding context to recognise each location later; do not enter an excavation for a better angle.

Keep alongside your recording: The foundation design and the professional’s founding inspection record.

Where the design uses piles or another specialist system, record accessible positions and visible connecting work. Much of a pile is never visible to a walk-through camera, so installation records remain especially important.

Keep alongside your recording: Specialist layouts, installation logs and the engineer’s records.

Capture the visible prepared base, formwork and interfaces with adjacent work. Different foundation systems expose different layers; ask the builder which of those layers will disappear next.

Keep alongside your recording: The relevant detail drawings and any recorded changes to the foundation arrangement.

Record the reinforcing arrangement, starter bars and visible sleeves or cast-in positions with their location in the house. The record supports later discussion; it does not verify steel size, cover, strength or compliance.

Keep alongside your recording: Reinforcement drawings, the required inspection record and concrete documentation.

Show the completed foundation work, wall layout and changes in level. Photographing only the finished slab later would miss this relationship between the below-ground work and the house above it.

Keep alongside your recording: Foundation and masonry records, including any instructed design changes.

Record accessible retaining faces, joints, visible waterproofing and drainage components serving the home. Agree the route before work is covered; separate site-wide retaining works need a scope discussion.

Keep alongside your recording: The retaining design, waterproofing system information and specialist inspection records.

Record visible drain runs, junctions, sleeves and service entry points beneath the future floor. Include room or grid references. The video is a location reference, not a reliable substitute for measured as-built information.

Keep alongside your recording: Drainage layouts, trade test records and measured service-route information.

Capture the prepared fill and bedding across the footprint, including areas around service trenches. A later image of the top surface cannot show every earlier layer or prove that compaction was achieved.

Keep alongside your recording: Compaction reports and the team’s records of the materials and layers used.

Where the design or project specification calls for treatment, the record can show the accessible area and its place in the programme. A video cannot identify an invisible treatment, its concentration or its effectiveness.

Keep alongside your recording: The specialist’s treatment record and product information, where applicable.

Record visible membrane edges, junctions, penetrations and insulation in relation to the footprint. A damp-proof course in walling and a membrane below the floor may be installed at different times.

Keep alongside your recording: The floor and wall details, specified products and relevant inspection records.

Show the visible reinforcement, edge forms, openings and embedded components. If underfloor heating is within this build-up, coordinate with that installer before it is covered. Keep the recording separate from the pour authorisation.

Keep alongside your recording: The slab design, cast-in layouts and any pre-pour or service-test records.

Record the floor footprint, visible joints, openings and service positions as the base for the rooms above. Use repeat viewpoints to relate this stage to the earlier preparation and later wall layout.

Keep alongside your recording: Concrete delivery and test records, surveys and the team’s slab inspection notes.

Record the first wall courses, room divisions, door openings and their relationship to the slab. This is a useful point to connect room names with the locations used in later recordings.

Keep alongside your recording: The current floor plan and recorded layout changes.

Capture accessible masonry, cavities and visible ties as walling progresses. External and internal faces may be built at different times. A finished wall surface will not show what was inside a cavity.

Keep alongside your recording: Wall details, specifications and the responsible team’s inspection records.

Record accessible reinforcement, formwork and connection positions within the structure. Keep the overall room context as well as closer views that can be captured safely from the agreed route.

Keep alongside your recording: Structural drawings, connection details and required professional sign-offs.

Show the visible work over and around windows and doors, including supporting walls and adjacent structure. The record can help locate a detail later; the design team determines whether the support is suitable.

Keep alongside your recording: Opening schedules, lintel details and any approved changes.

Where used, record studs, bracing, openings and visible connections within the room layout. If sheathing goes on in stages, discuss which face and which connections will still be visible at the planned visit.

Keep alongside your recording: The framing supplier’s drawings and the required erection or inspection records.

Capture accessible insulation, membranes and specified cavity or fire barriers. Different assemblies have different requirements; record what is visible without treating an image as evidence of a system’s thermal or fire performance.

Keep alongside your recording: The specified wall assembly, product information and specialist records.

Record visible shafts, openings and the connections between new and retained work. Include fireplace or chimney construction where it forms part of the home. Existing-building alterations may need their own before-and-after sequence.

Keep alongside your recording: The relevant design details, alteration instructions and specialist installation records.

Record the accessible formwork, beams, joists, precast elements or decking used by the chosen system. Access must be authorised by the site team; temporary supports are not a camera platform.

Keep alongside your recording: The floor-system design, supplier information and installation records.

Show visible reinforcing, stair openings, service sleeves and balcony interfaces. Identify the floor and the rooms beneath so the footage remains understandable once ceilings and finishes hide the construction.

Keep alongside your recording: Structural and service drawings, plus the required pre-pour inspection record.

Record the new level, openings and visible balcony structure before partitions, screeds and waterproofing alter the surface. View accessible undersides from below where they are part of the safe route.

Keep alongside your recording: The team’s floor completion records and any recorded changes.

Capture the stair arrangement and visible support or fixing provisions from protected areas. A later visit can show the completed treads and rails; this earlier stage preserves the underlying arrangement.

Keep alongside your recording: Stair and balustrade details and the responsible installer’s records.

Record visible wall-top supports, plates and anchorage positions from the agreed route. Relate each view to the house elevation or room below so the junction can be found in later conversations.

Keep alongside your recording: Roof and structural details and the team’s inspection records.

Show the overall roof geometry and accessible framing connections. Some views may only be available from below. The recording does not assess stability or replace the roof specialist’s inspection.

Keep alongside your recording: The roof layout, fabrication information and erection or completion documentation.

Capture the visible layers belonging to the specified roof system. Different roofs use different assemblies; some insulation is installed later above the ceiling and needs a separate recording window.

Keep alongside your recording: The specified roof build-up and manufacturer’s installation information.

Record the changing roof outline and the finished covering from safe viewpoints. Wide views establish the overall condition; small fixings or concealed overlaps may not be distinguishable in a 360° recording.

Keep alongside your recording: The product schedule and roofing contractor’s completion records.

Record accessible junctions at walls, chimneys, rooflights and service penetrations. These details can be covered by later work, so ask the roofer which useful views are possible without going onto the roof.

Keep alongside your recording: The roof-detail drawings and the installer’s own close-up photographs.

Show roof edges, finished rainwater goods and the visible route from downpipes toward drainage. Keep the relationship to the walls and ground in frame rather than recording only isolated components.

Keep alongside your recording: The rainwater layout and the relevant installation or completion records.

Capture openings, adjacent walls and visible sill or threshold preparation. Include the room and elevation so a later frame or glazing query has a clear location reference.

Keep alongside your recording: The window and door schedules and the applicable detail drawings.

Record the accessible frame-to-wall interfaces and visible sealing or flashing work. Exact fixing and weatherproofing requirements depend on the system; the installer’s records remain necessary for concealed details.

Keep alongside your recording: The frame installation details and the installer’s photographs or records.

Show completed glazing and doors, their room positions and visible surface condition. Protective films and coverings may limit what can be seen; arrange a later view if the finished appearance matters.

Keep alongside your recording: Glazing and door specifications, delivery records and relevant compliance documents.

Record exposed support or cavity work for the chosen facade and the finished surface later. A single final elevation cannot show the earlier layers behind render, boards or other cladding.

Keep alongside your recording: Facade details, product schedules and specialist installation records.

Capture accessible transitions around openings, changes of material and exterior joints. Use an overall view to locate the detail. The recording cannot establish whether a seal or joint will perform as intended.

Keep alongside your recording: The specified junction details and the responsible trade’s records.

Record visible hot- and cold-water routes, branches, valve positions and pipe entries to rooms. Keep wall and room context. A recording is not an accurate drilling map or a substitute for service detection.

Keep alongside your recording: Measured plumbing layouts and pressure-test records from the responsible trade.

Show accessible branch connections, vertical stacks and transitions between levels. The visible arrangement may help explain a later question, but video does not establish pipe falls, airtightness or system performance.

Keep alongside your recording: Drainage drawings, trade test records and any as-built changes.

Record the positions of visible conduits, switch and socket boxes and routes toward distribution boards. Only authorised trades handle or open electrical equipment; filming does not test or certify an installation.

Keep alongside your recording: Electrical layouts, circuit information and the electrician’s installation records.

Capture accessible routes and outlet positions for communications and security systems. Agree what sensitive security information should be recorded and who may see it. Equipment programming can happen much later.

Keep alongside your recording: The low-voltage layout, cable labels and installer handover information.

Record visible ducts, refrigerant or condensate routes and planned grille positions where present. Include access points the installer identifies. A camera record does not measure airflow or confirm that drainage works.

Keep alongside your recording: The mechanical layout and the installer’s testing and commissioning records.

Show accessible provisions for geysers, heat pumps, solar equipment or an inverter system, where specified. The eventual equipment installation and commissioning are later milestones; do not operate or open equipment for recording.

Keep alongside your recording: System layouts, equipment locations and the relevant specialist’s design information.

Record accessible routes and appliance positions agreed with the specialist. Gas work, flues and other specialist systems need their own competent installers and records; a video does not confirm their safety.

Keep alongside your recording: The applicable specialist layout, test results and completion documents.

Make a room-by-room record of the visible services together, including changes made since an earlier visit. Ask which areas are still incomplete; ceiling closure may need a separate visit from wall closure.

Keep alongside your recording: Updated trade layouts, change instructions and the team’s pre-closure approvals.

Record the visible substrate, shower arrangement, drainage outlets and wall-to-floor interfaces. The surface appearance does not verify falls, moisture condition or suitability for a particular waterproofing system.

Keep alongside your recording: Wet-room details, the selected system and the installer’s preparation records.

Capture accessible membrane surfaces and interfaces around corners, outlets and pipe penetrations. Agree the best timing with the installer; a visual record does not prove membrane thickness, continuity or watertightness.

Keep alongside your recording: Product and application records, plus any specified test results.

Where these areas form part of the home, record visible junctions, thresholds and outlets from a safe route. Some layers will be hidden before others are complete, making more than one recording window useful.

Keep alongside your recording: The specified build-up, installer records and relevant test documentation.

Record accessible floor preparation and any specified heating or insulation before enclosure, then the completed screed where useful. Keep the sequence linked to the rooms rather than assuming one whole-house completion date.

Keep alongside your recording: Floor-build-up details and installer or test records for concealed systems.

Capture visible insulation, acoustic layers and specified fire stopping around accessible penetrations. The design determines what is needed; a camera cannot verify a fire rating or inspect every hidden junction.

Keep alongside your recording: The specified assemblies and the responsible trades’ inspection records.

Record the final exposed arrangement before linings go on, followed by the completed room surfaces. Note accessible hatches and access panels. Wall plaster and ceiling closure may occur at different stages.

Keep alongside your recording: The ceiling or partition layouts and updated concealed-service information.

Record visible preparation, room transitions and the intended extent of each finish. Substrate moisture or readiness needs the installer’s own checks; its appearance alone is not a test result.

Keep alongside your recording: Finish schedules, layout decisions and installer preparation or moisture records.

Show the layout, junctions, edges and completed visible surfaces in each room. A final image cannot show the hidden adhesive bed or waterproofing beneath, so retain earlier recordings where those layers matter.

Keep alongside your recording: Tile or stone selections, layout approvals and installation records.

Record the chosen finish, visible transitions and completed rooms. Protective coverings may conceal the final appearance. Discuss a later clear view without asking the team to remove protection prematurely.

Keep alongside your recording: Product details, installation information and care instructions.

Capture cabinet locations, accessible service points and visible spaces behind or below units during installation. Return to the completed arrangement if comparing the installed result with the room layout is useful.

Keep alongside your recording: Joinery drawings, appliance requirements and recorded changes to the layout.

Record the positions of sinks, appliances, joints and fitted surfaces. Include the surrounding cabinets and walls for context. The installer remains responsible for technical checks and the suitability of the work.

Keep alongside your recording: Templates or approved layouts, material selections and care information.

Record doors, storage, skirtings, architraves and finished stairs room by room. Include visible junctions and the relationship to adjacent finishes so later questions refer to a specific place.

Keep alongside your recording: Door and joinery schedules and the agreed ironmongery selections.

Capture the completed room appearance and visible changes in colour or material. Lighting and video playback affect colour; use the actual sample or product specification for exact colour decisions.

Keep alongside your recording: Paint references, approved samples and any specialist coating information.

Show basins, baths, toilets, showers and accessible valves in their completed surroundings. Record the location of access panels without opening sealed or restricted components.

Keep alongside your recording: Product information, plumbing completion records and maintenance instructions.

Record the visible fitting locations and closed distribution equipment. Leave covers and switches as the responsible person directs. Electrical compliance and testing remain the electrician’s responsibility.

Keep alongside your recording: Circuit schedules, equipment manuals and the applicable electrical completion documents.

Show accessible equipment locations, surrounding clearances as visible and the route to routine access points. Avoid entering unsafe ceiling spaces; the installer can provide detailed photographs of inaccessible work.

Keep alongside your recording: Installation, commissioning and maintenance records supplied by the installer.

Record visible equipment positions and accessible external arrangements without opening electrical enclosures. Separate the installed appearance from evidence that the system has been tested or approved.

Keep alongside your recording: The specialist’s commissioning records, manuals and applicable approvals or certificates.

Capture final unit, grille or appliance locations and identified service access. The relevant specialist demonstrates and tests operation; Site Replay’s record does not confirm performance or safe combustion.

Keep alongside your recording: Operating instructions and the specialist’s required testing or completion records.

Record useful outlet and equipment locations only with permission. Keep alarm codes, credentials, screen contents and sensitive security details outside the recording and share access selectively.

Keep alongside your recording: Private system diagrams, installer handover information and owner-controlled credentials.

Show fitted appliances, handles, rails, mirrors, shower screens and other visible accessories. A room-by-room sequence makes it easier to refer to a particular fitting later without treating the footage as an inventory valuation.

Keep alongside your recording: Product schedules, warranties and the agreed list of supplied items.

Record accessible water, electrical, drainage and communication routes within the agreed area. Buried routes need measured records as well; do not rely on a wide-angle image to locate them for future excavation.

Keep alongside your recording: Connection records and measured as-built information from the relevant providers or trades.

Show the accessible relationship between downpipes, channels, gullies and visible drainage components near the house. Keep concealed-stage records separate from the completed exterior view.

Keep alongside your recording: The drainage design, installer records and any applicable approvals.

Where within scope, capture accessible supporting work and the completed exterior spaces. Unprotected edges and temporary access must be resolved by the site team before a recording route is used.

Keep alongside your recording: Structural or fixing details and relevant installer completion records.

Record the visible base preparation where included, followed by surfaces beside the home, thresholds and drainage interfaces. A recording shows appearance and context; it does not measure falls or verify compaction.

Keep alongside your recording: Paving layouts, preparation records and the project’s level information.

A build may include boundary walls, fences, gates, irrigation and planting. Discuss which immediate-exterior views can be included; do not assume that a standard visit covers the whole plot or every landscape structure.

Keep alongside your recording: Relevant layouts, buried irrigation routes and the agreed recording boundary.

Pool shells, equipment, detached garages and other separate works may have their own construction sequence. They are listed here so they are not forgotten in the overall build plan; they are not promised within Site Replay’s standard home visit.

Keep alongside your recording: The separate contractor’s dated photographs, drawings and specialist records. Separate buildings and wider site coverage are currently unavailable.

Record the visible condition room by room and the locations of matters the project team wants to discuss. Site Replay does not create a technical snag list, determine contractual completion or assess workmanship.

Keep alongside your recording: The builder’s or appointed professional’s snagging list and agreed actions.

A recording can add context to accessible equipment locations. Keep the installers’ demonstrations, results and written instructions as the authority for operation; a filmed visit cannot replace their tests or commissioning.

Keep alongside your recording: Commissioning reports, operating manuals and service contacts.

Bring together the current drawings, service routes, product details and completion records that apply to the home. This is a document milestone: ask the relevant professionals which certificates and permissions your project requires.

Keep alongside your recording: As-built drawings, warranties, applicable certificates and occupation-related documentation.

Record accessible rooms, finishes, fitted items and the immediate exterior in a consistent sequence. Compare these views with earlier dated visits to understand how the completed spaces came together.

Keep alongside your recording: The agreed handover record, final item schedules and access information kept privately.

Record the visible area involved in an agreed repair or change, using comparable viewpoints. The project team decides whether the issue has been resolved; a later recording only shows what was visible on that date.

Keep alongside your recording: The reported issue, agreed work description and contractor completion records.

Use earlier records to discuss the area, then consider a fresh visit where the current condition matters. Keep original downloads and relevant project documents together. New work may have a different sequence from the original build.

Keep alongside your recording: Maintenance history, new drawing revisions and the dated records relevant to the change.
