DOCUMENTATION
What is audio-video documentation?
Also known as electography, it is an above-ground audio and visual record of the construction site. Pre-Construction video records conditions before any materials are delivered and before any work begins. This record includes but is not limited to interiors of homes and businesses, driveways, foundations, sidewalks, landscaping, utilities, manholes, existing conditions in ditches, ponding in crop fields, curbs and road surfacing. Progress electrography records conditions as a project is under way. Post-Construction video provides a record of the site after all work and restoration have been completed. Please note that electography is not the same as "TV-ing", which is the internal video-taping of the sewer pipe. CVM does not do any work underground.
How much does it cost?
Often less then the cost of replacing a single driveway (and certainly less than replacing several). Although CVM's equipment is on the cutting edge of technology, our prices remain competitively low. Just contact us and we'll be happy to send you a quote on any job.
Why should I use electography?
Engineers can approach claims with total confidence, knowing that an accurate record of the site exists. Contractors can be more confident their liabilities will be minimized when they approach a jobsite before or after other contractors have been there, and are more responsive in correcting complaints when they are conclusively proven. Property owners, aware that an accurate record is available, are restricted from making fraudulent or exaggerated claims. Electography is a cost-effective insurance that saves time and money for all parties, and can help preserve your valuable reputation.
Why should I hire a professional documentation services?
When you hire Construction Video Media, you are hiring an unbiased third party. This ensures that your record is accurate and will stand up in court if necessary.

What is GPS?
It stands for Global Positioning Satellites. We utilize equipment which incorporates the information from these satellites so that an exact read-out of coordinates appears on your audio-video record.
