Roof Replacement Time-Lapse Ireland Complete Project Documentation Case Study
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Client: LyMar Contracts Ltd
Location: Foynes Flying Boat Museum
Service: Time-Lapse Documentation (Time-Lapse + Drone + FPV)
Project Type: Roof Replacement / Heritage Building
Roof Replacement Project Delivered for LyMar Contracts Ltd
This project required a structured documentation approach to ensure that all stages were captured clearly and consistently. By installing early and maintaining continuous coverage, the full scope of the work was recorded without gaps, providing a reliable visual timeline of the project.
The Challenge
This project presented several important challenges:
A preparation phase before visible construction began
A relatively short project duration
The need to document the full process, not just key stages
Capturing both external progress and internal completion
Without early installation, a significant portion of the project would not have been recorded.
The Solution
A structured capture approach was implemented:
Early installation before construction activity began
Continuous time-lapse capture across all phases
Use of a dual camera system for wider coverage and reliability
Drone footage captured at installation and completion stages
Interior FPV flythrough to document the completed structure
This ensured a complete and uninterrupted visual record from start to finish.
What Was Captured
Site preparation and early-stage works
Full roof removal and replacement
Continuous progression across the entire timeline
External drone footage before and after completion
Internal finished roof structure using FPV
How the Content Was Used
The visual content delivered value throughout the project:
Progress updates for the client using clear visual records
Improved communication compared to static site images
Marketing content captured during the build
A final video aligned with project completion and potential public-facing use
Final Deliverables
130-second fully edited video
Combined time-lapse and drone footage
Interior FPV sequence
High-resolution images extracted from the time-lapse
Social media-ready video asset
Why This Matters
Roof replacement projects are often short in duration and not fully documented.
This project demonstrates that even within a three-month timeframe, it is possible to create a complete visual record that supports:
Project communication
Client reporting
Marketing and portfolio use
The value comes from capturing the full process, not just isolated moments.
