A recurring-visit construction progress documentation agreement for photographers and 3D tour providers covering site safety, milestone deliverables, and stakeholder reporting.
Last updated
The Construction Progress Documentation Agreement is a recurring-visit contract template for photographers and 3D tour providers hired to document active construction sites. It governs scheduled site visits — weekly or monthly — and addresses per-visit fees, milestone deliverables, site safety compliance, stakeholder reporting, and intellectual property. The template is structured for long-duration engagements where the same provider returns to a site repeatedly throughout a build cycle.
The Construction Progress Documentation Agreement is appropriate when a photographer or 3D tour creator is retained to make multiple visits to a construction site over weeks or months. Use it when the engagement involves milestone-based deliverables, coordination with a general contractor's safety program, or output distributed to architects, developers, lenders, or other stakeholders — rather than a single-session shoot.

This agreement is entered into between the Service Provider and Client for **recurring photographic and 3D-scan documentation** of an active construction site. It governs all scheduled site visits throughout the project term — whether weekly or monthly — and sets clear expectations for both the construction team and external stakeholders.
Each visit scope covers exterior and interior still photography, 3D spatial scanning (Matterport, iGUIDE, or equivalent), aerial/drone imagery where permitted, and annotated milestone documentation ready for stakeholder distribution.

The agreement establishes a **per-visit base fee**, a non-refundable **mobilization deposit** applied to the final invoice cycle, and a clearly defined payment window. Late invoices accrue a monthly percentage fee, and Service Provider may suspend visits and withhold deliverables until overdue balances are cleared.
Out-of-pocket expenses above a defined per-visit threshold — such as parking, access permits, or specialized PPE — are separately reimbursable.

Before the first visit, the Client must supply the **project-specific Site Safety Plan**, PPE standards, and any mandatory certifications (e.g., OSHA 10/30, ISNetworld, Avetta). Service Provider confirms personnel hold current required credentials and carries general liability insurance at the specified minimum limit.
Clients are responsible for flagging changes to restricted zones or hazardous-materials areas with advance notice. Service Provider personnel always follow the site's general contractor and safety officer — and retain the right to **decline entry to any area deemed unsafe** without fee reduction.
---
Service Provider may postpone or cancel any visit — **without penalty or breach** — when facing active OSHA stop-work orders, blocked site access, structural instability, hazardous-material exposure, or Client's failure to provide safety credentials. The parties must cooperate to reschedule within ten business days, and rescheduled visits from these conditions carry no rescheduling fee.
If site-condition cancellations within Client's control exceed **three occurrences in any 60-day window**, Service Provider may elect to terminate the agreement while retaining all earned fees.
