01 / What we do
Every project starts
with a clear record.
From street-level details to an aerial perspective, PCM helps you document existing conditions, follow construction, and record the finished work.
Pre-construction
Post-construction
surveys
Capture conditions after construction for a visual reference during restoration review and project closeout.
Aerial drone
documentation
Put your site in context with aerial coverage that shows the project footprint, access, and surrounding conditions.
Construction
progress updates
Keep stakeholders connected to the work with recurring visual updates as your project moves from start to finish.
A record you can return to
Before questions arise,
capture the answers.
Construction changes a site. A detailed visual record helps everyone start with a shared understanding of its original condition.
Plan your documentation ↗01
Reduce uncertainty
Refer back to documented conditions when questions come up during or after construction.
02
See the site before mobilizing
Give project teams a visual reference for access, staging, adjacent properties, and existing features.
03
Keep everyone on the same page
Support conversations between contractors, engineers, owners, and municipalities with a common visual record.
02 / How it works
A straightforward process.
A stronger project record.
Share your project limits, plans, and schedule. We’ll help define the documentation scope before the work starts.
Define the scope.
Identify the route, facilities, surrounding features, and any project-specific documentation requirements.
Capture the conditions.
Document the agreed project area, including visible site features and relevant surroundings.
Put the record to work.
Use the documentation as a reference throughout construction and coordinate follow-up coverage as needed.
03 / In the field
Real sites.
Lasting records.
Our work covers the places where construction meets existing streets, infrastructure, businesses, and communities.

04 / About PCM
Michigan roots.
A detail-first approach.
Pre-Construction Media provides above-ground audio and video surveys for construction projects throughout Michigan.
Our coverage documents the visible details that matter: streets, buildings, manholes, catch basins, and other features within your project limits. We help preserve a clear view of the site before construction—and document it again when the work is complete.
