THE PROBLEM
Photos without
meaning.
Every day, every site takes thousands of photographs. In theory, they document installed materials, equipment, locations, completed work, defects, sign-off. In practice, they arrive at handover as unstructured folders of files named IMG_3847.jpg — and nobody can use them.
