Ephemeros for
Construction & Development Projects
Groundbreaking to ribbon-cutting: a fixed-frame record of your build.
Pick a fixed viewpoint
A “spot” is a documented frame — coordinates, compass heading and tilt — that anyone can find again.
Line up with the ghost
The previous photo floats over your camera so every capture matches the original framing exactly.
Watch change unfold
Aligned photos become a timelapse — and an open, research-grade record of how the place changes.
Every build deserves a timelapse, but dedicated site cameras are expensive, single-angle, and end up on a hard drive nobody opens. Ephemeros does it with the phones already on site.
Create spots at the viewpoints that matter — the site gate, the crane line from across the street, the future lobby — and have the team add a frame on their walk-in. The ghost overlay keeps every shot identically framed without tripods or brackets, and the timelapse builds itself.
On-site and beyond
- Progress documentation with timestamps and locations on every frame — useful for reports, disputes and marketing alike.
- Community relations. A public spot lets neighbours watch the project take shape instead of wondering what's behind the hoarding.
- Multiple angles for free. Spots cost nothing — cover every elevation.
- Keep it private if you prefer. Private spots restrict the record to your own team until you're ready to share.
When the scaffolding comes down, you'll have the whole story — from the first muddy morning to handover.

Real spots from the Ephemeros community — each animation is built from aligned repeat photos.

The best time to take the first photo was years ago. The second-best time is now — and every photo after that gets more valuable.
