Construction & Phasing
Show how it goes up — the frame, the crane, the first panel on the hook.
Before a building exists it has to be built, and people need to picture that too: neighbours, clients, a site induction, a phasing plan. Construction & Phasing shows the building mid-build, from groundworks to finishing, and as a storyboard of its phases.

Starting from your model
A Rhino capture of the finished massing from the chosen viewpoint (the model 'unbuilds' it to the stage), or a real site photo for Street-side hoarding and Retrofit in progress..
Describe the finished building and how it's built; the stage and lifting options set the moment.
Try these
- Timber going up · Frame · Clear morning · Tower crane: "six-storey CLT housing on a concrete podium, the third floor of panels going up"
- Phasing storyboard · Dense city: "a school extension built in three phases around a working playground"
- Street-side hoarding · Overcast with a site photo: "a timber hoarding with windows for passers-by along the length of the site"
