Document the jobsite with photos

Photo documentation is a builder's cheapest insurance — and with jobsite photos captured straight in ByggExp you never again hunt through a thousand images on your phone when the client asks how it looked behind the wall. You document the jobsite while you stand there, and every photo lands automatically on the right project.

What photo documentation is in ByggExp

Photo documentation means shooting the work continuously — before, during and after — and keeping the images tied to the project. In ByggExp every jobsite photo is stored with its timestamp and project, giving you a visual log of how the work progressed. Ideal when something is inspected, invoiced or questioned later on.

Getting started — step by step

  1. Open the ByggExp app on your phone and go to the project you are working on.
  2. Tap the camera button and take the photo directly in the app, or pick an image from your camera roll.
  3. The photo is tagged to the project automatically — add a short note, for example \"vapour barrier before the pour\".
  4. Save. The photo uploads and becomes visible to everyone on the team with the right access.
  5. Follow up in the web admin, where you see the full photo feed per project and can download or share images with the client.
Snap jobsite photos straight in the app — each image is tied automatically to the right project.

Benefits

  • Everything in one place: photos sit on the project, not scattered across phones.
  • Proof in a dispute: time-stamped jobsite photos show exactly what was done and when.
  • Easier invoicing: document extra work with a photo and skip the arguments.
  • Better overview: the whole team sees the same photo documentation in real time.

Tips

Shoot what is about to be covered up — pipes, cables, vapour barriers and insulation. That is where the photos are worth the most.

Take an overview shot plus a close-up of the same detail, so whoever reads it later understands both where and what.

Write a short note the moment you shoot. After a week nobody remembers what the picture showed.

Frequently asked questions

Can several team members shoot on the same project?

Yes. Everyone with access to the project can add jobsite photos, and the images collect in the same feed no matter who took them.

Where do I find the photos afterwards?

In the web admin you see all photo documentation per project, sorted chronologically, and can download or share it with the client.
