Construction site progress can be shared with clients and partners through three formats: time-stamped private links giving access to a real-time view of the site, periodically generated videos, and embeddable iframes directly on a website or client portal. myTikee, the Enlaps cloud platform paired with the Tikee timelapse camera, natively integrates these three sharing modes without requiring third-party software.

Why Visually Share Construction Site Progress?

A site meeting report or text dashboard is not enough to give external stakeholders a reliable view of the actual state of the work. The project owner, investor, end client, or real estate developer cannot visit the site at every phase and relies on information sent by field teams.

Visually sharing progress serves three functions that text reporting cannot cover: it provides visual proof of the site's real state on a given date, it reduces ad-hoc information requests from clients and partners, and it serves as a valuable deliverable for site communication on real estate or infrastructure projects.

Teams using an automated visual site monitoring system significantly reduce the number of control visits: the Electra case study (an EV fast-charging station specialist documented by Enlaps) illustrates tracking 400 construction sites across 9 countries from a centralized interface, without systematic on-site presence.

What Sharing Formats Does myTikee Offer?

myTikee offers three sharing formats tailored to distinct usage contexts: Private link, Video export, and Embeddable iframe.

How to Share Site Progress with a Client Without Giving Access to the Platform?

Options allow sharing progress with an external client without creating a myTikee account for them:

• Option 1 - Private link: From myTikee, the project administrator generates a share link for the specific site. This link grants access to the view of the selected project, without giving access to camera settings or other projects on the account.

  
  

• Option 2 - Automatic periodic video: myTikee generates a timelapse video from images captured by the camera. This video can then be downloaded and sent to site stakeholders.

  
  

• Option 3 - Embeddable iframe: myTikee provides an iframe code allowing you to embed the site's timelapse feed directly into a website, client portal, or project extranet. The visitor views real-time site progress directly from the web page, without accessing myTikee.

These options are used by real estate developers to keep buyers informed of their property's progress, and by general contractors to report to project owner clients without site visits.

How to Embed a Construction Site Timelapse into a Website or Client Portal?

myTikee generates an iframe code for each timelapse project. This code can be integrated into any web page in a few minutes without custom development.

• Use case 1 - Real estate development website: The developer embeds the construction timelapse feed on the project presentation page. Visitors and buyers see the actual progress of the work in real time, directly from the website, without accessing myTikee.

  
  

• Use case 2 - Project extranet: The general contractor embeds the timelapse feed into their construction extranet alongside plans, meeting minutes, and schedules. All stakeholders (architect, engineering firms, subcontractors, project owner) view the site from a single platform.

  
  

• Use case 3 - Custom client portal: A construction company creates a client portal dedicated to each project, with the myTikee timelapse feed embedded via iframe. The client accesses their site's progress from an interface branded with the company's visual identity, without interacting with the Enlaps platform.

Iframe integration does not require a myTikee account on the client side and does not grant access to camera settings or other projects under the administrator account.

Which Professionals Use myTikee Sharing and for What Purpose?

Three professional profiles use myTikee sharing features in distinct ways:

• Real estate developers use private links and iframes to keep buyers informed about their home's progress and highlight the project on their commercial website. The site timelapse video is also used as marketing content upon project handover.

  
  

• General contractors also use video exports for site meetings and end-of-phase presentations.

  
  

• Architects and project managers access images via a myTikee link or iframe to verify that work complies with plans at each phase, without systematic site visits.

Does Visual Site Sharing Reduce Stakeholder Travel?

Yes. Permanent access to an updated site view via myTikee eliminates several control trips per quarter for off-site project owners and investors.

The construction sector has high coordination costs, with a significant portion of site managers' time spent on verification travel that could be avoided through remote visual access. Automated visual tracking reduces this workload by providing access to a single source of truth regarding the site's status.

This reduction in travel saves operational time for both parties and serves as a key differentiator for general contractors and developers offering this level of transparency to their clients.

FAQ

How to share construction site progress with a remote client?

Via myTikee: by generating a private link to the site's timelapse view, sending periodic video updates, or embedding an iframe into a client portal or website. The client accesses real-time progress without travel or a required myTikee account.

Can a construction timelapse be embedded into a website?

Yes. myTikee generates an iframe code that can be embedded into any web page. The site's timelapse feed appears directly on the website without visitors accessing the myTikee platform. This feature is used by real estate developers to showcase construction progress on their marketing sites.

How to give access to a partner or project owner in myTikee without showing them all projects?

By using a private link granting access strictly to that specific project, sending a milestone video, or embedding an iframe into a client portal or website.

Do myTikee exports have contractual value?

Images visible on myTikee are time-stamped. Their exact evidentiary value depends on the contractual and legal context specific to each project.

Which report format to choose for a client or investor presentation?

A timelapse video exported from myTikee is the most suitable format for a client or investor presentation. It condenses the entire progress into a few minutes and provides a visually impactful communication deliverable.

Is myTikee compatible with existing construction extranets?

Yes, via iframe integration. The myTikee timelapse feed embeds into any project extranet supporting HTML code integration. No specific API is required for basic embedding. Integrations with Procore software are also available depending on project needs.
