A render shows what a building is meant to become. A dated photograph shows what it currently is. Only one of those is evidence, and it is the cheaper one to produce.
This page carries a photograph of the site taken each month, from the same positions, so you can scroll back and see the building actually going up rather than a marketing image that has not changed since 2023.

The first month's site photographs — the same three vantage points that every subsequent month will repeat.
We would rather show you nothing than show you something indicative. This space holds the real document as soon as it exists — not a render of what it might look like. Waiting on: Central Point site office.

How to read a construction photograph
- Check the date, and check it is recent. A project publishing photographs from eighteen months ago is telling you something about the last eighteen months.
- Check the vantage point is the same each month. Changing the angle is how a site with no progress is made to look busy.
- Look for the boring things — scaffolding moving up, shuttering being struck, blockwork closing. Those show sequence. Photographs of machinery and workers show activity, which is not the same.
- Come and look yourself. This page is a convenience, not a substitute. Arrange a visit and stand on the site.
What we will publish here
- One set of photographs a month, from fixed positions, dated.
- Delays, when they happen, with the reason. A project that has never reported a delay is a project that is not reporting.
- Nothing generated, nothing enhanced, and no renders.
