Construction business owners and workers can earn up to $20 per hour for footage of their everyday work with Shift.
A contractor should record only work and locations it can legitimately authorize.
Identify who controls each site
A general contractor, subcontractor, property owner, and tenant may have different rights and responsibilities. Approval from an employee’s supervisor is not automatically approval from everyone who controls the property.
Set a rule: no recording begins until the responsible manager confirms the site, work area, and task are approved.
Build recording into the safety plan
Recording equipment cannot interfere with required protective equipment, visibility, communication, fall protection, machinery controls, or another site rule. If the setup introduces a distraction or hazard, the work should not be recorded.
Keep private information out
Plans, access systems, addresses, client property, faces, vehicle information, and proprietary methods may need protection. Establish off-limit zones and a clear stop-recording procedure.
Give Shift a realistic description
Explain your trade, typical work, team size, and whether jobs happen in a controlled shop or changing customer locations. That is more useful than a long list of every service the company could perform.
Available recording opportunities vary. There is no guaranteed number of paid hours.
Sign up for Shift and describe your construction business or crew role.
