# Three decades, one frame at a time.

Site progress, completed work, and the moments in between. A visual record of what our crews have actually built — pulled from project archives, not stock libraries.

The collection

## Real sites, real teams, real weather.

Every image is from a Meridian Build project — taken by our site photographers across 14 countries between 1998 and last quarter. We update the collection at the close of each completed programme, and we credit every photographer.

If you're a journalist, a student, or a researcher and you'd like high-resolution access to the archive, the press desk replies inside two business days.

Behind the lens

## A standing photographic team, on every flagship programme

For projects over $50m we commission a dedicated site photographer — usually a documentary practitioner — to spend at least one day a month on the build, from groundbreaking through occupancy. The intent is honest record, not marketing collateral. The images we publish here are the same ones the project teams keep on the wall.

Frequently asked

## Gallery & press

- ### Can I licence an image for editorial use?
  
  Yes — for credited editorial use we typically grant non-exclusive rights free of charge, subject to the photographer's approval. Commercial licensing is handled case-by-case. Contact the press desk with the publication, the image, and the intended use.
- ### Are time-lapse and drone footage available?
  
  For most active programmes, yes. We hold the master files and can release stills or short edits with the same conditions as our stills archive. Lead time is two to four weeks.
- ### Can students use these images for coursework?
  
  Absolutely — and we'd rather you ask than scrape. Email the press desk with your institution and the assignment brief, and we'll send a high-resolution selection within a week.
- ### Why aren't all completed projects shown?
  
  Some clients request photographic embargo for security, commercial, or NDA reasons — particularly in aviation and certain healthcare programmes. We respect every embargo, even after handover.
