Colony Construction — Visual Production Proposal

01 — Introduction

A builder's portfolio is the most consequential marketing they own. Future clients don't hire builders from price sheets — they hire from images that show craft, control, and the people behind the work.

This proposal covers all three completed Colony properties under one coordinated production: architectural photography, executive portraits of the Colony team on-location, and a cinematic brand film by Worldclass Creative. One vision, three properties — a portfolio set that reads as deliberately built as the homes themselves.

03 Scope

What is delivered.

i. Architectural Photography By Trevor Melton

Three completed Colony homes, captured as a unified portfolio set.

Coverage built around how the work will be marketed: hero exteriors at golden hour, aerial context, principal interiors, and the architectural details that define Colony's craft. Same eye, same color treatment, same compositional language across all three properties — so the portfolio reads as one cohesive body of work, not three disconnected shoots.

01Hero ExteriorsFront, rear, and signature elevations · ground-level & elevated angles · golden hour priorityPer property
02Aerial PhotographyFAA Pt. 107 · property footprint, context, & signature aerials per homeIncluded
03Principal InteriorsLiving, kitchen, primary suite, signature rooms · natural-light priorityPer property

05Final DeliveryEdited gallery link · portfolio / print-ready · full retouching included5–7 Days

ii. Executive Portraits By Trevor Melton

On-location portraits of the Colony team, composed as part of the architectural set.

Environmental portraits of Colony's leadership and project team — shot on-location at the properties, lit and composed to match the architectural imagery. Not corporate headshot stock. The team appears as part of the work they make: confident, deliberate, and clearly capable of building at this tier.
