There’s something special about seeing a project come to life from start to finish, and nothing captures that story quite like a time-lapse. We recently had the chance to showcase exactly that with a major build in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, where a once-derelict piece of land has been transformed into the impressive Northern Gateway Enterprise Centre.
Our team set up a full construction timelapse Midlands solution, carefully capturing every stage of the build over many months. The result is a complete visual record of the transformation, from groundwork to the final touches, and it’s the kind of project that shows why timelapse has become such a powerful tool for construction companies.
Alongside the fixed-position cameras, we also brought in drone footage to add perspective from above, giving the finished film a sense of scale and drama. Drone shots allow us to highlight the wider impact of a build, showing not just the structure itself but how it changes the surrounding area. In Chesterfield, the aerial views really showed how the new Enterprise Centre has redefined the site.
At Stag Communications, we specialise in construction timelapse across the Midlands, working with clients on projects of all sizes. From large enterprise developments like this one, through to smaller community projects, our approach is the same: reliable kit, consistent monitoring, and films that bring your work to life. Being based in the East Midlands puts us in a great position to support clients across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and beyond.
What makes timelapse so effective is that it doesn’t just record a build, it tells the story of progress and achievement. For contractors, developers, and councils, it’s a way of showing the public and stakeholders the scale of what’s been achieved. For us, it’s about delivering films that are creative, reliable, and professional, every time.
The Northern Gateway Enterprise Centre project is a great example of how timelapse and drone work together to create something both useful and visually striking. We’re proud to have played our part in capturing the transformation of such an important development for Chesterfield.
