Plaster goes on in a scratch coat, a brown coat, and a finish coat, each with its own trowel and its own timing. The plasterer watches the surface lose its sheen to know when to trowel it tight. Skim coating over drywall is a thinner version of the same idea. Tiling starts with layout lines and a dry fit, then thinset is combed with a notched trowel, tiles are set with spacers, cuts happen on a wet saw, and grout follows a day later with a float and a sponge.
Our head cameras sit close enough to show the trowel angle, the notch pattern, and the sponge pass on the grout. Synchronized fixed cameras from across the room add the layout, the material station, and the saw. We record full days on real residential and commercial sites in five countries, including the waiting periods and the cleanup.
Episodes are cut per wall or per tile field, and steps come with plain-language labels: hawk load, spread, flatten, trowel tight, dry fit, comb thinset, set tile, cut, grout, wipe. Success and failure tags record surfaces that passed a straightedge check against ones that got re-floated, and tile fields with lippage or hollow spots. Trowel, hawk, tile, and hand tracking are optional, and delivery goes into your schema and your storage.
Tradespeople on camera are consented and paid, and the footage is cleared for commercial model training. Request a sample and you will have annotated clips to review by the next business day.
