This is useful for documenting completed work that will be covered up or enclosed, like electrical work, auxiliary work, and other structural work like foundations.\nThis is relevant to workplaces like construction sites and industrial or manufacturing plants, where photos can settle disputes over what was built, when, and to what standard.
