I field a lot of calls for HABS, HAER or HALS photography services so I wanted to put the fourteen most important questions for a HABS photography project out there. This will help you get the fastest and most complete estimate and if you\u2019re getting competitive bids, every photographer will be quoting the same project, apples to apples. These are the basic questions I\u2019ll be asking when you ask for a price for documentary photography plus there will be specific questions on every job such as schedule and logistics. <\/div>\n

Of course the most important question is HOW MANY VIEWS<\/strong><\/em> but the other thirteen will help in terms of accuracy and avoiding surprises and upcharges.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
1. Number of HABS\/HAER\/HALS views required (or range) :<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
9. What is the underlying project or change that requires documentation is there a HSR, 523s or survey you can share :<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
10. Is there an MMP, MOA, EIR or mitigation requirement for the documentation and can you supply the text :<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
11. Daylight hours of access permitted (7AM to 7PM is ideal) :<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

12. Access issues: dirt roads, boarded windows, locked access gates, security clearance or escort required : <\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

Take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions<\/a> section of my website if you\u2019d like more details about what to expect in planning and carrying out a documentation to Historic American Buildings Survey, Historic American Engineering Record or Historic American Landscapes Survey documentation photography standards. Large Format photography that conforms to the HABS\/HAER\/HALS photography guidelines is still the only type of photographic documentation that meets the Secretary of the Interior\u2019s Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation.<\/div>\n
