The Vision

Last summer, I was approached by Xander Grado, the passionate founder of GCore Construction, with a compelling idea:

“Let’s show people what we actually do—not just the end result, but the transformation.”

Xander wasn’t interested in a generic highlight reel. He wanted to tell a story: the grit, the planning, the execution, and the reveal. His mission was simple—to visually communicate the craftsmanship, teamwork, and excellence that sets GCore apart on the Georgia Coast.

About the Client

GCore Construction is a premier renovation company based on Saint Simons Island, GA. With a focus on high-end home renovations and commercial transformations, Xander and his team specialize in turning their clients’ dreams into tangible, beautiful realities. From interior design partnerships to structural overhauls, their work blends innovation with coastal craftsmanship.

But what really sets GCore apart is their fearless attitude. Xander doesn’t shy away from tough jobs or complex renovations—he embraces the challenge and brings a relentlessly positive mindset to every project.

Our Approach

To capture the scope and scale of the work, we developed a three-phase shoot strategy:

  1. Before – Clean architectural shots, drone footage, and lifestyle context to show the untouched space.

  2. During – Gritty, real-time footage of construction crews at work. Power tools, demolition, framing—it’s all there.

  3. After – Cinematic interior reveals, client walk-throughs, and atmospheric shots showcasing the craftsmanship in perfect light.

We focused on natural lighting, slow cinematic movement, crisp audio, and catchy music to highlight textures, materials, and the human element behind the build.

The Video

This “Before, During & After” renovation video acts as a powerful marketing tool for GCore—one that educates prospective clients, builds trust, and showcases the value of hiring a builder who not only dreams big but delivers.
