A listing shoot shouldn't be a mystery. At Bricks, every standard shoot — regardless of footprint — ships the same core set, then you add what the property needs. Photos only drops drone and the floor plan. No tier guessing, no padded package.
The core set (included on every standard shoot)
HDR photography
Exposure-bracketed, blended interiors and exteriors — the standard for MLS-ready listing photos. Shot to show the space accurately, not just brightly. Volume scales with footprint (more rooms = more frames).
Licensed drone coverage
Aerial exteriors and approach shots, flown under a Transport Canada Advanced RPAS certificate with the right airspace clearance. This is the "wow" frame for most homes and is included, not extra.
Floor plan
A clean, dimensioned floor plan — included on every standard shoot. Buyers reference it constantly; portals surface it prominently.
24–48 hour delivery
Edited, MLS-ready files delivered to your inbox within two business days, with a gallery link for download.
Add-ons you can stack
- Cinematic reel (+$149–249) — a 30–45s motion reel for social and the listing page. Best for reach.
- Virtual tour (+$149–299) — Path walkthrough. You stay on the path. MLS-ready. À la carte add-on; included in Showcase and Full suite.
- Virtual visit (Quoted by sqft) — Free-roam 3D (Gaussian splat). Not a tour. Always a paid add-on. Same bands as photo, reel, and virtual tour (Small ≤1,200 / Mid ≤2,500 / Large ≤4,000 / XL 4,000+). Always a paid add-on — never included in any package.
- Twilight photography (+$150–200) — blue-hour exteriors with lit windows. Best for premium listings.
- Rush delivery (+$75) — faster than the standard 24–48h window.
How a shoot actually runs
- Book: pick your services and a date; we confirm the slot and quote travel up front.
- Shoot: on-site typically 60–90 minutes depending on footprint.
- Edit: HDR blend, drone straighten/colour-match, floor plan drafted.
- Deliver: gallery + download within 24–48h.
What you don't pay for
You don't pay for a "Premium" or "Luxury" tier you didn't need. The core set is the core set; the add-ons are optional. Virtual visit is never bundled into Premium or any other package. Your quote is the sum of what you booked, sized to the property — that's the whole point of à la carte.
"One standard, every time: HDR, licensed drone, and a floor plan. The reel and virtual tour are there when the listing calls for them. Virtual visit is always extra."
FAQ
Is the floor plan really included?
Yes — every Bricks standard shoot includes a dimensioned floor plan at no extra charge. Photos only drops drone and the floor plan.
What if I only want photos, no drone?
Licensed drone is part of the core set because it's the highest-impact frame for most homes; if a listing genuinely doesn't suit aerials, tell us at booking and we'll tailor the shoot.
How many photos do I get?
It scales with footprint — a condo gets fewer frames than an estate. You'll see the full set in the delivery gallery; tell us if you need a specific count for a portal.
