Construction monitoring/documentation via webcam

Yes, that's true too, a brief coordination with the companies before commissioning would probably have been much easier. But calling the companies and asking is not that difficult either...

Wow, when it comes to turnkey construction, you usually don't even know "your" craftsmen... And if you do, then the boss/foreman would have to ask his craftsmen... and and and... he can also obtain written consents then

The only option is to install the cam far enough away so that the individuals cannot be recognized

It's actually just about recording from the outside how the house takes shape step by step. And there probably won't be that many people responsible for putting up the walls. You can surely just go over there and tell them that you'd like to make a video like that as a memory. You act as if he wants to build an airport where dozens of companies and hundreds of employees are present.

... no clue about personality rights, right? Terrible, these arguments from people who have no idea. Different rules apply in mass events, possibly even public interest at airports, then (conditionally) allowed. The construction site of a single-family house is in this case the workplace of several individual people, just because Lidl and co behaved unlawfully... blah blah. Now all that’s missing is the argument: they shouldn't be so sensitive...

Don't take it personally right away, it is indeed correct to make him aware of personality rights but if he asks recorded persons for permission, there probably won't be any problems.

Don't take it personally right away, it's correct to point out the personality rights to him, but if he asks recorded people afterwards whether he may do it, there will probably be no problems.

Yes, I can address you personally when you argue in essence: "... it's just a small house construction...", that it is simply wrong thought by you.

Off topic: someone once argued similarly with me that it was "just a small photo" (stolen from the internet and used), which anyone could have taken. That then cost that person a total of €1300 in attorney fees and damages.
