Service · Construction progress reporting
Construction progress reporting, flown to a schedule.
The same flight plan, the same altitude, the same angles — every visit. So month three lays over month one perfectly and change is obvious in a glance.
Why repeatability is the whole thing
Anyone can take a photo. The value is in taking the same one again.
A folder of nice aerial shots from random angles is a scrapbook. A set flown to the same plan every month is a record.
We save the mission — the grid, the altitude, the camera angles, the orbit positions — and fly it again identically. Put two visits side by side and the only thing that changed is the building. No mental correction for a different angle or a different time of day.
That is what makes it useful for a draw request, a schedule dispute, or an owner three states away who wants to see the steel go up.
What a report contains
Same package, every visit.
Current orthomosaic
A measurable top-down map of the whole site as of that day, aligned with every previous one.
Set-angle stills
The same four to eight vantage points every visit, so the sequence plays like a time lapse.
Progress notes
A short written summary of what visibly changed since the last flight. Reads in a minute.
Optional video
A short edited flyover for the people who would rather watch than read.
Who reads it
Usually four different audiences at once.
- The owner. Wants to see the money turning into a building without a site visit and a hard hat.
- The lender. Wants dated, independent evidence before releasing a draw. A measurable map is a great deal more convincing than a photo from a phone.
- The project team. Wants to catch the sequencing problem while it is still cheap.
- The record. Wants to exist on the day a claim is filed, two years from now, about what was in the ground in June.
Setting the cadence
During mass grading and structure, monthly is usually the sweet spot — enough changes between flights to be worth looking at. Through a fast vertical phase some teams go biweekly.
Interiors change faster than the outside of a building does, so there is a point late in a job where the flights stop earning their keep. We will tell you when you have reached it.
