What we capture

Construction progress

Repeatable flights from the same positions so you can compare month to month.

Site documentation

Existing site conditions before design or construction starts.

Roof and solar inspections

Close-up imagery of roofs and arrays without putting anyone on the roof.

Commercial real estate

Photos and video of property, access and surroundings for marketing and due diligence.

What we need from you

  • The site address and boundaries
  • What you need delivered: photos, video, maps or models
  • Your dates, and any times to avoid
  • Site contacts and access rules
  • Anything you know about nearby airports or restricted airspace

How it works

  1. Scope. We agree on deliverables, dates and site rules.
  2. Flight planning. We check airspace and get any authorizations the site needs.
  3. Fly. We capture on the agreed schedule, weather permitting.
  4. Deliver. Edited photos, video or maps, shared by download link.

Questions we get

Can you fly near airports?

Often, with authorization. Send the address early and we check the airspace before we quote.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We reschedule. Flights only go ahead when conditions are safe.

Can drone data be combined with laser scans?

Yes. Aerial capture covers roofs and site, and terrestrial scanning covers the building, so the two together give a complete picture.
