Construction Progress

Repeatable viewpoints so month-over-month progress, staging, and site context are comparable — not a new angle every visit. The sample packet is NJDOT’s North Munn Avenue Bridge over I-280 and the adjacent Crossings at Brick Church Station.

Plan a Mission

01

Brief

We collect the mission goal, the site, and the window from you first. A listing still, a month-over-month jobsite set, a claim file, a roof packet, and an orthomosaic are five different flights. Where and when matter as much as what.

02

Authorize

Airspace class, LAANC on the live UAS Facility Map, Part 107 Waivers, TFR and National Security Event notices, and local permits (NYPD for New York City operations, property/GC access, venue clearance). Coordination happens here — not on the pad.

03

Conditions

Day-of weather, TFRs, National Security Events, and NOTAMs can change an approval that looked clean the night before. This is the GO / NO-GO gate. Authorization is planning status, not a launch.

04

Fly

Capture from the viewpoints the brief and the authorization actually allow — stills, film, or a mapping grid. The aircraft comes down when the coverage for the deliverable is in the card, not when the battery is empty.

05

Process

After the flight: cull, color, align, and reconstruct. Photogrammetry, 3D site models, construction tracking sets, and inspection packets are built here. The deliverable is prepared for the client’s review workflow.

06

Deliver

Stills, film, orthomosaics, DEMs, 3D models, progress comparisons, and reports — organized to the specification in the brief. This is the product the client files, presents, or sells. Flying is only half the job.

Planned around the operating need

Useful visual context, with clear boundaries.

Repeatable viewpoints so month-over-month progress, staging, and site context are comparable — not a new angle every visit. The sample packet is NJDOT’s North Munn Avenue Bridge over I-280 and the adjacent Crossings at Brick Church Station.

Built for Owners, GCs, lenders, and project managers. Every assignment begins with the decision the media needs to support, the site, access, requested timing, and intended output.

Typical deliverables

  • Scheduled progress stills
  • Site-wide context
  • Shareable stakeholder set
  • Optional orthomosaic
  • 3D site model on request
  • Aerial + ground field film

Altitude Changes Everything

From Rooftops to Bottom Lines.

Tell us the site and the decision the media has to support. We will scope the flight, the deliverables, and whether it is operationally feasible under Part 107.
