Core Services & Workflows
Click to expand details
Progress monitoring (weekly/biweekly photo & video reports)
- Standardized flight plans for consistent vantage points across weeks.
- Side‑by‑side comparisons, milestone callouts, and site notes.
- Shareable web galleries plus owner/GC PDF snapshots.
Orthomosaic mapping (as‑built vs. design overlay)
- Georeferenced orthos aligned to site control.
- Overlay of as‑built conditions against design sheets for variance checks.
- Exports: GeoTIFF, Web tiles, PDFs, and plan‑sheet overlays.
Cut/fill analysis & grade verification • Stockpile volumetrics & earthwork calculations
- Compare surface models to design grades for over/under reports.
- Stockpile breaklines, toe/crest digitizing, and per‑pile volumes.
- Deliverables: CSV tables, heatmaps, CAD surfaces (DSM/DTM), contours.
DSM/DTM, contour lines, and CAD/BIM integrations
- Surface deliverables for Civil 3D, MicroStation, Revit, and Navisworks.
- 1‑ft/2‑ft contours, breaklines, and graded regions.
- Clash‑aware exports to coordinate trades with confidence.
Sitework sequencing timelapses
- Fixed‑position flights to show grading, utilities, and vertical progress.
- Phase overlays with captions for owner/board updates.
QA/QC visual inspections (rebar, forms, concrete, MEP placement)
- High‑resolution stills for pre‑pour verification and embed checks.
- Annotated markups for RFIs and field direction.
RFI/CO support imagery and annotations
- Before/after documentation, cloud‑hosted albums, and direct links for RFIs.
- Evidence packs to support cost adjustments and schedule impacts.
Crane & laydown planning from overheads • Pre‑bid & pre‑con documentation
- Overhead maps for crane swing, rigging paths, and laydown areas.
- Baselines for logistics plans, site fencing, and phasing.
Safety audits (PPE, housekeeping, trenching, edge protection)
- Photo evidence aligned to checklist items and OSHA references.
- Hotspot callouts for toolbox talks and corrective actions.
Traffic, access & haul‑road condition mapping • Utility mark‑out visualization & clash previews
- Daily/weekly haul‑road status with soft‑spot callouts and detours.
- Overlay paint marks and subsurface data to anticipate conflicts.
Closeout as‑built photogrammetry/3D models • Marketing visuals (hero shots, motion titles, FPV fly‑throughs)
- Colorized 3D models and orthos for turnover packages.
- Launch‑ready content: aerial hero images, reels, and FPV tours.

- Video: 4K reels, FPV fly‑throughs, branded motion titles.
FAQ
How often do you fly for progress monitoring?
Weekly or biweekly is typical. We keep identical camera positions so comparisons are meaningful.
Can you integrate with our CAD/BIM stack?
Yes. We export for Civil 3D, MicroStation, Revit, Navisworks, and GIS platforms.
What about safety and site coordination?
We coordinate with the GC/PM, respect site safety plans, and provide our own JSA/flight logs.
