Construction Progress
Construction progress drone photography in New Jersey.
Scheduled aerial documentation of New Jersey builds from the same positions and altitudes on every visit, from the pre-construction baseline to the finished project.
Consistency is what makes it useful
If the angle or altitude changes from month to month, the images can't be compared. We save the GPS positions, altitudes, and camera headings from your first flight and repeat them on every visit, so the steel that wasn't there in March is clearly there in April, in the same frame.
One flight, several uses
The same flight supplies the owner's monthly report, the lender's draw package, the contractor's marketing, and a dated record in case of a dispute. Files are organized by date and position, so a project manager can add them to a report without renaming anything. By completion, the images for your marketing and grand-opening materials already exist.
Coordinated with your site
We coordinate with the superintendent, launch from outside active work areas when possible, and don't need cranes stopped or crews moved. Most visits take under an hour. For sites inside controlled airspace near Newark Liberty or Teterboro, we obtain the FAA authorization for each visit.
Progress video
A short progress video, such as an orbit compared with last quarter's, gives investors a quick visual update. See the $8M custom home build for the format, and the video production page for how editing works.
Progress documentation questions
How often should a construction site be flown?
Monthly suits most projects: often enough to show steady progress, far enough apart to show real change. Fast vertical phases may justify biweekly flights; sitework and closeout can run less often. We'll recommend a schedule from your construction timeline and adjust it as phases change.
Will the photos line up from month to month?
Yes. That consistency is what makes progress photography useful. We fly saved GPS positions at the same altitudes and headings on each visit, so January and June compare frame for frame, and before-and-after sliders line up cleanly.
Can you document the site before ground breaks?
We recommend it. A pre-construction baseline documents existing conditions (neighboring structures, grades, and drainage) in case of a later dispute, and gives the progress record its starting point.
Who uses the imagery besides marketing?
Mostly project teams: owner's reps verifying pay applications, lenders tracking draws, project managers briefing owners who can't visit, and attorneys when a dispute needs a dated visual record. One flight serves all of them.
