How can drone imagery help my construction project?

Drone imagery provides comprehensive site overviews without traveling to the location, enables precise measurements of distances, areas, and volumes, allows for side-by-side progress comparisons, enhances reporting with annotated imagery, and helps identify potential problems before they become costly setbacks.

How often should I capture drone imagery of my construction site?

For most construction projects, weekly or bi-weekly captures provide optimal tracking capability. However, this can be adjusted based on your project timeline, complexity, and reporting needs. Our platform makes it easy to schedule regular captures at your preferred frequency.

What deliverables can I expect from construction drone services?

Our construction drone services provide high-resolution orthomosaic maps, 3D models for volumetric calculations, site progress documentation with annotation capabilities, measurement tools for precise distance and area calculations, and comparison tools to track changes over time.

Streamlined Aerial Progress Monitoring

Platform Capabilities for Construction

Orthos & Point Clouds

Automated processing turns raw imagery into high-resolution orthomosaics and point clouds. View both on an interactive map with measurement tools.

Time-Series Comparison

Compare any two capture dates side-by-side. Recurring captures build a complete timeline. See progress, spot issues, and document changes over time.

Map-Based Browsing & Reporting

Navigate by location, not file names. Annotate issues, measure areas, generate PDF reports, and share with stakeholders—all from the platform.

Why Aerial Data Transforms Construction

Drones are the sensor. The value is the data system and historical record. Our platform delivers:

Reduce site visits - Get comprehensive site overviews without traveling to the location
Improve accuracy - Measure distances, areas, and volumes with precision
Compare progress - Time-series comparison: select any two dates to see side-by-side orthos and point clouds
Enhance reporting - Generate professional reports with annotated imagery
Prevent issues - Identify potential problems before they become costly setbacks

Platform Workflow in 4 Simple Steps

Schedule Captures

Request recurring captures through our pilot network or upload your own data. Set frequency and deliverables.

Data Capture

Our certified drone pilots capture high-resolution imagery of your construction site according to your schedule.

Automated Processing

Our system processes raw imagery into orthomosaics and point clouds. All data is organized by date and accessible on the platform.

Visualize & Compare

Map-based browsing, time-series comparison, annotations, and reporting. Share with stakeholders and download data as needed.

Trusted by Construction Leaders

See why construction professionals across the country rely on our drone services to keep projects on track.

"Comparative overlays from foundation pour to steel topping‑out make owner progress calls painless—they see the story frame‑by‑frame instead of scrolling through reports."

— Dana K., Client Representative

"Annotating safety hazards directly on the imagery and pushing the report to the crew app has helped drive a 30% drop in near‑misses this quarter."

— Victor L., Safety Superintendent

"The auto‑generated PDF report pulls every annotated hotspot into a clean layout we forward straight to the subcontractors. It's cut my weekly status prep from two hours to ten minutes."

— Greg S., Construction Scheduler

"From bid to close‑out the NDS crew has been our aerial eyes. We're seeing a 4:1 return on investment through labor savings and avoided rework alone."

— Brian K., Vice President of Construction

"Friday progress fly‑overs give our owners crystal‑clear visibility and have virtually eliminated the 'Where are we?' emails."

— Sheila G., Project Executive

"The turnaround was unbelievable— 48 hours after the flight we had centimeter‑accurate topo maps that normally take our surveyors two weeks. That speed let us kick‑off excavation days ahead of schedule."

— Matt C., Senior Superintendent

"Weekly drone reports from NDS cut our field walks in half and flagged a steel mis‑alignment early enough to avoid a six‑figure change order."

— Laura P., QA/QC Manager

"Their orthomosaic processing saved us countless hours of site visits. Being able to measure and annotate from my desk has transformed our workflow."

— Steve M., Project Manager

"The side-by-side comparison feature has been invaluable for client presentations. It clearly demonstrates progress and helps manage expectations."

— Karen T., Site Engineer
