Watch a project take shape.
A construction site changes every week, and nobody remembers what it looked like a month ago. Regular aerial imagery gives you a clear, honest record of progress, and the raw material for the story of the build.
What it involves
Progress work runs on consistency. We agree a set of fixed viewpoints and fly them on a regular schedule, so every visit can be laid side by side with the last. Alongside the record, we capture a few cinematic moves for milestone updates and, eventually, the completion film.
Active sites have their own rules, hazards and rhythms. Every visit is coordinated with your site team and planned around cranes, crews and deliveries.
Who it’s for
Developers
Keeping investors, buyers and city partners up to date.
General contractors
Documenting progress for clients and project archives.
Architects and project teams
Recording how a design becomes a building.
Often used in construction & development. Based in Ventura & Los Angeles Counties, and available wherever you’re shooting.
Typical uses
- Scheduled progress stills from fixed viewpoints
- Milestone and topping-out films
- Investor and stakeholder updates
- Time-lapse style sequences across the build
- Completion and handover films
What it brings to a project
Comparable records
The same angles every visit make progress obvious.
Site-aware flying
Every visit is coordinated with your team and your safety rules.
From record to story
Months of progress material that becomes a completion film.
How we approach it
Every project is scoped on its own. This is the usual shape of the work; see our process for the full picture.
1
Viewpoint plan
We agree the repeatable angles and a capture schedule.
2
Site coordination
Access, inductions and timing confirmed with the site team.
3
Regular visits
Every visit follows the same plan, so results line up.
4
Organized delivery
Dated, consistently named files after each visit.
Getting ready
You don’t need any of this finalized to get in touch. Whatever you can share helps us give useful advice sooner.
- Site address and project timeline
- Site contact and safety requirements
- How often you’d like progress captured
- Who the imagery is for and how it will be shared
Questions about construction drone video
More answers in the FAQ.
It depends on the pace of the build and who the imagery is for. Monthly is common, with extra visits around key milestones. We’ll suggest a schedule in the consultation.
Yes. Every visit is coordinated with the site team and planned around cranes, crews and site rules. Occasionally that means adjusting timing or viewpoints.
No. Our work is visual documentation and storytelling, not survey-grade mapping or inspection. If you need measurements, we’re happy to recommend a surveying specialist.
Yes. We’re based in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, but progress records work anywhere, and so do we. For sites further afield we plan the visits as a schedule from the start, keep the same viewpoints, heights and lenses every time, and agree the delivery format so each update drops straight into your reporting. Remote sites get the same care as the ones down the road.
