Schedule slips and disputed change orders are the two biggest profit killers on any job site. We give project managers the visual data, measurements, and analysis they need to catch problems early, defend their work, justify their billings, and keep stakeholders informed without another in-person walk.
The difference between us and a pilot with a camera: we don't just deliver footage. We deliver the analysis on top of it — the volumetric report, the progression comparison, the marked-up exception list — so your team gets answers, not homework.
Site Mapping & Surveying
Bid and plan from data, not assumptions. Highly accurate aerial maps and topographic data of your construction site, captured in a morning and processed inside 48 hours.
- Geo-accurate orthomosaic site maps for layout, planning, and project records
- Topographic survey data with centimeter-level accuracy
- Boundary and lot maps for pre-construction planning and permit applications
- As-built documentation that gives the owner and the city exactly what was actually built — not what was drawn
Earthwork & Elevation Analysis
Know your dirt before you move it. We capture the site, build the elevation models, and run the cut-and-fill analysis so your earthwork sub bids the job from real numbers.
- Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM)
- Contour maps for grading and drainage planning
- Cut-and-fill volume reports — we compute how much dirt actually needs to move, so estimating stops being a guess and your trucking gets right-sized from day one
- Pre-grade and post-grade comparison maps that prove the work was done as specified
Volumetric Measurement & Stockpile Reporting
This is where the math literally pays for the flight. Stop estimating stockpiles and start measuring them — accurately, repeatedly, and without shutting operations down.
- Stockpile volume reports for aggregate, soil, and material — so you stop over-ordering trucks, over-paying haulers, or under-billing the customer for material moved
- Right-size your trucking and logistics — when you know the actual cubic yards on the ground, you book the right number of dump trucks, on the right day, instead of guessing and eating the difference
- Excavation progress tracking with volume reporting — billable cubic yards documented, period over period, so progress payments and AIA pay apps go uncontested
- Material inventory management from the air — monthly stockpile snapshots for finance, audit, and operations without ever sending someone into the pile
- Period-over-period change reports — we compute the delta and hand it to you in a format your CFO understands
Progression Mapping & Documentation
Document every week so no one can dispute what happened. Time-stamped aerial imagery and mapping data gives you the evidence that backs up every change order, every pay app, and every claim of "this was already like that when we got here."
- Scheduled flyovers (weekly, biweekly, or milestone-based) for consistent progress documentation
- Side-by-side comparisons showing exactly what changed between visits
- Visual progress reports and photo packages for owners, lenders, and investors — replacing the in-person site walk that nobody has time for
- Dispute and claim documentation with georeferenced, time-stamped evidence that wins the argument before it becomes a lawsuit
- Construction timelapse videos for marketing, ribbon-cuttings, and case studies
Roof, Facade & Pre-Demolition Surveys
High-resolution visual and thermal documentation before, during, and after the work — so condition baselines exist when you need them, and surprises don't show up after substantial completion.
- Pre-existing condition surveys for adjacent properties before excavation or demo
- Roof condition reports with annotated defects, ranked by severity
- Facade and tuckpointing assessments that beat sending crews up on swing stages
- Post-storm damage documentation captured fast for insurance and remediation
Whether you're a GC running a single high-rise build or a developer managing five projects across the Chicagoland area, we deliver the documentation and analysis that protects your timeline, your billings, and your reputation.
