Real Estate & Construction Monitoring
In the construction industry, monitoring play an important role as they are the platform on which planning decisions are undertaken. The traditional method of monitoring employs heavy machinery, higher number of personnel, complex data processing and a lot of time. This usually is one of the main reasons for the time delay in the construction pre-planning stage.
Construction companies are continuously looking out for technology that can improve operating efficiency and expand margins. Along with this, companies are also investing heavily in technologies that can eliminate use of scaffolding as it puts human lives at risk.
Progress Reporting – Staying informed with all stakeholders involved in the construction process is vital. Progress reports are a great way to keep track of activities, keeping investors involved, saving costs through staying on track always. Drones capture accurate and timely information that can be transformed into reports for future use as well. The data can be represented as 3D models of the site, Orthomosaic maps, and other photogrammetry data to check site progress.
Construction companies and developers can use drone construction progress monitoring for the following uses:
- Tracking development and progress on a regular basis by flying drones in the same pattern at regular intervals;
- Creating 360° views of the job site;
- Providing comprehensive safety inspections and quality assurance to make certain that the area is safe and compliant with state and local building codes;
- Turning data into 3D models to provide investors with a realistic look at the project;
- Creating CAD overlays to ensure the project is aligning with design plans;
- Determining progress rates and ensuring the project is moving according to schedule
- Keeping track of job site inventory, including equipment and materials;
- Bidding and pre-planning
- Planning and design
- Execution
- Maintenance and asset inspection
Construction
- Site Selection: Rather than looking at outdated Google Maps, drone pilots are able to fly a prospective site without you having to leave the office while still getting a detailed, up-to-date view of the property your considering for your next job site.
- Zoning Meetings: Rather than waiting for the zoning board to send someone out to visit your site, be proactive and bring the site to them.
- Documentation & Legal Protection: By creating a map or doing a video flyover, we can document the conditions of the roads before your trucks and heavy equipment show up.
- Progress Photos: These photos help document all phases of construction over time and keep your stakeholders, investors, owners, GC’s, subs, clients, banks, insurance companies and municipalities updated.
- Progress Videos: Nothing pulls people into a project like video. Supplement your progress photos with videos that will get your clients excited about the progress being made.
- Site Monitoring & Documentation (Orthomosaic Mapping): Think of these as Google Maps on steroids – up to the minute, high-resolution maps of your jobsite.
- Site Plan Overlay: We can import your site plan as a separate layer in our drone maps or we can export our contour maps for use in your CAD system.
- Stockpile Measurements: Want to know how many trucks you will need to haul away the piles of crushed concrete on your job site? Our stockpile measurement technology is a game changer.
- Site Map Print Outs: While our jobsite maps are all available digitally, many prefer to roll out a map. Cover the walls in the job trailer with weekly maps we create so you can see your job progress come to life.
- Panorama Tour: We capture a 360° panoramic image above your jobsite giving you the opportunity to see everything in one image.
- Time-Lapse Mapping: We capture photos from the same locations each time we fly. This way, at the end of the project we can provide you a time lapse to both wow your current clients and impress future ones.
- Software Integrations: Import your most up-to-date site plan to your drone map, to compare designs to reality. Export drone maps as 3D point clouds that integrate nicely with AutoCAD or any other CAD software.
- Marketing: After you’ve captured all of that great content, elevate your company’s marketing using these stunning photos and videos.
Commercial Real Estate
- Offices: Help your potential tenants get a better sense of your property, the surrounding area and other points of interest.
- Retail Centers: If you’re looking for tenants to fill a new retail development, or you’re simply looking to promote an existing retail complex, drone visuals will help you effectively promote your retail space.
- Industrial Facilities: Given the size of industrial properties, drone photos and videos are the best way to document your industrial property.
- Apartments & Condos: Help your potential tenants visualize your multi-family property by offering a bird’s-eye-view of your apartments, condominiums and townhomes.
- Senior Living: When assessing senior living spaces, it is critical to use drone visuals to show your audience the scope of your property as well as highlight all the great community features.
Residential Real Estate
- Listing Video: Make your listing stand out among the crowd with stunning video content sized and formatted for listing sites like Zillow. We even can resize these to fit your various digital outlets like websites, social media and more.
- Interior Visuals: While we don’t fly in residential properties, our pilots have the video equipment need to capture stunning interior shots.
- Interior & Exterior Visuals: Bring everything together with exterior drone photos and interior shots as well. Working with one partner will save time and money and offers a more consistent service.
- Branded Promo: Take the great drone content that you’ve captured for your clients’ listings and put them into a compelling branded video to share on your website and social media channels.
