Most builders still document progress with phone photos from the ground. A scheduled drone program gives you a far better record for not much money: consistent aerial views of the whole site, captured at regular intervals, ready for your files, your clients, and your marketing.
How progress documentation works
We fly the site on a set schedule, weekly, biweekly, or monthly, shooting the same angles every visit. That consistency is what makes the record useful: you can compare phases side by side, track milestones, and hand owners a visual timeline of their build.
What builders get from it
- Client updates. Send owners aerial progress shots instead of fielding "how is it looking" calls. It builds trust and cuts down on site visits.
- Dispute protection. A dated visual record of site conditions protects you if questions come up later about timing, weather delays, or completed work.
- Marketing content. Finished projects need portfolio material. Progress sequences make great social content and show future clients exactly how you build.
- Lender and stakeholder reporting. Clean aerial documentation works for draw inspections and investor updates.
Pricing
Progress Visits are $225 per visit, scheduled at whatever interval fits the project. Finished and showcase homes can add our Photo + Motion package (from $449) for marketing-grade stills and video when the build wraps.
