What used to be a one-off project photography, is now industry standard.
General contractors can implement:
Equipment and crew accountability - a timestamped aerial shows exactly where machinery, materials, and personnel were positioned on any given day.
Safety and site hazard documentation - overhead documentation captures unsafe staging, blocked egress routes, or encroachment on restricted zones that ground-level walkthroughs can miss entirely.
Subcontractor progress verification - Aerial documentation gives the GC an independent record of what was actually completed.
Owner and investor reporting - a current aerial of the site is the clearest, fastest way to show progress to a client, lender, or investor who isn't on site every day. Replaces a phone call with something they can actually see.
There are countless reasons to have this type of on-site documentation.
