Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAV) provide significant benefits for facilities management and construction industries.
Oftentimes, construction progress is monitored in part from photos taken on the ground. While this can be a useful tool to assess the progress of construction and document conditions at a particular point in the process, the ability to generate high-resolution aerial imagery on a regular basis – be it monthly, weekly, or even daily – will provide a more complete record of progress (or lack thereof). The efficiency of the application allows for repetitive, regular use, and provides another useful tool for both the developer and contractor.
Compliance Expertise
Our FAA licensed pilots and FAA registered equipment provide you with next-level partnership in project progress monitoring.
- Project Safety: Identify potential hazards and reduce human risk by avoiding the use of lifts, scaffolding, and rigging.
- Cost Reduction: Aerial footage/mapping is more accessible, accurate, and cost-effective than manned aircraft.
- Communication: Communication and management solutions are delivered quickly and effectively.
- Documenting Compliance: Photographs and video further document project compliance for various regulatory agencies to reference.
The law states that those who operate commercial drones outside of FAA regulations are doing so illegally. We ensure that all our procedures meet federal requirements and regulations.
