Questions

Construction progress: your questions

How often should a construction site be flown?

Once a month works for most builds, and that's what our monthly plan covers. Monthly visits catch each phase, from grading to framing to the finished shell. If you only need a record of one milestone, such as a pour or topping out, book a single visit.

Will my lender accept drone photos for a construction draw?

Ask your lender first. Drone photos are supporting documentation: they show the whole site on a known date from the same angles each month, which makes progress easy to see. Each lender sets its own rules for draws and inspections, so confirm what they accept before you rely on aerials.

Have you documented a build in the Tri-Cities before?

Yes. We flew a commercial build in Johnson City from September 2025 to May 2026, from bare graded dirt to an enclosed building. Every visit used the same angles, and we made eight to-scale site maps along the way. You can see the photos and maps on our main page.

What is "build to listing"?

It means one crew from groundbreaking to sale. We fly your monthly progress during the build, then shoot the listing photos and video when the project is finished. You deal with one vendor who already knows the site, the access and the best angles.

Do you carry insurance for job sites?

Yes. Every flight carries $1 million in liability coverage. If your site or your contract requires a certificate of insurance, or needs your company named as an additional insured, we send it at no charge.

Can you fly a site near Tri-Cities Airport?

Usually. Parts of the area are controlled airspace, which needs FAA authorization before we fly, and we request it while we plan your visits. If a site can't be flown legally, we tell you before you book.
