What do you get from a progress flight?
We fly your site on a regular schedule for the life of the project. Each visit includes a 360 orbit video of the whole site, plus a 60 to 90 second highlights video showing the key changes since the last flight.
Flying from consistent positions each time builds up a clear, dated record of the build, which is useful for client and investor updates, board reports, safety briefings and, if it's ever needed, resolving disputes.
Need measurements as well? A 3D model of the site can be added to any visit, so your team can measure progress and plan the next phase from their desk.
Your first flight is free
If your project needs several flights, for example a build needing 10 monthly flights, the first one is free. It's a full, normal visit, so you can see exactly what you'll get before you commit.

Proof
Proven on large construction projects
We moved into survey and 3D work after large construction clients such as Prologis, Gilbert Ash and Galliford Try saw the value of drone data and asked for it. Our construction work includes aerial progress video at Prologis Park, Ryton.

Still got a question? Call Mark on 07866 522549.
How often should a construction site be flown?
Most projects are flown monthly, and often twice a month during busy phases. We'll agree a schedule that fits your programme.
How much does a construction progress flight cost?
Construction progress flights start from £350 per flight. On projects that need several flights, the first flight is free. 3D models of the site are an extra.
What is included in each visit?
Each visit includes a 360 orbit video of the whole site and a 60 to 90 second highlights video of the key changes since the last flight.
Is the free first flight a full visit?
Yes. On multi-flight projects the first flight is a full, normal visit, so you can see exactly what you'll get.
Can you fly safely over a live construction site?
Yes. We're used to working on live construction sites. We check site access and flight restrictions before we book, carry out a risk assessment on the day and agree the flight with your site team.
Can you measure progress?
Yes, with a 3D model of the site, which can be added to any visit. Your team can then measure distances, areas and slopes from their desk.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We can't fly in rain or high wind. We watch the forecast, often agree a backup date, and let you know before we travel if the date needs to move.
