Independent aerial documentation
Aerial evidence that holds up in the file.
We fly, process, and deliver documentation that construction, insurance, and development teams use to make decisions and defend them months later. Independent third party, with no stake in the outcome we are documenting.
Three weeks apart, same flight path
This is what a month of progress actually looks like.
Two captures of the same site, flown from the same position on September 9 and October 1. Drag the handle. The crane is gone, the podium deck is roofed, and two floors of framing went up. Nobody has to take anyone's word for it.
Repeating the flight path is the whole trick. Same altitude, same angle, same output format, so any two captures line up without an argument about methodology.
What we document
Eight service lines, one standard of evidence.
Every engagement produces the same thing: a dated, consistently formatted record of what the site actually looked like on a given day. What changes is who needs it and what decision it supports, whether that is a payment, a claim, a design assumption, or a safety corrective action.
Construction Progress Documentation
Monthly or bi-weekly aerial capture, orthomosaic comparison, and a branded progress report your whole project team can work from.
From $750 per flight ->Third-Party Jobsite Safety Inspections
Monthly or bi-weekly safety inspections walked on site and flown from above, referenced to 29 CFR 1926, with photographed observations and corrective action tracking between visits.
From $850 per month ->Construction Layout, Stakeout, and Verification
GNSS layout and stakeout from approved plans, machine control verification, and as-built checks. Sealed deliverables are performed by a licensed land surveying firm engaged for that scope.
From $650 per half day ->Visual Roof Inspections
Aerial condition documentation for TPO, membrane, and storm damage assessment. 30 to 60 high resolution photographs and a structured findings report.
From $450 ->Insurance and Builder's Risk Documentation
Time-stamped, GPS-tagged, claim-defensible imagery for baseline, course-of-construction, and post-incident documentation.
From $1,200 per month ->Industrial Mapping and Earthwork Verification
RTK-enabled mapping with placed ground control points, point cloud, contours, and volumetric calculations for earthwork and grading.
From $1,500 per flight ->Real Estate and Property Marketing Imagery
Edited aerial stills and short-form video for listings, leasing packages, and property marketing. Web and print ready.
From $400 ->Pre-Project Site Mapping
Current-condition orthomosaic and elevation data for architects, developers, and civil engineers. Replaces stale satellite imagery in feasibility work.
From $600 -> A different service, same companyMonogram Construction Consultants
Owner's representation, preconstruction and estimating, schedule and pay application review. The construction advisory side of the business, under its own name.
Go to Monogram ->Why independent matters
The party producing the evidence should not be the party being paid.
Owner-side and lender-side credibility
When documentation supports a payment decision, a claim, or a schedule dispute, its value depends on who produced it. We are not on the contractor's payroll and we do not subcontract to one.
One flight, four stakeholders
The same capture can serve the developer, the lender's construction monitor, the architect of record, and the builder's risk carrier. We price that as a package rather than flying the same site four times.
Built to be filed, not just viewed
Time-stamped, GPS-tagged, consistently structured, and archived. Useful the day it lands and still useful eighteen months later when somebody asks what the site looked like in March.
Flagship deliverable
Monthly Progress Verification Report
A pay application arrives claiming a set of line items are complete. This report puts a dated aerial record next to that claim, so the person approving it is working from evidence instead of a description.

- Side-by-side orthomosaic against prior monthIncluded
- Per-line-item visual percent-complete reviewIncluded
- 3D model with elevation measurementsIncluded
- Volumetric verification for earthwork pay itemsIncluded
- Photographic appendix and web portal accessIncluded
- Sold to owner, lender, architect, or carrierFrom $2,500/mo
- All four parties on one project, one packageQuoted
The deliverable
Not a photo album. A measurable surface.
Progress imagery is the part people notice. The orthomosaic is the part they use. Every mapping flight is processed into a geometrically corrected, top-down surface you can measure on, compare against last month, and drop into the tools your civil and VDC teams already run.
From the same flight we also produce the point cloud, contours, and volumes, so earthwork quantities stop being a conversation and start being arithmetic.
Ongoing programs
Two things most local operators do not offer.
Remote site monitoring
An aircraft staged on your site flies an autonomous mission daily, weekly, or bi-weekly, with our pilot in command operating remotely and a briefed visual observer on the ground. You get a continuous record without a crew mobilizing every time.
Pair it with a monthly in-person mapping flight and you have both the day-to-day record and the survey-grade dataset.
From $750/mo, $750 one-time site setupProject-long marketing capture
Monthly cinematic flyovers, hero stills, vertical social cuts, and a cumulative time-lapse that runs the length of the build. Delivered in 48 hours, ready to post or drop into a leasing package.
Most useful when it starts at mobilization. The time-lapse you wish you had is the one nobody started in month one.
From $1,000/mo as an add-onService area
Northeast base, nationwide reach.
We operate out of Clinton, Connecticut, which is where scheduling is fastest and where most routine work happens. For portfolio programs, multi-site rollouts, and post-event response, we travel anywhere in the country.
Travel is quoted openly and separately. It never gets buried in the service rate, and on multi-site work it gets amortized across the sites, which is what makes a national program worth doing.
- Within one hour of Clinton, CTNo travel fee
- Northeast corridor, up to a 3 hour drive$150 flat
- Extended drive, 3 to 6 hoursDay rate plus mileage
- Nationwide fly-in mobilizationQuoted
- Multi-site programsTravel amortized
- Lead time outside the Northeast5 to 10 business days
Free, educational, no pitch required
Drone compliance review
Plenty of jobsites already have a drone in the truck. Fewer have a written program behind it. FAA Part 107 sets the rules for commercial drone operations in the United States, including who holds the remote pilot certificate, how the aircraft is registered, when airspace authorization is required, and what records are kept.
We offer a free thirty minute conversation that walks through what the regulation actually requires and what your options are, whether you keep the function in house or hand it to a third party. It is a working session, not a sales call. If you decide to build the capability internally, we will tell you what that takes.
How it works
Four steps, and only one of them is yours.
Scope
You send the address and what you need documented. We confirm acreage, airspace, access, and cadence, then quote a fixed price. No walkthrough required.
Fly
We handle airspace authorization, weather windows, and notification. Our pilot in command runs the mission. Nobody on your team needs to be on site.
Process
Imagery is processed into orthomosaics, models, and measurements, then reviewed before anything goes out. Every deliverable is checked by a human.
Deliver
Branded report, source files, and portal access inside 24 hours for routine work and 48 for complex. Pushed to Procore or ACC on request.
