Drones at Your Construction Site

With Crystal Drones, tracking site progress is seamless and efficient allowing you to share updates effortlessly with investors and customers. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality in imaging and aerial data collection, utilizing the most advanced drone technologies on the market. Our cutting-edge aerial imaging solutions empower construction companies to manage resources with precision, enabling informed decision-making based on accurate data.

Construction Site Inspections

Keep track of your construction site with regular aerial inspections. Weekly fly overs, bi-monthly fly overs, or on larger projects monthly inspections.

Construction Progression Reports

Regular aerial inspections can be combined into a time lapse of worksite progress. Show stakeholders the up to date status of your construction site, and also provide them with historical references to see overall jobsite progress.

Construction Site Data Collection

Leverage the power of advanced aerial technology to gather comprehensive data from your construction site. Using drones, you can capture real-time information about site conditions, project milestones, and resource allocation. This data not only helps in monitoring current progress but also aids in informed decision-making and efficient project management. Share precise, up-to-date insights with stakeholders while maintaining historical records to track overall development and improve future planning.

Jobsite Modeling

Aerial data collected for inspections, progression reports, and measurements can also be used to create an overall jobsite map. Both 2D and 3D modeling are readily available to give you a complete view of your entire construction site.

Drone Construction Progression Video

When launching a new construction project from the ground up, utilizing drone imaging and data capture can be invaluable for tracking site progress over time. By capturing aerial videos, still images, and data points from predetermined locations, you can monitor whether your project is staying on schedule and within budget, whether it’s done a few times a week or monthly. Compiling a portfolio of your projects and their progress not only showcases your effective workplace management but also strengthens your ability to market your construction firm to future projects by highlighting your commitment to timelines and efficiency.

Drone Site Modeling

At the outset of a new construction project or while finalizing a stunning community, Crystal Drone is here to support you with aerial modeling of your site. Our services provide a unique perspective, showcasing construction location, progress, and site features in remarkable detail. This bird’s-eye view enhances understanding for investors and buyers alike, allowing them to track the project’s journey from inception to completion.

Using drone-based data collection for site modeling not only delivers superior detail compared to traditional mapping tools, but it also acts as a powerful marketing asset and aids in effective planning throughout the construction process. By selecting suitable targets before flights, we capture valuable measurements, acreage, and volumetric data. While only a licensed land surveyor can interpret this information for compliance with regional regulations, Crystal Drone will gladly work with your survey team, providing all necessary data tailored to your project needs. With our precise aerial insights, you can streamline communication with interested parties, save time and money, and enhance workplace safety. Let Crystal Drone elevate your project today!
