What you get

Built around the schedule, not the photo album.

Every capture is processed through the same pipeline so successive flights stack cleanly — owners can scrub a slider through the project history.

Plan-vs-as-built overlays

Captures aligned to project north and draped over the BIM model — see what is and is not built where the schedule says it should be.

Photo-tied punch-list

Every punch item carries the aerial photo and ground photo that opened it. Resolution requires evidence, not a checkbox.

Pay-app friendly reports

A monthly progress packet sized for lender review — narrative, percent-complete by trade, and the captures that prove it.

Shared workspace

Owner, GC, lender, and architect all see the same site. Comments thread on the photo, not in email.

Same-week turnaround

Tuesday flight, Thursday deliverable. The cadence the meeting needs.

Independent record

A neutral aerial record that holds up if the conversation ever moves to the legal department.

Deliverables

A consistent packet, every visit.

Same files in the same folder structure on every flight — your team learns it once.
