Construction Progress Monitoring

Construction projects run on information. When the site picture is weeks stale, decisions are made on assumptions. Aerial monitoring changes the cadence — georeferenced orthomosaics, volume calculations, and progress comparisons delivered on a regular schedule give project owners, site managers, and investors a verifiable record of what is actually happening on the ground.

Dronebotics provides scheduled aerial documentation of active construction sites — weekly, bi-weekly, or at project milestones — producing georeferenced outputs your engineering and project management teams can work from directly. Each visit follows the same flight plan, producing consistent, comparable data across the project timeline.

This is not site photography for marketing purposes. This is a structured monitoring programme producing data that supports schedule management, dispute resolution, progress billing verification, and as-built documentation.

Construction sites sit in a range of airspace environments — urban projects may be in controlled airspace, near aerodromes, or over adjacent occupied properties. Advanced RPAS certification authorizes operations in these conditions, ensuring a monitoring programme can continue uninterrupted. It also matters from a client risk standpoint when a drone is flying over an active site with workers present.

Who This Is For

General contractors managing complex sites who need consistent visual progress records
Project owners and developers requiring independent progress documentation for investor reporting or lender verification
Site superintendents who want a birds-eye confirmation of what their crews are accomplishing each week
Engineers and surveyors who need earthwork volume estimates or grade verification
Legal and claims teams who need a timestamped, georeferenced visual record for schedule disputes

What's Included

Recurring site visits

On your agreed schedule — same flight plan each time, same coverage, comparable data across visits.

Georeferenced orthomosaic

Full site coverage in GeoTIFF format, delivered after each visit.

Progress comparison overlays

Current visit versus prior visit for visual review of advancement across defined site zones.

Volumetric estimates

Of earthworks where included in scope — cut/fill, stockpile measurement.

Structured delivery package

With each visit, including methodology notes and any anomalies observed.
