Services
-
We fly job sites and deliver high-resolution aerial photos, 4K video, and orthomosaic maps that show the full site from above. Contractors and developers get a clear, accurate view of the entire project — conditions, layout, and work in place — without ever leaving the ground.
Aerial imagery gives project teams an objective, verifiable record of what's happening on site at any stage of the build. Stakeholders stay informed without unnecessary site visits, disputes get resolved faster with visual evidence, and contractors have documentation that supports payment applications and protects them if questions arise down the line.
-
We capture high-resolution aerial imagery and 4K video of every surface of a roof from above. Property owners, contractors, and adjusters get a complete, detailed visual of the roof's condition — faster, safer, and more thorough than a traditional inspection.
No ladders, no scaffolding, no risk. A drone can cover an entire roof in minutes, reaching angles a physical inspector simply can't access. Property owners get clear documentation they can use for insurance claims or contractor estimates, and roofing contractors can assess more properties in a day — with imagery that builds trust and eliminates guesswork.
-
From the surrounding neighborhood down to the interior spaces, we capture a property the way buyers actually want to see it — in the air and inside. High-resolution aerial photos, 4K cinematic video, and interior flythroughs that show scale, context, layout, and detail that traditional photography simply can't deliver. Everything delivered within 48 hours.
Listings with aerial imagery sell 68% faster than those with standard photos alone. Buyers get a complete picture of the property before ever stepping inside — which means more qualified showings, less time on market, and a stronger position for sellers and agents alike.

Why Drone Inspections?
-
Drone capture allows entire sites, structures, and assets to be documented in minutes rather than hours, helping teams stay on schedule without extended on-site disruption.
-
Aerial inspections reduce the need for physical access to elevated or hazardous areas, minimizing risk to personnel and avoiding unnecessary equipment setup.
-
High-angle aerial views provide complete coverage of buildings, infrastructure, and surrounding areas, ensuring critical details aren’t missed from limited ground perspectives.
-
Professional-grade imagery delivers sharp, detailed visuals suitable for inspections, reporting, planning, and long-term recordkeeping.
-
By reducing labor time, equipment requirements, and repeat site visits, drone documentation often lowers overall inspection expenses while maintaining accuracy and consistency.

SFPUC Water Department Campus
Client: Clark Construction | Public Infrastructure
Project Overview
The SFPUC Water Department Campus at 2000 Marin Street is a $428 million state-of-the-art infrastructure project designed to withstand a magnitude 7.8 earthquake. This facility plays a critical role in San Francisco’s water system, managing over 1,250 miles of water mains while generating 900 kilowatts of clean, renewable energy through integrated solar arrays.
Our Role
We provide ongoing drone-based construction progress documentation, capturing consistent aerial visuals that support site monitoring, coordination, and reporting throughout the build.
Why It Matters
On complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects, accurate and repeatable documentation is essential. Drone-based progress tracking provides clear visibility without disrupting active construction operations.
