§ SERVICES / THE BUILD LOG

THE BUILD LOG — PROGRESS TRACKING

Document the process, not just the finish. Flexible recurring aerial documentation for active jobsites.

THE OVERVIEW

A multi-shoot documentary package built for general contractors, site managers, and developers. Rather than a single shoot at the end, The Build Log creates a defensible visual history of the entire build. We schedule recurring flights at fixed cadence — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — capturing high-resolution ortho imagery, elevation stills, and 4K video passes.

Contractors use these assets for stakeholder updates, lender draw requests, bonding documentation, site dispute resolution, and marketing portfolios that win the next bid.
