Orthomosaic progress maps, stockpile volumes, cut/fill tracking and as-built documentation — delivered as a report your PM can forward to the client. Plus FPV flythroughs when you want the work to look as good as it is.
Measurements your PM can bill against, and footage your client can share. Most jobs use both. All prices CAD, flat fee, no hourly.
Weekly or monthly orthomosaic capture with timeline comparison. Branded PDF progress report with annotations, plus a shareable interactive map link for the owner, the PM and the client.
Drone capture, then volumes computed from a photogrammetric surface model. Branded report with tonnage estimates and comparison against your previous surveys — flown the same pattern and altitude every visit, so the change between them is what you can act on.
Existing conditions before you price the job. Orthomosaic plus basic topo, access routes, drainage and utility visibility. Bid off measured ground instead of a windshield survey.
Regular capture through grading and excavation. Cut/fill volumes measured against the design surface, so over-excavation gets caught while it's still cheap to fix.
Final site condition captured for closeout, warranty or handover. The record of what was actually built, on the day it was finished.
Sheltered operations under the Advanced certificate — close-in flight around structures. High-resolution imagery of roofs, drainage and hard-to-reach assets, delivered as an annotated findings report.
One site, one flight, one sharp clip. A 30–60 second cinematic FPV flythrough of completed work, fully edited, your logo and colours, music licensed and cleared. Vertical cut included for social.
A 60–90 second monthly cut showing how the site has evolved. Graphics, music, branded. Built for investor updates, internal reporting and marketing that doesn't look like a phone video.
Combine any Track A mapping service with an FPV flythrough. Built for project closeout — documented proof and marketing content out of the same site visit.
You don't touch any of it. Flight planning, airspace clearance and the site survey are handled before the truck arrives.
Airspace review and clearance. The Advanced certificate covers controlled airspace, so a nearby airport isn't a blocker.
20–40 minutes on an automated grid pattern. Site sign-in, PPE, and a written hazard assessment before the first launch.
Raw imagery becomes an orthomosaic and elevation model. Volumes, annotations and timeline comparisons built from it.
Branded PDF report plus a shareable interactive map link. In your inbox within 48 hours.
Advanced RPAS certification is done. Insurance is the last box — no drone goes in the air for money until it's locked.
20 minutes on your site. Full orthomosaic map and a sample report delivered within 48 hours. No commitment, no invoice.
If it doesn't save your PM time or give you something worth sending to your client, you owe nothing and I'll stop emailing you.
First clients lock in founding rates and set the template for how these reports get built.
▸ Got it.
You'll get a reply with a couple of dates that work. If your site has airspace restrictions I'll sort the clearance before I confirm.
A Canadian construction story, told through the people building it. A documentary short for Skyway Canada. Updated as the project moves, so you can see the process, not just the finished cut.

One note when there's something worth seeing — a rough cut, a behind-the-scenes clip, a release date. Nothing else.

Which means the person reading your site isn't a photographer who learned what a footing is last week. Progress maps get annotated in language a PM can forward without translating, and the flight plan accounts for the crane swing radius because I've worked under one.
