Is this survey-grade photogrammetry?

No. We do not market the current progress-documentation workflow as survey-grade and do not provide certified survey measurements. Any future mapping scope would require a separately validated workflow and appropriate surveying oversight.

Repeatable aerial RGB capture of an active construction site for progress monitoring, timeline comparison, and stakeholder reporting

Core Service

Aerial Construction Progress Monitoring

Recurring aerial construction documentation with repeatable RGB imagery, timeline comparisons, and professional progress reporting.

Overview

Managing a large construction site requires consistent documentation. Holmes and Watson provides recurring aerial RGB capture—weekly, monthly, or at agreed milestones—with comparable perspectives and organized progress reporting. The result is a clear visual record of site conditions for owners, contractors, lenders, and remote stakeholders. Orthomosaics, 3D models, and survey-grade photogrammetry are not currently standard deliverables.

Why Choose Drone Construction Progress Monitoring

Repeatable aerial documentation gives stakeholders a clear visual record of milestones and changing site conditions without implying survey-grade accuracy.

When to use it: Use construction progress monitoring for any project where consistent visual documentation supports schedule, dispute avoidance, or stakeholder reporting needs.
