Construction Progress Monitoring for Raleigh & Wake County
Holmes and Watson provides Construction Progress Monitoring across Raleigh and Wake County — typically a 100–110 minutes mobilization from our Winston-Salem headquarters into the Research Triangle. We routinely fly across Downtown Raleigh, North Hills, and Cameron Village, and we coordinate FAA airspace authorizations and property-management access for every job.
Raleigh's commercial stock skews newer than the Triad, with major Class A office in North Hills, downtown, and Brier Creek, and an enormous R&D and life-sciences buildout in RTP and Morrisville. Roof assemblies are predominantly TPO with mechanically attached membranes; facades are heavily glass curtain wall and metal panel. Within that mix, Construction Progress Monitoring addresses recurring drone mapping with consistent GCPs produces a survey-grade record of every milestone.
