Construction Progress Monitoring for Winston-Salem & Forsyth County

Holmes and Watson provides Construction Progress Monitoring across Winston-Salem and Forsyth County — with crews based locally in Forsyth County into the Piedmont Triad. We routinely fly across Downtown, West End, and Ardmore, and we coordinate FAA airspace authorizations and property-management access for every job.

Winston-Salem combines a deep stock of pre-1960 brick and timber commercial buildings with a modern industrial corridor running east toward PTI Airport. The roofing mix is heavily TPO and modified-bitumen on flat commercial; older West End and Old Salem buildings push us into masonry facade work, parapet inspections, and delicate envelope diagnostics where invasive testing isn't acceptable. Within that mix, Construction Progress Monitoring addresses recurring drone mapping with consistent GCPs produces a survey-grade record of every milestone.

Why Winston-Salem Properties Use Drone Construction Progress Monitoring

Many Winston-Salem properties — especially Reynolda-area institutional buildings, historic Old Salem structures, and the warehouse conversions around the downtown Innovation Quarter — have envelopes that can't be tested invasively. Drone-based radiometric thermography is often the only way to scan an entire roof or facade for hidden moisture, missing insulation, or thermal bridging without damaging the assembly. Teams in Winston-Salem typically use construction progress monitoring for any project where consistent visual documentation supports schedule, dispute avoidance, or stakeholder reporting needs.
