A picture says a thousand words

Communicate more clearly when you can see everything.

Aerial or drone photography has a number of uses within the construction industry. Over time lifetime of a project we’re often brought in during the very early stages to capture some drone photos for site planning. This allows your team, your site contractors and your visitors to quickly and easily get a picture of what’s going on, the site’s boundaries, where works need to take place and the proximity to any hazards.

We also regularly use our drones to check elevations and views from a certain height. If you’re building a 7 story apartment block and you want to know what the panoramic views will look like from that height we’re able to tell you quickly and easily.

See some examples below as well as more information about Pricing & Availability.

A few considerations

Set some boundaries

Before we shoot we need to know where your site’s boundaries are. This helps ensure we’re photographing the right land and that we’re not flying over someone else’s land without their permission. In most cases, due to the scale of a site we’ll have to find nearby areas to operate from so we can capture your full site. We allow for this time up front in our planning stages and we communicate clearly with you throughout.

Let’s get high

When checking elevations or what the view might be like at a certain altitude there are a few things to consider. Firstly, the most accurate way to measure this is to take off from the directly underneath the altitude you wish to measure and fly directly up to the set altitude you require. This also helps to ensure that if multiple measurements are required they are relative to one another i.e if you’re looking for several measurements from one location.

Secondly, all drones, have a margin of error. For our drones the manufacturer states a margin of error of +/- 0.5 meters. The maximum altitude we can reach is 400ft or 120m due to New Zealand Aviation rules.

Depending on the size of the site we’ll normally be on site for anywhere between 30-90 mins for completely non-invasive photography and there’s no need for anyone to stop work. More often than not you’ll receive your professionally edited photos within 72 hours via online transfer.

Pricing & Availability

Our pricing is transparent, scaleable and we offer discounts for ongoing and repeat projects.
