AGREED BEFORE THE VISIT

Useful documentation.
A clear scope.

01

For contractors and developers

See how the work fits together across a commercial site, a residential development, or an individual home build. Overhead and angled photographs can show structures, access routes, material staging, and surrounding conditions that are difficult to communicate in a single ground-level image. Agree on the viewpoints and areas of interest before the first visit, then plan repeat coverage where site access and flight conditions allow. Dated images provide a visual reference for project meetings, subcontractor conversations, and comparisons between visits. Coverage can follow a recurring schedule or selected milestones that fit the actual work.

02

Keep owners informed

Give homeowners, investors, and project partners an organized way to follow visible progress, whether they live nearby or are managing the build from a distance. Images grouped by capture date and project stage make updates easier to understand and share. Discuss whether you need a selection of digital photographs, an optional progress PDF, or coordinated interior coverage. For a family building a home, these visits also preserve the memories between the empty lot and the finished property. Confirm the delivery format and intended use before capture so each update serves the people receiving it.

03

From site preparation to completion

Start with the stages you want to remember or compare: existing conditions, excavation, foundation, framing, exterior work, landscaping, and completion. Pre-drywall interior documentation can add a separate record of the systems that aerial photographs cannot show. When requesting a quote, include the site location, project size, construction schedule, desired visit frequency, and who will coordinate access. We will discuss the coverage and deliverables before work begins. Keep WEMAD informed when the schedule changes so visits follow meaningful progress; flight timing also depends on suitable weather, airspace, and site conditions.

YOUR BUILD. YOUR STORY. YOUR RECORD.
