If you're an architect, builder or construction company looking for a way to monitor the progress of your project, drone photography and video are a perfect solution. And with recent advances in drone technology, it’s now less expensive and more accessible than manned flights which are all but a thing of the past for construction site monitoring.
Construction Drone Photography
For Marketing, Social Content and Site Progress
Construction Show Reel
Regular construction site visits are a popular option. 4k video and high res images provide a visual overview of progress for managers, clients and investors. We can track build progress using still shots and video taken from the exact same angles each visit to help you meet deadlines and deliver on time.
As CAA qualified and insured drone operators, we are perfectly placed to document your construction project from planning through to final sign off.

Progress updates
Construction site progress update videos can be created from clips shot during a progress shoot. They're perfect for LinkedIn, and for management and stakeholder updates.
Timelapse videos
These dynamic timelapse videos are created from the same flight being repeated on multiple visits. The example shown illustrates 12 months of construction progress in just 16 seconds. Each shot can be taken as part of a scheduled construction progress shoot, resulting in a stunning record of a development's build.
Orthomosaic mapping
Gain a birds eye view of site progress with an orthomosaic image. Made up of sometimes hundreds of individual images, orthomosaics can provide an instant way to document change over time, providing month to month comparisons.
Aerial 360 tours
Aerial 360 tours are an immersive and efficient method for showing construction site progress. Hosted on our own platform, they can be posted on LinkedIn, or on your own website using the code provided once the tour is taken. They are also cost effective, taking only a short time on site to produce.

How much does construction site drone photography cost?
Construction site drone photography is best done at regular intervals, but in order to get the best value we would recommend once every 4 to 8 weeks. Costs can vary depending on location, and we always try to get the most out of a day by visiting multiple sites where possible. Contact us today for a bespoke quotation.
Why hire a professional Aerial Photographer?
‘Can’t we just do that ourselves?’ is often the question when considering most forms of photography these days. Everybody has a smartphone, right? And drones are widely available and easily purchased from many high street stores. The technology has evolved to a level where even lightweight entry level drones can provide 4k footage and pin sharp imagery.
But aerial photography comes with many rules and regulations, particularly in urban environments. The Civil Aviation Authority requires all drone operators intending to fly in urban areas to carry an advanced qualification - an ‘operational authorisation’ or a GVC. An A2 certificate will not suffice over a construction site. At Viewpoint we are qualified to GVC level. Pre-flight site surveys, risk assessments and weather reports all come together to assess each location prior to even setting foot on site. So we’re perfectly placed to carry out your construction site aerial photography.
