Construction Services

We are redefining the way construction projects are recorded. Utilizing drone technology. With the latest tools and techniques available for drone operators, new construction builds can expect a lot from a drone service provider. Aerial site inspections can show construction site progress like never before. 3D modeling, orthomosaic mapping, time-lapse photos and videos show your job site in a way that will impress your partners, investors, owners, and your construction teams.

Thermal Inspections

We use thermal drone technology to uncover details the human eye can’t see. Our thermal inspections provide accurate, non-invasive insights into roofing systems, solar panels, electrical components, and building envelopes. By detecting heat loss, moisture intrusion, faulty electrical components, or underperforming solar cells early, we help clients prevent costly repairs, reduce downtime, and extend the life of your assets. Whether it’s construction, commercial property, or energy infrastructure, our thermal imaging delivers actionable data that improves safety, efficiency, and decision-making – all while saving time and resources.

Monitor your construction sites as they evolve!

By using georeferenced 2D photos and 3D Data, you, your investors or the owners can view the current state of your site.

Orthomosaic Mapping and Modeling

 
Precision Aerial Optics delivers high-resolution orthomosaic mapping solutions that uses hundreds of aerial photographs—into a single, accurate, and seamless visual representation of your site. These detailed maps provide measurable data and true-to-scale imagery that can be used for inspections, documentation, and analysis across construction, roofing, and land management applications. Our mapping services offer a range of deliverables including georeferenced orthomosaics, digital surface models (DSM), elevation data, contour lines, and before-and-after comparisons to track site progression over time. We can create framed prints or digital overlays such as geoTIFF for mapping programs all available for client presentations. Whether you need area calculations, volumetric measurements, or visual reports for stakeholders and decision makers, our aerial mapping brings it all together—accurately and efficiently.
