Case Studies

Case Study: Regional General Contractor – Orthomosaic Progress Mapping

Case Study: Commercial Roofing Contractor – Cinematic Aerial Documentation

Case Study: Commercial Roofing Contractor – Cinematic Aerial Documentation

Side-by-side aerial views of a residential development under construction showing progress differences.

 

Client Background
A regional general contractor in Central Indiana managing multiple commercial builds. Their team needed a reliable way to document and track site progress across different stakeholders.

Challenge
The client relied on manual walk-throughs and cell phone photos to check progress. That process was time-consuming and inconsistent. Reports to investors and supervisors lacked the detail needed to make confident decisions, especially when multiple sites were in play.

Solution
I deployed a DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise with RTK to capture high-resolution, geo-referenced imagery of the site. Data was processed into orthomosaic maps and 2D models, giving the project team accurate, measurable insights they could use in real time.

Implementation
Flights were completed in under an hour, with deliverables ready within 24 hours. By coordinating with the project manager, I aligned the mapping schedule with their reporting cycle. When weather created challenges, flights were adjusted to maintain consistent updates.

Results

  • Weekly site visits reduced by several hours, saving supervisor time.
  • Progress reports became clear, visual, and shareable across the team and stakeholders.
  • Early detection of grading and equipment placement issues prevented costly rework.
  • The contractor now has a visual record of the entire build from start to finish. 

Call to Action
If your construction team needs accurate, time-saving progress updates, I can help. My drone mapping services deliver professional visuals and measurable data tailored to your schedule.

Case Study: Commercial Roofing Contractor – Cinematic Aerial Documentation

Case Study: Commercial Roofing Contractor – Cinematic Aerial Documentation

Case Study: Commercial Roofing Contractor – Cinematic Aerial Documentation

Cinematic aerial footage showcasing a commercial skylight replacement.

 

Client Background
A commercial roofing contractor in Central Indiana completing a skylight replacement on a large commercial building. They wanted a way to capture the project in a polished, professional way for both internal records and external marketing.

Challenge
Traditional photos didn’t show the scale or complexity of the work. The contractor needed high-quality visuals that highlighted safety, precision, and craftsmanship—while also providing a dynamic asset for future bids and promotional use.

Solution
Using a DJI drone, I filmed cinematic aerial footage of the skylight replacement process. Multiple angles were captured in 4K, including wide shots of the full roof and closer passes showing the installation work in progress. I edited the footage into both a full-length video and a short highlight reel for social media.

Implementation
The shoot took place over a single day, with about 2.5 hours of flight time. Careful coordination with the roofing crew ensured safety and uninterrupted workflow. The edited videos were delivered within the week, optimized for both web and presentation use.

Results

  • The contractor gained a professional video to showcase the project to clients and prospects.
  • Crew safety was maintained while still documenting every step of the process.
  • The short social media clip generated strong engagement and highlighted the company’s technical expertise.
  • The footage is now part of the contractor’s portfolio for future bids and marketing.

Call to Action
Need cinematic aerials to showcase your construction projects? From roofing to large-scale builds, I provide professional drone videography that captures your work at its best.

Case Study: Industrial Property Owner – Roof & Site Mapping

Case Study: Commercial Roofing Contractor – Cinematic Aerial Documentation

Case Study: Industrial Property Owner – Roof & Site Mapping

Detailed FAA-certified drone mapping of warehouse roof and parking lot for maintenance planning and documentation.

 

Client Background
An industrial property owner in Central Indiana needed an updated roof and site assessment for one of their warehouse facilities. The project included both the roof surface and the surrounding parking lot.

Challenge
The client needed a fast, accurate overview of the property without the expense or risk of sending crews up onto the roof. They also needed a visual baseline for planning future maintenance and ensuring the property met insurance requirements.

Solution
I used drone-based photogrammetry to capture high-resolution aerial images of both the roof and the surrounding lot. The images were processed into orthomosaic maps, creating a detailed, measurable view of the property. This provided clear documentation of the roof’s condition and the layout of the parking lot.

Implementation
The mapping was completed in a single morning, even in cold holiday weather conditions. Data was processed within 24 hours, giving the client a complete digital record of the site for use in planning and reporting.

Results

  • Eliminated the need for manual roof inspections, reducing safety risks.
  • Delivered centimeter-level accurate maps to support maintenance planning.
  • Provided visual documentation for insurance and compliance purposes.
  • Enabled faster decision-making about future repairs and site upgrades.

Call to Action
If you manage commercial or industrial properties, drone mapping provides safe, cost-effective documentation of roofs, lots, and facilities. I can deliver high-quality maps and visuals tailored to your maintenance and reporting needs.
