Why use Aerial Site Capture?
Full-Site Visibility – Capture high-resolution aerial views to monitor your entire site in one glance.
Progress Tracking – Compare site conditions week-to-week with layered captures and timeline playback.
Improved Coordination – Sync site visuals with your teams and subs through shareable maps and annotations.
Remote Site Access – Log in from anywhere to check site status via cloud-based DroneDeploy access.
Accurate Measurements – Instantly calculate distances, areas, and volumes—without needing to be onsite.
Cutting-Edge Mapping – Generate 2D orthomosaics, 3D models, elevation maps, and point clouds in hours, not days.
Faster Issue Resolution – Identify and resolve site problems quickly with visual and measurable evidence.
Time & Cost Savings – Eliminate unnecessary site visits and streamline reporting and inspections.
Enhanced Safety & Documentation – Reduce risk with visual records for compliance, insurance, and safety logs.
Historical Project Archive – Store an evolving site record for long-term accountability and reference.
Client & Stakeholder Transparency – Share dynamic project updates through branded, interactive DroneDeploy reports.
Integrated with Your Workflow – Easily export data to project management platforms like Procore, AutoCAD, and more.
Key benefits of reality capture for construction teams
Slashing as-built modeling time
Traditional methods require multiple site visits, extensive coordination, and manual measurements—all common sources of errors and delays. With automated reality capture, sites are scanned at every project stage, providing instant verification of as-designed versus as-built conditions.
Enhancing project management through visual documentation
Digital site documentation isn't just about pretty pictures—it's about actionable intelligence. Comprehensive 360° capture creates a Google Street View-style walkthrough of your entire project at any point in time.
Project managers gain complete visual timeline of construction progress, ability to verify subcontractor work without physical site visits, immediate access to historical site conditions for resolving disputes, and comprehensive documentation for compliance and handover.
Improving stakeholder communication
Field teams waste up to 9.3 hours weekly searching for project information. Reality capture solves this by creating a single source of truth.
Modern capture platforms facilitate real-time communication between site and office teams, comprehensive visual updates for all stakeholders, time-stamped photos linked directly to tasks and issues, and efficient collaboration through integration with platforms like Procore and Autodesk..

The future of construction documentation
The construction industry is rapidly moving away from manual documentation processes toward integrated digital reality capture. Teams implementing these technologies are seeing dramatic improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration.
As AI capabilities continue to advance, reality capture will increasingly automate not just documentation but also progress tracking, quality control, and predictive analytics. Construction teams that embrace these technologies now will gain significant competitive advantages through reduced costs, faster project delivery, and improved client satisfaction.
