Drone construction site monitoring gives you an objective, regular visual record of how your works are progressing in Switzerland. With recurring flights, architects, clients and general contractors have dated visual evidence at every stage of the project — without interrupting the work.
Why document your site by drone?
An undocumented site is a site without a memory. In a dispute with a subcontractor, an insurer or a client, timestamped aerial images are irrefutable proof of the state of the site on a given date. They also make it possible to detect deviations from the original plan quickly and to manage resources more efficiently.
What each monitoring flight includes
- Full site flight with an optimised flight plan
- HD photos of the whole site and key areas
- Stabilised 4K video of progress
- Visual comparison with the previous flight
- Cloud archive organised by date
- PDF visual report for site meetings
Main applications
Progress tracking and reporting
Each flight produces a complete snapshot of the site on a specific date. Images are archived and accessible remotely by all stakeholders, which makes project reviews and coordination meetings easier.
Deviation detection
Comparing successive flights identifies areas of delay, deviations from the plans or coordination problems between trades before they get worse.
Legal protection
In a dispute over the quality of the work or compliance with deadlines, dated aerial images are admissible and incontestable evidence. Several Swiss insurers also require regular condition surveys on large sites.
Communication with stakeholders
Professional-quality aerial images build confidence among investors, developers and end clients by giving them a clear, objective view of the project’s real progress.
