Weekly progress photography, cut/fill reports, grade verification, and as-built surveys for Rome contractors and developers. FAA Part 107 certified — based 45 minutes away in Cartersville.
Why Rome Contractors Choose Us
Rome is the commercial and industrial hub of Northwest Georgia — with Floyd County's manufacturing base, the medical corridor anchored by Atrium Health Floyd, and a growing wave of commercial and residential development along the US-411 and US-27 corridors. Construction activity here demands documentation that meets the standards of regional developers and institutional lenders.
Brown's Aerial Photography provides Rome contractors and developers with the aerial documentation programs that protect schedules, support lender draws, and create the defensible project record your team needs — weekly progress photography, cut/fill reports, grade verification, and as-built surveys in formats your workflow can use.
We're based in Cartersville — about 45 minutes southeast on US-411 — and serve Floyd County and the surrounding NW Georgia region.

Progress Documentation — Week Over Week
Georeferenced · Date-stamped · Dispute-ready
The Business Case
A single construction dispute — over schedule delays, changed conditions, or subcontractor scope — can cost more to litigate than the original contract value. Weekly aerial documentation creates a contemporaneous record that is difficult to argue with.
Lenders and owners requiring draw inspection support are finding that drone-derived progress documentation provides independent verification faster and at lower cost than traditional inspection methods.
For Rome projects with active earthwork, drone-derived volumetric data supports pay applications with cut and fill quantities accurate to within 1–3% of traditional survey methods — produced in hours, not days.
What We Deliver
Every deliverable is formatted for your workflow — Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and standard project management platforms.
Date-stamped, georeferenced aerial captures on a schedule tied to your project milestones — formatted for lender draws, owner reporting, and dispute resolution.
Color-coded difference maps quantifying material to cut and fill across the entire site — formatted for Civil 3D and AutoCAD.
Measure dirt, aggregate, and material piles to within 1–3% accuracy for cost estimating and inventory tracking.
Compare as-built grades against design plans before paving or concrete crews mobilize — catch problems early and avoid costly rework.
Establish accurate baseline grades before earthwork begins — the foundation your estimate and schedule depend on.
Confirm finished grades match design tolerances and produce a permanent record for owner closeout and warranty documentation.
