Construction Progress Drone Photography

Survey-grade orthomosaic drone services — cut/fill reports, stockpile volumes, and civil engineering drone mapping for Atlanta Metro and the Southeast.

What We Deliver

Accurate Data From Pre-Bid to Final As-Built

Earthwork is one of the highest-risk line items on any construction budget. Brown's Aerial Photography gives estimators and project managers defensible quantity data from the start — cut/fill reports, stockpile volumes, and existing grade models that reflect actual site conditions, not assumptions.

Our date-stamped, georeferenced deliverables are formatted for Civil 3D and AutoCAD so your team can import directly into your estimating workflow — and hold up in lender draw inspections, insurance claims, and subcontractor disputes.

Our Process

From Pre-Bid Survey to Final Documentation

01

Pre-Bid Site Analysis

We fly the site before bidding so your estimators understand existing conditions, terrain complexity, and earthwork challenges — before your number goes out the door.

02

Baseline Survey & Kickoff

We establish existing grades and a recurring flight schedule aligned with your construction milestones and reporting needs.

03

Scheduled Site Flights

Our pilots conduct regular flights capturing high-resolution imagery, orthomosaics, and surface models across the entire site.

04

Cut/Fill & Volume Reports

Surface models are compared against design data to produce cut/fill reports, stockpile volumes, and grade verification deliverables.

05

Progress Documentation & Delivery

Organized photo sets, annotated maps, and reports are delivered to your team on schedule — formatted for your workflow.
