See every stage. Build with confidence.
We fly repeatable waypoint missions over active jobsites, so month 3 and month 14 line up frame for frame. Owners, lenders and the OAC team see one clean record instead of forty phone photos in a group text.
What we fly
Most projects start with monthly progress work and add cinematography at milestones. Mapping comes in when someone needs to measure something, not just look at it.
A standing appointment on your jobsite. Same waypoints, same altitude, same headings, every visit — so the set stacks chronologically and anyone can scrub through fourteen months in ninety seconds. Built for owner reporting, draw packages and OAC meetings.
You receive40–60 edited stills · nadir + 8 obliques · dated captions · draw-ready PDF
4K flyovers for groundbreaking, topping out, dry-in and TCO. Orbits, reveals and parallax push-ins cut into a piece your business development team will actually put in a proposal — not eleven minutes of raw hover footage.
You receive60–90 sec graded edit · :30 and :15 cutdowns · raw 4K clips
Existing conditions before you mobilize. Site context, adjacent structures, access and laydown, utility corridors — and the neighbor's roof you will be asked about eighteen months from now. Shot once, referenced for the life of the project.
You receiveExisting-conditions set · annotated site context · georeferenced originals
Photogrammetric flights that produce measurable data, not just pictures. Drop a current orthomosaic over your civil sheet, pull stockpile volumes before the earthwork invoice lands, or hand the design team a point cloud.
You receive1–2 cm/px orthomosaic · DSM · stockpile volumes · LAS point cloud on request
The difference
Anyone can fly a site once. The value shows up on visit fourteen, when the shot from the northeast corner is framed exactly the way it was on visit one — and the whole sequence reads as a single continuous record.
Same waypoint, same altitude, same heading — three visits, one continuous record.
On the first flight we set vantage points with your superintendent and log the GPS coordinate, altitude and heading for each one. Every flight after that is the same mission file.
One lens profile and one color treatment across the life of the project, so a February set and an August set do not look like two different buildings.
Files arrive named to your convention — project number, date, vantage point — so they drop straight into your photo folder or Procore album without anyone renaming 60 files by hand.
Engagement sequence
The first month takes coordination. After that it is a calendar invite your team stops having to think about.
We walk the site or the plan set with you, agree on vantage points and cadence, check airspace, and file LAANC authorization if the site sits under controlled airspace.
A two-hour window coordinated with your superintendent. No trade stoppage, no crane conflict, ground crew stays clear. We badge in and follow your site-specific orientation.
Color-matched edit, dated captions, vantage-point labels, and a quick review against last month's set so nothing in the sequence drifts.
Files land in the system you already use, plus a one-page monthly PDF that goes straight into the draw package without anyone rebuilding it.
Deliverables
We are not asking your team to learn another portal. Everything arrives where your project already lives.

Why CIG
We know what a superintendent needs and how that differs from what an owner's rep needs — and we deliver both without a second flight.
We do not cost you a work stoppage. Flights are planned around the crane, the pour and the crew, not the other way around.
We speak the paperwork. COI, site orientation, badging, safety plan — handled before mobilization, not negotiated in your gate trailer.
One point of contact for the life of the project. The pilot who set your waypoints in month one is the pilot flying them in month twenty.
Common questions
Yes. Flights are coordinated with your superintendent ahead of time, we maintain standoff from the crane radius and any suspended load, and we hold for picks. If the site is too active on the scheduled day, we reschedule within the same week at no charge.
Our pilots are FAA Part 107 certified and we file LAANC authorization for sites in controlled airspace. If a location needs a waiver or falls inside a restriction that would delay the work, we tell you before we quote — not after you have a schedule built around it.
Yes. A certificate of insurance naming your entity as additional insured is issued before mobilization, and our pilots complete your site-specific orientation and badging like any other subcontractor on the project.
Progress flights are rescheduled inside the same week at no additional charge. For milestone cinematography — a topping out, a ribbon cutting — we build a backup window into the schedule when we book it.
Progress documentation is priced per flight on a monthly agreement for the duration of the project, which is materially less per visit than one-off mobilizations. Cinematography, mapping and preconstruction surveys are quoted per engagement. Send the project details below and you will have a number back within one business day.
