DRONE DOCUMENTATION

Drone photography that lands in the same project record

A fixed camera sees one angle very well. A drone sees the whole footprint. Together they give you the site from the outside in — filed on one timeline, not in two unrelated folders.

What a drone session covers

A fixed site camera is deliberately static: the same frame, every ten minutes, so any two moments can be compared directly. What it cannot show you is the far corner of the plot, the roof, or the relationship between your site and the road, the neighbours and the services around it.

That is what a drone session is for. We fly the site on an agreed date and photograph it from above and around: the full footprint, the earthworks, roof levels, stockpiles, access routes and site set-up.

The output is a set of high-resolution photographs. They are meant to be looked at closely, compared with earlier sessions, sent to a client and kept.

Pinned to the project timeline

Each drone session is pinned to the project timeline on the date it was flown, alongside that day's camera photos.

So when someone asks a month later what the site looked like at the end of March, both answers are in the same place: the camera's ten-minute record from the ground, and the aerial set from the flight.

Drone sets behave like everything else in the portal — download them as part of an archive for any period, open them through a share link, or embed the view on your own website.

When teams book a flight

Sessions are scheduled rather than continuous, so the useful question is which dates are worth capturing from the air.

  • Before groundwork — the untouched plot, for the record
  • At milestones — foundations, structure, roof, handover
  • Before works are covered up — drainage, services, the state of the ground
  • For investor updates and marketing, where an aerial reads better than a ground shot

How it fits with the fixed camera

Drone sessions are arranged per project. Most teams run them alongside a fixed camera rather than instead of one, because the two answer different questions: the camera gives you continuity, the drone gives you coverage.

The photos live in the same encrypted EU storage, under the same project, with the same role-based access. There is nothing separate to log into and nothing separate to file.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. A session produces high-resolution photographs, not footage. They sit on the project timeline next to the camera photos and can be downloaded as part of an archive.
That depends on the project. Most teams book sessions around milestones — before groundwork, at foundations, at structure, at roof and at handover — and add flights before anything significant is covered up.
The same people who can see the project. Access is role-based per project, and anyone outside the portal can be given a share link with an optional password.
Yes. You lose the continuous ten-minute record between flights, but the aerial sets are still filed on the project timeline and downloadable as an archive.
