Construction progress monitoring by drone in Athens

A pilot flies your site on a regular schedule and captures the same viewpoints and survey grid each visit. Typical outputs are aerial photos and video, stitched orthomosaic maps, 3D models and side-by-side comparisons that show what changed since the last flight.

Most projects are flown weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on how fast the work moves and how often stakeholders need updates. Key milestones such as foundations, structural completion and handover are often captured with an extra flight.

Yes. Orthomosaics and point clouds can be georeferenced and overlaid on site plans, CAD drawings or BIM models, so project teams can check placement, spot deviations early and track earthworks against the design.

Contractors, developers, project managers, lenders and investors use them to verify progress, support payment claims, keep remote stakeholders informed and keep a dated visual record of the site in case of disputes.

The pilot must hold the licence or certificate required by the national aviation authority and follow local airspace rules. Many sites also need the site owner's permission, a site induction and a flight plan that keeps the drone away from workers and cranes.
