Construction documentation
Progress photos are most useful when every set can be compared with the last. SiouxSky captures your site from the same agreed positions and headings on each visit, then delivers dated, consistently named image sets your team can drop straight into reports, owner updates and project files.
The challenge
Stakeholders who can't visit the site still expect a clear picture of what has changed since the last update.
Staging, earthwork, utilities and building footprint are hard to understand from eye level.
When each set is shot from wherever someone happened to stand, month-over-month comparison turns into guesswork.
What can be performed
A set of capture positions, altitudes and headings agreed at the first visit and repeated every time after.
Single visits timed to key stages — site prep, foundations, framing, enclosure, site work, completion.
Weekly, biweekly or monthly visits on a schedule matched to the pace of the project.
Optional short aerial video passes over the site for presentations and owner updates.
Scope & limitations
How it works
Tell us the location, what you need captured, your timeframe and how the results will be used.
Share the site address, project timeline, site contact and who receives the updates.
You get a written scope listing views, deliverables, schedule assumptions and price — before anything is booked.
The scope lists viewpoints, visit frequency, deliverables and per-visit or milestone pricing.
Airspace, permissions, site access, weather and on-site conditions are reviewed and a flight window is set.
Site orientation, crane activity, airspace and the visit calendar are confirmed before the first flight.
Edited, organized files are delivered to the structure agreed in your scope.
Each visit is delivered as a dated set in the same structure, so records stay comparable.
Every flight depends on airspace, property-owner and site permissions, weather, site conditions and the regulations that apply at the time. If a flight can't be completed safely and legally, it won't be attempted — and you'll know before the visit.

FAQ
Capture positions, altitudes and camera headings are recorded at the first visit and reused on every visit after. Site changes — a new crane, fencing, a stockpile — can occasionally require a small adjustment, which is noted in the delivery.
Yes. Recurring schedules can be calendar-based, milestone-based or a mix, and the plan can flex as the project schedule changes.
Often, yes, with planning. Flights are coordinated with the superintendent and positioned to avoid flying over people who are not part of the operation, and around crane activity.
No. These services are visual documentation only. Measurement and volumetric products require mapping workflows and qualifications that are not currently offered.
