Nobody can go back and shoot last March. Progress capture is the one aerial product where the value is entirely in the interval, and the interval is set by the build schedule rather than by the marketing calendar.

Yes. VeePo Media flies construction progress documentation across Alberta and British Columbia — repeat passes from fixed coordinates so a sequence reads as one continuous record. Airspace authorisation is filed where a site sits in controlled airspace, which covers most urban Alberta.
The same frame, from the same coordinates and altitude, at agreed intervals. The sequence is the deliverable; a single frame is not.
Cut, fill and drainage across the whole footprint at once — legible from directly overhead and almost invisible at ground level.
Laydown organisation, access routes, crane positioning and stockpile location as a measurable state rather than an impression.
Time-stamped documentation of what existed when — the record that settles a completion-percentage argument before it becomes a dispute.
The evidence

McKinsey research cited across the inspection sector finds that organisations relying on manual inspection spend materially more on maintenance and safety than those using drone-based assessment.
For a portfolio of assets, the inspection method is a recurring cost line, not a one-off purchase. The differential compounds annually.

Up to 75% less time
McKinsey & Company reports that drones can cut surveying time by up to three quarters against traditional ground methods — a three-day site survey completed inside one.
On a consulting engagement billed by the day, survey duration is not a line item. It is the schedule.

Over $40,000
The National Safety Council puts the average cost of a single workplace injury above forty thousand dollars, before any legal exposure.
Aerial capture removes the requirement to put a person at height or in a confined space to obtain the same image. That is a risk transfer, not a convenience.

At phase boundaries rather than on a fixed monthly cycle. The interval is set from the build schedule at scoping, because the value of the sequence comes from capturing transitions — and a transition that passes undocumented cannot be recovered.
It is commonly used as supporting evidence. What makes it defensible is provenance — a dated flight log recording where and when the aircraft flew, and a capture specification agreed before the shoot rather than reconstructed afterwards.
No. Capture is planned around active operations, with the flight path and timing agreed against the day's work. Stopping a site to photograph it would cost more than the imagery is worth.
