How often should a construction site be photographed by drone?

For most development projects, monthly drone documentation provides a clear record of construction progress. Biweekly reporting is useful during active phases when site conditions change quickly or ownership, investors, or project teams need more frequent updates.

Can a drone capture the same construction viewpoint every month?

Yes. Formground uses repeatable flight positions, altitudes, camera directions and key viewpoints to create consistent progress photography. This allows images from different reporting periods to be compared side by side, making construction progress much easier to see.

What is included in a construction progress report?

A typical Formground report includes high-resolution aerial photography, repeatable site viewpoints, a video overview and organized progress imagery. Reports can also include side-by-side comparisons, ground photography and additional documentation depending on the project.

How much does monthly drone construction reporting cost in Alberta?

Pricing depends on the size and location of the site, number of viewpoints, reporting frequency and required deliverables. Formground offers monthly and biweekly reporting plans tailored to each development rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

What happens when weather prevents a scheduled drone flight?

If wind, precipitation, visibility or other conditions make flying unsafe or unsuitable, the site visit is rescheduled to the nearest appropriate weather window. Maintaining consistent image quality and safe flight conditions takes priority over capturing on an exact calendar date.

Can construction drone footage be used for marketing and investor reports?

Yes. Construction photography and aerial video can support internal reporting, ownership updates, investor presentations, websites, social media and development marketing. Formground can prepare visual assets for both project documentation and marketing use.
