Case studies publish as engagements complete.

We would rather show you nothing than show you someone else's stock imagery with a made-up client name attached. Until real engagements close, here is exactly how the work is structured, and what the deliverable actually looks like.

From a live capture

Two dates, one flight path, three weeks apart.

This is a real progress pair off an active multifamily project, flown September 9 and October 1. It is shown unlabeled and without a client name, because it is here to demonstrate the deliverable, not to claim a result.

The same flight, in every direction

One camera position, or all of them.

The pair above is a single view. This is the whole sphere from a fixed point on the same site, captured September 9, which is the left frame of the comparison. The context around the work sits in the frame alongside the work.

Read this first. The three profiles below are engagement models, not completed client work. They describe how services are typically combined on a given project type, the cadence, and what gets delivered. No client is named and no result is claimed.

Engagement model 01

Mid-rise multifamily, 8 acres, 18 month build

The most common shape for a full-program engagement. One monthly flight feeds three separate deliverables sold to three separate parties, which is why the per-party price is lower than any of them would pay for a dedicated capture.

Documentation begins before mobilization so the baseline exists, then runs on a fixed monthly cadence to substantial completion. The time-lapse compiles from captures that were being made anyway.

  • Marketing capture program, Tier 2Monthly
  • Cumulative time-lapseAt closeout
  • Completion hero videoAt closeout
  • Engagement length18 months

Engagement model 02

Industrial logistics build, 60 acres, 15 months

Earthwork dominates the early schedule and the early risk, so the engagement front-loads RTK mapping with placed ground control and monthly volumetric verification against the design surface.

Once the slab is down the cadence shifts toward vertical progress documentation and closes with final asset documentation for the owner's record set.

  • Monthly earthwork and grading conformanceRetainer
  • Progress verification report, ownerMonthly
  • Post-grade certification mappingOne-time
  • Final closeout asset documentationAt completion
  • Engagement length15 months

Engagement model 03

Adjuster firm preferred vendor

Volume rather than complexity. A modest monthly retainer buys response priority, which is the thing that actually matters in the week after a regional storm event when every roof in the state needs looking at.

Inspections run at a volume rate, and catastrophe activations are quoted separately so a bad week does not blow up the retainer.

Complimentary capture

Would you rather see the work than read about it?

We fly a small number of active projects near our base each month at no charge, so that both parties can see the deliverable before anyone signs anything. If your project is inside an hour of Clinton, Connecticut, ask about it.
