I was 18 years old, living in Montreal, Canada, when I shot my first construction progress shots. That was many years ago, but even then contractors knew the value of recording what was happening on their construction sites. Shooting from the top of a nearby building, I remember wanting to be just a little higher so I could get a better view of things. Little did I realize that my later interest in flying would provide those coveted angles that really showed what was happening on the ground.
But enough of the past, let's look at what's happening today. The economy has taken a disturbing downward turn, building is off, and most businesses are cutting back or being very cautious with their spending. So why consider spending extra money on aerial construction progress photography? . . . . Because a visual image will help maximize your efforts, facilitate planning, and likely pay for itself in the long run! How? Information, that's how. We live in the information age. People want to know, and with aerial photography you'll have a record of what's been done and when it was completed, all verified by a third party. Your banker, out-of-town investors, or partners will also be pleased see the progress (and it might just save them a trip). Your web site will be updated with current photos that can show access routes and adjacent properties to promote your project to potential renters or buyers, not to mention possible customers for future projects. The images are guaranteed to be the centerpiece of your construction and planning meetings; when people can see how they are doing and how everything is coming together they get excited and feel a real sense of accomplishment. And don't forget your Board of Directors meetings; aerial images will be a hit there, too. Wouldn't it be great to have a professional-looking historical record of a project from start to finish? The answer is YES!
Nothing shows off a piece of property, building, or construction site like an aerial photograph! People always look at aerial photographs; they are unique. The "bird's eye" view shows it all. High-resolution, near real-time images are chock full of current, valuable information. In response to the economy, we have temporarily cut our prices for aerial progress photography. We think you'll be surprised at how affordable our services can be. Give us a call to discuss how we can make aerial photography a part of your current or upcoming construction project.
*Actually, we'll fly it, we'll shoot it, and you'll like it - guaranteed!
