Seeing the Big Picture: How Drone Shots Elevate As-Built Homes Documentation
When it comes to documenting the construction of your home, ground-level photos are essential. But sometimes, the most valuable perspective comes from above. At As-Built Homes, we use drone technology to capture high-resolution aerial images at vital stages of construction.
Why Use Drones for As-Built Documentation?
Drones have revolutionized the construction industry by making it fast, safe, and cost-effective to gather detailed visual data from angles that were previously difficult or impossible to reach. Here’s how drone imagery benefits our clients:
1. Complete Site Surveying and Progress Monitoring
Drones can swiftly capture the entire construction site in a single flight, generating high-resolution aerial photos and video. This allows us to document not just the structure itself, but also its relationship to the land, driveways, landscaping, and neighboring properties. These comprehensive visuals are invaluable for understanding site layout, tracking progress, and planning future improvements. The images also provide a bird’s-eye view of your project as it advances. By comparing aerial images over time, you can see exactly how your home is taking shape.
2. Roof, Roofing, and Instillations
At As-Built Homes, we want to assure every stage of construction is well documented. This is a challenge for a high resolution camera on floor-level when it comes to what lives above our heads. The drone can be used for the bird’s eye view just feet from a structure - straight down or inspect from an angle.
3. Enhanced Communication and Collaboration
Aerial images and video are easy to share with contractors, designers, property managers, and homeowners and are shared with the high resolution images from a still camera. Everyone can see the same up-to-date view of the site, reducing miscommunication and ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned.
Drone-captured images become a permanent part of your As-Built documentation. They’re not just a historical record; they’re a tool for future renovations, expansions, or maintenance. When it’s time to make changes or repairs, you’ll have a clear, visual reference of how your home and property were originally constructed.
*One challenge unique to the Aspen area is that the conveniently located airport does restrict drone operations in the area. Enter your address in the below FAA map to see if your home’s location will allow for drone photography and videography.
