CONSTRUCTION

As-built progress reporting provides a clear, verifiable record of how construction and site features take shape over time. Cadence Aerial uses structured drone capture methods to document completed work, active construction, and evolving site conditions in a way that supports comparison against plans, schedules, and prior site states.

Data collection is designed around consistency and repeatability, with custom waypoint missions capturing the same views and oblique angles at each reporting interval. Deliverables may include interactive, georeferenced reports as well as orthomosaic imagery and two-dimensional and three-dimensional mapping products that reflect current conditions. These outputs support coordination, remote review, and long-term documentation by providing an accurate visual and spatial record of the built environment at each stage of the project lifecycle.

LiDAR-based stockpile scanning provides an accurate and efficient way to measure material quantities across active construction sites. Cadence Aerial uses aerial LiDAR to capture high-density three-dimensional data of stockpiles, creating precise surface models that can be used to calculate material volumes without disrupting site operations or requiring ground measurements.

These volumetric measurements support construction planning, material tracking, and verification by delivering consistent, repeatable results that can be compared over time. LiDAR scanning reduces safety risks associated with climbing or traversing stockpiles, improves confidence in quantity reporting, and provides clear documentation that can be shared with project managers, suppliers, and stakeholders to support informed decision-making throughout the construction lifecycle.

Land acquisition and development benefit from early, accurate understanding of site conditions, terrain, and surrounding features. Cadence Aerial uses aerial imagery and LiDAR mapping to provide detailed two-dimensional and three-dimensional views of land parcels, supporting evaluation of topography, access, existing features, and overall site context—often without the need to physically visit the property.

In addition to mapping products, detailed aerial photography and video are available as standalone deliverables to support due diligence, documentation, and stakeholder review. These datasets provide clear visual insight into land characteristics and development constraints, allowing sites to be reviewed remotely and compared over time. By combining mapping and visual documentation, land and development teams gain a reliable foundation for informed planning and decision-making while minimizing time spent in the field.

Thermal imaging provides a non-invasive way to evaluate construction elements that are not visible through standard visual inspections. Cadence Aerial uses drone-based thermal sensors to assess building envelopes, roofing systems, and installed components by identifying temperature variations that may indicate insulation gaps, moisture intrusion, air leakage, or installation inconsistencies.

Thermal inspections are also used to evaluate solar arrays during construction or commissioning, helping identify underperforming panels, connection issues, or uneven heat patterns. When paired with visual imagery and georeferenced reporting, thermal data supports quality assurance, troubleshooting, and documentation by allowing conditions to be reviewed remotely and compared over time as construction progresses.
