Drone Video for Construction Progress: A Buyer's Guide
Monthly aerial flyovers turn into the most-watched marketing asset most builders own. Here's how to do it right.
A monthly drone capture of a construction site does three things at once: documents progress for owners and lenders, creates marketing content, and gives the field team a clear visual record.
Schedule a recurring flight. Same time of month, same flight path, same altitude. Consistency makes the time-lapse work.
Capture both video and stills. 4K video for the marketing reel, high-resolution stills for documentation and reports.
Standard deliverables. A 30–60 second highlight cut, a "before/after" comparison, and a folder of stills delivered the same week.
Mind the rules. Commercial drone work in the US requires a Part 107 pilot. Confirm your provider is licensed and insured — this is the bare minimum.
Year-end time-lapse. Twelve monthly captures stitched together is the most-shared video most builders ever post. Plan for it from month one.
