By the end of 2020, an estimated 7 million drones will be in use in the United States. Many drones are operated by hobbyists, but the number of professional applications for sUAS (Small Unmanned Aerial Systems) like aerial photography is steadily on the rise. Construction site aerial photography services with drones have almost completely replaced the need for manned flights.
The reasons why drone aerial construction photography has grown so popular has a lot to do with cost. Continue reading for a quick run-down on the many benefits.
Aerial Photography
Aerial construction photography helps builders see their construction projects differently. It gives a top-down view which can alert contractors to potential problems before they occur. Construction photography services help line up plans to reality.
With the explosion of drones, this process has become far more accessible and less expensive. Previous aerial construction site photography required crewed airplanes to fly over. You had to pay for the pilot, the fuel, the equipment, and the photography.
With Pro Aerial Media, you purchase the package you want, and we come to you. We can survey large areas or take direct photographs of high-altitude objects. Almost anything you want is possible.
Drone Photography Costs
Aerial photography has been a game-changer in the field of aerial photography with an average cost of $250 to $350 per flight as opposed to thousands for manned operations. This has opened up the use of aerial photography in projects that couldn’t have afforded it before.
Benefits of Aerial Photography
There are numerous benefits, and they go well beyond cost. The real advantage of drone aerial photography resides in the results of their work.
1. More Accurate Survey of Land
Aerial photography drones sare able to sweep an entire construction site in minutes. Detailed aerial sweeps no longer require a large crew. This saves time and money while also providing a superior product for construction superintendents.
Unlike crewed flights, our drones can get much closer to their targets. That means increased resolution in the photography and videos you order.
2. Less Safety Risks
Flying drones is far safer than operating manned craft. Construction site photography can be done without risking the lives of anyone. Construction photography with drones has never caused any significant injuries or deaths.
3. Improved Communication and Coordination
If you need a big picture view of your job site, nothing works better than drone aerial photography. Drone photography takes the guesswork out of monitoring an entire job site. Even if your job site is acres across, a single drone can cover it in minutes.
A More Cost-Effective Option
Our drones can survey and photograph an area with both video and still photography. Aerial photography like we offer used to cost thousands of dollars when done traditionally. We offer you this service at a fraction of the cost.
Technology has helped make a lot of things in our world easier to achieve. Aerial photography has long been known to give an edge to the construction businesses that use it. Get your job done safely, correctly, and document your progress for future marketing using the benefits of aerial drone photography today.
