Drones on Your Job Site
Drones, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), UAS's (Unammaned Aerial Systems), or whatever else you'd like to call them are becoming commonplace these days. You will be seeing more and more drones in many industries in the coming years.
VenturAir Drone Services looks to provide the best quality of imaging and aerial data collection with today’s cutting edge drone technologies. Utilizing aerial imaging and data we can help construction companies manage their resources more effectively, make decisions with more accurate data, track site progress more easily, provide methods to share progress with investors and customers alike, add to workplace safety, and save money throughout the process. The drone revolution has begun, and all organizations involved in the construction industry will benefit from the latest in aerial data collection.
A Sample Drone Model
Below is an example of a drone modeling project, and how we can overlay the model into Google.

Drone 2D Modeling
VenturAir Drone Services can assist with aerial modeling of your project. Aerial modeling can showcase your location, workplace progress, site features, and more. Investors and buyers alike can get a bird’s eye view of the overall location from start to finish, or they can get a finalized view of the project’s completion.
Drone based data collection for site modeling provides much more detail than a Google Map or Google Earth map. Seeing a site with detail on this level can be a compelling marketing feature, and can also be useful in planning development as a project is under way. Measurements, acreage, and volumetric measurements are all possible with properly selected targets. Of course, only a licensed land surveyor can interpret measurement data to ensure accuracy and compliance with the region you're building in. Our Team will happily supply all collected data to your survey team and work directly with them for specific data collection needs.
With quality information provided through drone modeling you can save both time and money relaying your project to any interested parties, while increasing workplace safety as well.
Drone 3D Modeling
A flat print map of your site is one thing, but with the latest 3D modeling technologies you can take it even further.
Seeing a project develop via 3D modeling can help provide investors with near real time information that demonstrates a site’s progress and current needs.
3D point clouds are generated from overlapped geo-referenced images giving you the accurate location in the object space. 3D models are highly dependent on the number of images provided and their overlap. The bottom line is simple. The more data captured in the field, the more realistic and usable the 3D models become. How accurate you'd like to be depends on your specific needs.
Drone Construction Progression
If you are starting a new project from the ground up, drone imaging and data capture can help you demonstrate site progress over time. Whether a few times a week, one week or multiple weeks a month, or once a month, aerial video, stills, and data points can be gathered from set locations to demonstrate whether or not your project is on time, and on budget or not. Developing a catalogue of your projects and their progression will also add to your ability to market your construction firm to other similar projects by demonstrating your workplace management and attention to timelines and time constraints.
Rooftop / Insurance Inspections
Rooftop inspections are labor intensive. Normally a two man team at least, needing to get onto the roof, and then conduct your inspection while keeping employee safety in mind. With today's UAV platforms these inspections can be conducted faster, and in a safer manner from the ground.
With the natural disasters gaining intensity, drone pilots have been in high demand. Collecting data and imaging of storm damage while keeping workers safely out of the damaged areas is just one example of how drones are helping the insurance industry.
