Orthomosaics ~ 2d mapping

Construction professionals use orthomosaics to create accurate site plans that include features such as topography, drainage, and existing structures. 

This can help to ensure that the construction project is properly designed and that any potential issues are identified before construction begins and flow according to 

An orthomosaic is a high definition, low altitude, top down view of the job site.

This can help to ensure that the construction project is properly designed and that any potential issues are identified before construction begins and flow according to plan.

3d mapping & Modeling

These models can be used to create accurate topographical maps, identify potential obstacles or hazards, and plan the placement of buildings and infrastructure.

This can help construction professionals to optimize the design of a project, minimize the risk of construction delays, and improve the overall efficiency of the construction process.

Cut-and-fill models can be used to measure cut-and-fill data and monitor the inventory of supplies and materials

"For an exterior inspection of a 15-story building, we would traditionally have spent a lot of money in hiring workers to set up scaffolding, and then the inspection crew would do their job; it would have taken weeks. But when using drones, it took only 4 hours to complete the flying, 8 hours to process the data, and another 4 hours to analyze it. It was uncanny how fast we finished that inspection!”
Richard Lopez,

“Sometimes, you find yourself in a finger-pointing match. ‘Hey, you’re behind!’ ‘No, you’re behind’! But drone data takes all of that away. We have a picture of the site from two days ago to prove we’re not behind. So once that caught hold, we haven’t been thrown under the bus in a long time.”

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are revolutionizing the construction industry by drastically reducing the number of man-hours required to perform various tasks on construction sites. By using UAVs for inspections, equipment management, and strategic planning, construction companies can streamline their operations, improve efficiency, and save time and money.

One of the primary benefits of using drones in construction is their ability to perform inspections more quickly and accurately than traditional methods. When equipped with high-resolution cameras drones can capture detailed images and videos of the construction site, allowing construction organizations to identify potential issues and monitor progress more efficiently. This can help to improve safety, reduce the risk of errors, and ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget.

Drones can also be used to manage equipment more effectively. By using drones to monitor the movement and use of equipment on construction sites, construction companies can optimize equipment utilization, reduce downtime, and identify potential maintenance issues before they become more serious. This can help to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of equipment maintenance and repairs.

Moreover, drones can be used for strategic planning, such as creating 3D models of construction sites and analyzing data to improve decision-making. By using drones to collect data and create accurate 3D models of construction sites, construction companies can better visualize the project and identify potential issues before they occur. This can help to optimize resource allocation, reduce waste, and improve the overall efficiency of the construction process.

In the construction industry, finishing projects on time is critical to ensure that the project stays within budget and meets the expectations of clients. However, keeping track of the progress of a construction project can be challenging, particularly on large-scale projects where multiple teams are working simultaneously. This is where periodic drone photos of the site can be a beneficial tool in monitoring the current progress and keeping everyone informed.

By using drones to capture high-resolution aerial images of the construction site on a regular basis, construction companies can keep track of the progress of the project and identify any potential issues early on. These images can be compared to previous images to track the rate of progress and identify any areas where work may be falling behind schedule or not meeting quality standards.

Aerial photos and videos captured from previous completed construction jobs can be a valuable marketing tool for construction companies. By showcasing high-quality aerial imagery of past projects, construction companies can effectively communicate their expertise and capabilities to potential new clients.

Using aerial photos and videos, construction companies can create a visually stunning portfolio of their work, showcasing the quality of their craftsmanship and the unique features of each project. By presenting these images and videos on their website, social media channels, or in promotional materials, construction companies can establish credibility and build trust with potential clients.

you asked we answered

Dragonfly Drones is based out of Austin, Texas. Although we work with a network of pilots that can provide services to anywhere in the United States. 

Dragonfly Drones has been in the drone industry for a little over 7 years. We came from a background in private aviation and incorporated drone technology into our business model

For the construction industry we offer: 


2D orthomosaic maps

3D Models

Photo Progression Reports

Video Progression Reports

360 Panoramas

Yes, all of our drone pilots have a part 107 drone certificate.

We also carry insurance starting at a million dollar policy.

We provide weekly data uploads via a digital link.

The data can be viewed from a Google drive link or webpage link sent to you by email.

Most clients use our data incorporated into their monday morning action plan meetings.

Pricing and quotes are developed based on a square footage of the property / project and the number of periodic uploads you desire.

Once we know the size of the project we can send you a quote report that day

Drone photography and video works best on an empty site, this helps provide the most accurate data, but there are workarounds to this.

Typically we film on the weekends when the job site is empty, but it doesn’t have to be in order to complete the job.
