Construction Progress

Construction progress aerial photography provides consistent, high-quality visual documentation of a project from start to finish. By capturing images from above at regular intervals, stakeholders gain a clear, comprehensive view of site development, layout changes, and structural milestones. These images help track progress, identify potential issues early, and improve communication between contractors, developers, and clients. The 111th has participated in some of California’s most significant construction projects. These include:
  • Apple
  • Levi’s Stadium
  • California High-Speed Rail
  • Salesforce
  • Google
  • Over 100 solar sites
  • And many more
Whether your site is large or small, aerial photography of construction progress documents the site’s development, ensuring owners, investors, and banks that the project stays on schedule. In most cases, we will use our manned aircraft for your aerial photos that are ideal for reporting, marketing, and archiving purposes. They offer perspectives that are impossible to achieve from the ground, making them invaluable tools for presentations, inspections, and project management. With customizable flight schedules and GPS-coordinated repeatability, we ensure your imagery is consistent, accurate, and aligned with your project’s timeline.
