About
Built for Construction Professionals Who Need Reliable Site Documentation
Not just aerial photography. Skyland Pixels was built for commercial contractors, developers, and survey teams across Florida who needed proof of progress, record of conditions, and documentation that actually holds up when something goes wrong.

The Story Behind Skyland Pixels
I learned to weld in high school from a Vietnam veteran instructor who threw me into every project the shop had. By 18, I was working at Northland Process Piping, certified in food-grade stainless welding for large-scale cheese production facilities. I spent six years on that crew, four of them running the shop, working on tanks, pipe fitting, conveyor systems, and process infrastructure for Leprino Foods.
Construction moves fast, and the details that matter are often gone before anyone thinks to document them.
When I was running crews, I saw it happen constantly. A subcontractor would arrive, complete their scope, and leave. Conditions changed. Materials were covered up. Work got buried behind walls, slabs, ceilings, or finishes. Months later, when a question came up about what was installed, when it happened, or what the site looked like before the next trade started, there was no clear record. No dated photos. No structured documentation. No proof.
That is the problem I built Skyland Pixels to solve.
We provide construction progress documentation for general contractors, developers, construction managers, lenders, and project teams who need a clear visual record of what is happening on site. Our work helps teams track progress, verify completed work, support draw requests, reduce disputes, communicate with stakeholders, and maintain a reliable record from start to finish.
Every flight, photo, and report is built around one goal:
Make construction progress clear, organized, and defensible.
We serve commercial general contractors, developers, construction managers, and survey partners from Orlando and Jacksonville across Central Florida.
Who We Work With
General Contractors
Progress documentation, sub tracking, owner updates, lender draws, dispute documentation. Reports the GC team can hand off without reformatting.
Developers
Site visibility across multiple projects, investor-ready documentation, time-lapse as a post-construction marketing asset.
Construction Managers
Multi-site coordination, RFI support, closeout documentation. Structured for teams running three jobsites at once, not just one.
Survey Partners
Existing conditions, photogrammetry, 3D modeling, pre-survey site documentation. Files ready for AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, QGIS, and Trimble Business Center.
How We Work
We show up. We capture. We deliver.
Most projects in our Orlando service area are on site within 48 hours of confirmed booking. Every visit comes with a dated photo report, a written narrative of what we observed, and the raw image archive. Add-ons include orthomosaics, 3D models, stockpile volumetrics, and time-lapse clips. Ready to use, not just ready to view.
