11 Months of Weekly Aerial Progress Documentation for a New Walmart Supercenter in Lady Lake, FL

It looks like 48+ separate on-site visits, each one a fixed slot in the week. Every visit produces the same set of deliverables: a full aerial photo set, four 360-degree panoramas (one at each corner of the site), a current orthomosaic of the entire site, and a short video pass for stakeholder use. The work runs in parallel with the construction schedule, so the site looks different every visit: site prep one week, foundation the next, steel the next, walls, roof, paving, closeout. The project is a continuous record, not a one-time event.

A new build is a 6-12 month sequence of distinct phases. Each phase has its own deliverable milestones: foundation inspection, structural steel, dry-in, MEP rough-in, drywall, finishes, paving, certificate of occupancy. Weekly aerial visits give the project team, the owner, the lender, and the GC a continuous dated record of where the project stood at every point. The record supports pay applications, lender draws, schedule tracking, change-order documentation, and stakeholder updates. It is the only way to get a high-altitude, dated, objective view of a project that is changing every week.

The four corner panoramas are a contextual record of the site from each cardinal direction. They show the project in its surroundings: approach roads, neighboring properties, site access, laydown areas, vertical construction as it rises above grade. Panoramas are useful for stakeholders who want to see the site without flying to it, and they support a wide range of secondary uses: marketing, community relations, lender updates, and project closeout presentations. Over a 11-month engagement, the cumulative panorama set becomes a complete visual record of the build from every angle.

Yes. Volume calculations were done at multiple points across the 11-month engagement to support earthwork and site work tracking. The site required cut and fill balancing for the building pad, the parking lot subgrade, and the gas station pad. Volumetric documentation gave the site work team and the GC a defensible record of how much material moved at each phase, and it supported progress payments to the earthwork subcontractor against the actual material moved on the ground.

Skyland Pixels was engaged as the on-site capture partner by a national aerial data provider who needed boots-on-the-ground weekly coverage of the project. The data provider set the visit cadence, the deliverable spec, and the quality bar. Skyland Pixels handled the weekly on-site capture, the per-visit deliverables, and the secure transfer of the data back to the data provider for downstream processing and final delivery. The work ran on a 11-month retention with weekly site visits. The relationship was straightforward: consistent cadence, consistent deliverables, consistent quality.

The final deliverable was a complete dated record of the project: 48+ weeks of aerial photo sets, a complete set of 360-degree panoramas, the orthomosaic from each visit showing the site at every stage, the volumetric calculations at each measurement point, and a final compiled set of deliverables. The full record is a continuous visual history of the build from groundbreaking to substantial completion, structured so any stakeholder can pull a specific week, a specific phase, or a specific deliverable type on demand.

Yes. The same weekly cadence, the same deliverable set, and the same volumetric work apply to any commercial construction project: office build, retail, hospitality, healthcare, industrial, multi-family, infrastructure. The visit cadence is set by the project team. A 6-month project gets 24+ visits. A 12-month project gets 50+. The pricing scales with visit frequency and project duration.
