Request a Jacksonville Project AssessmentWhat Is Aerial Construction Documentation?
Aerial construction documentation uses scheduled site visits with commercial aerial photography to create a dated visual record of your project from groundbreaking to certificate of occupancy. The record is built incrementally, visit by visit, so when a question comes up, you already have the answer.
Each site visit produces a geo-tagged photo set, a written progress note, and a 48-hour report delivered to your portal or inbox. For ongoing projects, the accumulated record becomes the project history. For disputes or lender draws, it is the first document you reach for.
Documentation that starts before you need it is documentation that works when it counts.
Jacksonville Is the First Coast's Construction Hub
Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida by population and the commercial center of Northeast Florida. The market is anchored by the Port of Jacksonville, Naval Station Mayport, the CSX and Florida East Coast rail corridors, and a deep base of commercial general contractors supporting ongoing commercial, healthcare, industrial, and multi-family buildouts. The First Coast market is distinct from Central Florida in cadence, climate, and the developer base, and the documentation needs reflect that.
Our Jacksonville coverage is delivered by a local team based in the First Coast market. You get the same quality of work and the same structured deliverables as our Orlando hub, with the cost and response time of a local team. The point of contact knows the corridor names, the permitting offices, and the major active developments across the Jacksonville metro.

Why Jacksonville General Contractors ChooseSkyland Pixels
Local Team, Not a Regional Sales Office
You are not scheduling through a regional rep in another state. You are scheduling with someone on the ground in the First Coast market who knows the corridor names, the permitting offices, and the active developments across the Jacksonville metro.
Same Quality, Local Execution
Same structured deliverables as the Orlando hub. Dated, geo-tagged photos in a stakeholder-ready PDF. A written narrative. The raw image archive. Optional orthomosaics, 3D models, stockpile volumetrics.
Northeast Florida Weather Expertise
Hurricane season, afternoon thunderstorms, and the coastal storm cycle. We know the calendar, we know the windows, and we schedule our flight days around them. Time-lapse flights are rescheduled if conditions are unsafe.
Time-Lapse Is the Anchor
Time-lapse is underserved in our market. Across the Florida aerial companies we reviewed, time-lapse as a dedicated service was rare. We made it a primary offering, not an add-on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you start a project in Jacksonville?
Most Jacksonville projects can be on site within 48 to 72 hours of confirmed booking. We confirm coverage for your specific site, including the wider Northeast Florida market (Ponte Vedra, Fernandina Beach, St. Johns, Green Cove Springs, Middleburg) on request. Same FAA Part 107, OSHA-10, $1M liability, and 48-hour deliverable turnaround as our Orlando hub.
What areas in the First Coast do you serve?
Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Orange Park, Fleming Island, and the surrounding First Coast market. Other Northeast Florida markets (Ponte Vedra, Fernandina Beach, St. Johns) are covered on request.

Both, plus construction managers, survey firms, and lenders. The most common engagement is with a GC who needs progress documentation, or a developer who needs time-lapse or lender documentation for a construction loan.

Yes. Dated, geo-tagged photo reports and orthomosaics are exactly what construction lenders need at each draw. We can package the report with your draw request or hand it off directly to the lender.
How do you handle active construction sites?
OSHA-10 certified, $1M insured, full jobsite safety briefing before any flight. We coordinate with site supervisors, stay clear of crews and equipment, and follow all jobsite-specific protocols.
What is the cost of construction documentation in Jacksonville?
Time-lapse engagements start at $1,200/month retention. Construction documentation single visits start at $450. Progress monitoring starts at $375/visit on a recurring schedule. 3D modeling starts at $850 per model. A travel fee may apply for sites outside the immediate Jacksonville metro.
