What 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.
Orlando Is Central Florida's Construction Epicenter
Central Florida is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, with the Orlando metro anchored by Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, the Orlando Health and AdventHealth systems, the University of Central Florida, Lockheed Martin, and a deep base of commercial general contractors supporting a continuous pipeline of new build, expansion, and tenant improvement work. The market favors general contractors and developers who can document their work in a structured format for stakeholders, lenders, and owners.
Our Orlando hub supports that work. We are based in the metro, we know the local permitting offices, we know the corridor names (I-4, 429, 414, 408, the 528 beachline), and we are on a same-day response cadence for most visits within the metro and primary service area. For projects outside our immediate coverage, we extend into the surrounding counties on a planned visit basis.

Why Orlando General Contractors ChooseSkyland Pixels
Local, Not Regional
We are based in Orlando. We respond on a same-day cadence for most metro visits. We know the corridor names, the permitting offices, and the major developments. We are not a regional company flying in from out of state.
Structured Deliverables, Not Pretty Pictures
Dated, geo-tagged photos organized in a stakeholder-ready PDF. A written narrative of what we observed. The raw image archive. Optional orthomosaics, 3D models, stockpile volumetrics. Ready for your project records, your bank, or your owner.
Florida Weather Expertise
Hurricane season, afternoon thunderstorms, summer heat, and the occasional tropical storm. 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.
48-Hour Turnaround, Every Visit
Standard 48-hour turnaround on every visit. Same-day delivery available for bank draw deadlines, insurance claims, and other urgent needs. We deliver to a private share link, an emailed PDF, or both.
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.
FAA-Certified and $1M Insured
FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot, OSHA-10 Construction Safety, $1M aviation liability insurance, 500+ flight hours. We carry the same certifications and insurance that commercial clients and their lenders expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you start a project in Orlando?
Most projects in our Orlando service area can be on site within 48-72 hours of confirmed booking. Time-lapse engagements typically start within 1-2 weeks of confirmed booking. Single visits and progress monitoring visits are scheduled on a rolling basis.
What areas does your Orlando hub cover?
Our Orlando hub covers Central Florida: Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, Volusia, Polk, and Brevard counties. We have a presence in Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, Lake Mary, Winter Garden, Clermont, Apopka, Mount Dora, Daytona Beach, Melbourne, and Lakeland.
Do you work with general contractors or only developers?
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.
What is the difference between time-lapse and progress monitoring?
Time-lapse uses scheduled aerial site visits compiled into a final video at substantial completion. Progress monitoring uses scheduled visits with a structured written report. We typically recommend both for long-duration projects: time-lapse for the marketing asset, progress monitoring for the operational record.
Do you handle lender documentation for bank draws?
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.
Do you have a sample report or time-lapse I can review?
Yes. Reach out and we will share a redacted sample progress report and a time-lapse compilation. We can also schedule a 15-minute call to walk through what your project would receive.
What is the cost of construction documentation in Orlando?
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. Volume discounts for ongoing engagements.
How do aerial site visits work in the Orlando market?
We schedule site flights on a fixed cadence that fits your project reporting cycle. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Each visit produces a date-stamped photo set, a written progress note, and a 48-hour report delivered to your portal or inbox.
Do you work with large commercial developers in Orlando?
Yes. We work with commercial GCs, developers, construction managers, and survey firms on projects from $500K to $50M+ across the Orlando metro, including Lake, Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties.
