Construction + capital monitoring
Same flight path. Same altitude. Same day of the month. Owner, lender, GC and investor all see identical, time-stamped data instead of four different stories.
The problem
The contractor says the site is 60% complete. The owner thinks it is 45%. The lender wants independent verification before releasing the next draw. The investor has not visited the site in three months.
The argument is not about the work. The argument is about the evidence. When every party is looking at the same georeferenced, time-stamped aerial record, the dispute disappears.
Who this is for
You are funding the project. You need independent verification that the work billed actually happened before you release capital.
Objective, time-stamped progress documentation tied directly to draw milestones. No reliance on contractor self-reporting. One defensible record every party can reference.
Draw approvals backed by aerial evidence, not assumptions.
You are paying for the project. You need to know the site matches the schedule, the grading matches the design and the quantities match the invoice.
Volumetric earthwork verification, as-built vs. design surface comparison and repeatable progress capture that turns every scheduled flight into an objective site record.
Pay for what was built. Know what was built. Prove what was built.
You are building the project. Disputes over completion percentages, quantities and site conditions cost time and money.
Defensible aerial documentation that supports your pay applications, validates your earthwork quantities and gives the owner and lender the same picture you see every day on site.
Faster draw approvals. Fewer disputes. Documented proof of progress.
You are backing the project. You need clear, consistent visibility into site progress without visiting every site in your portfolio.
Monthly flyover video, progress photography and milestone reporting that gives you portfolio-wide situational awareness from your desk.
Confident capital deployment. Informed board updates. No surprises.
How it works
The mission is saved after the first flight. Every visit after that flies the exact same lines, so month-over-month progress is a true comparison — not two different pilots shooting from two different angles.
We start with the draw schedule, the design surface and the question the data needs to answer. The flight plan is built backward from the deliverable.
First flight captures the full site with RTK-controlled ground truth. This becomes the reference surface every future visit is measured against.
Same waypoints, same altitude, same camera settings. Saved mission, not a pilot flying freehand. Month-over-month progress is apples to apples because the data collection is identical.
Orthomosaics, volumetrics, progress reports and surface models are processed in-house and delivered within 48 hours. Nothing gets outsourced. Nothing sits in a queue.
What you receive
Full-site, georeferenced aerial map with sub-centimeter metadata. Every pixel is time-stamped.
RTK-controlled surface comparison against design grade. Actual numbers behind the earthwork, not estimates.
Same waypoints, same altitude, same camera angle every visit. Month-over-month that actually compares.
Milestone completion percentages mapped to the approved draw schedule. One document, one source of truth.
Interactive as-built terrain your team can measure, annotate and compare against the design surface from a browser.
Short, cinematic site overview for investor updates, board presentations and stakeholder communication.
Why IntelAerial
“The deliverable is not the image. It is the confidence to approve the next draw.”
IntelAerial's public safety division is led by Cecil Moses — a former FBI agent who spent many years with the FBI in Alabama, including leading the Birmingham field office, and later served as Chief of Police of Madison, Alabama. FAA Part 107 certified flight crews with experience across complex, regulated missions. U.S.-based data handling. Full chain-of-custody documentation on every flight.
Processing happens here — not outsourced, not queued behind someone else's project. Standard delivery is under 48 hours. Nothing leaves the intelligence chain between flight and deliverable.
