Aerial Construction Photography in Florida

AERIAL CONSTRUCTION PHOTOGRAPHY

Aerial construction photography is the single visit version of drone work on a job site. You need a current picture of the whole site from above: for the bid package, for the milestone that just happened, for the project page on your website, or for the record you want dated before the equipment arrives. We fly it, we hand you the files, and you use them.

581 Drone Services works out of Sebring, in Highlands County, which sits close to the middle of the peninsula. Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota and Fort Myers are all around a two hour drive, so we come to your site rather than charging you to fly a crew in. Every flight is run by a Part 107 certificated remote pilot.

If what you need is the same angles repeated month after month for lender draws and owner reporting, that is construction progress photography and it is priced differently. If you need measurable data rather than pictures, see construction site mapping. Not sure which fits? Tell us about the project and we will say so plainly.

What A Single Visit Covers

Bid and Proposal Photography

A current aerial of the site, the adjacent parcels and the access routes, shot before the proposal goes out. It shows the owner you have actually looked at the ground.

Milestone and Topping Out

The pour, the steel going up, the day the roof closes in. One scheduled visit, planned around the event and around the weather window rather than a fixed hour.

Marketing and Award Submissions

Full resolution stills sized for a project page, a submission board or a printed capability statement, licensed for your own marketing use.

Pre-Construction Condition Records

Dated aerials of neighboring property, existing pavement and drainage before you mobilize. Cheap insurance if a condition claim turns up later.

Florida Metro Coverage

We shoot construction sites across Florida, from single building infill projects to multi phase developments. These are the metros we drive to regularly. Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota and Fort Myers are all roughly two hours from our base in Sebring, so travel is not the line item it usually is.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about aerial construction photography in Florida.

Aerial construction photography is a single visit for a specific purpose: a bid, a milestone, a marketing shot, a dated record. Construction progress photography is a recurring flight from the same angles, month after month, so the images line up over time. If you need the second one, see our construction progress photography page.
We are based in Sebring, near the middle of the peninsula. Orlando, Kissimmee, Lakeland, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Fort Myers and Naples are all roughly one and a half to two and a half hours by road. For most jobs we can be on site within a few days, sooner if the weather cooperates.
Full resolution JPEG stills, delivered through a download link. Tell us what the images are for and we will frame and select for that use rather than handing over an undifferentiated dump.
Yes, for a topping out, a ribbon cutting or a large pour. Wind and cloud decide what is possible on the day, so we book a window rather than an hour, and we will tell you honestly if conditions will not give you a usable image.
Often, yes. Most commercial addresses in Orlando and Tampa sit under controlled airspace. Authorization is handled through LAANC or a filing with the FAA before the flight, and it is part of the job rather than something you have to chase.
Yes. We photograph from navigable airspace and do not need to enter the property, so a site you are still evaluating or bidding is fine.
Orlando, Kissimmee, Lakeland, Ocala, Melbourne, Daytona Beach, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, Bradenton, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Port St. Lucie, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, plus Lake County and Brevard County.
It depends on the size of the site, the drive and how many deliverables you need. Because we drive from Sebring rather than flying a crew in, travel is not the line item it usually is. Send us the address and the purpose and you will get a number.
