Client Case Study: Drone Services for Bank Reporting on Residential Construction

Introduction

As a provider of specialized drone services, I was approached by a client to assist in the creation of a comprehensive bank report for an early-stage residential construction site. The objective was to capture detailed drone photos, video fly-throughs, and create a 2D orthomosaic map to illustrate the build progressions.

Challenge

The client needed to present a bank report that not only showcased the current status of the construction site but also demonstrated the development over time. They required:

• High-resolution aerial photographs to document the site’s initial condition and ongoing changes.
• Video fly-throughs to offer a dynamic and engaging view of the site.
• A 2D orthomosaic map with a before-and-after slider to visually represent the construction progress.

Solution

I provided a suite of drone services tailored to meet the client’s needs:

1. Aerial Photography: Utilizing advanced drone technology, I captured high-quality images from various angles and elevations, ensuring a comprehensive view of the site.
2. Video Fly-Throughs: I created smooth and cinematic video tours, highlighting the site’s layout and the construction’s progress.
3. Orthomosaic Mapping: By stitching together numerous aerial shots, I developed an interactive 2D map that allowed users to slide between ‘before’ and ‘after’ states, effectively displaying the site’s evolution.

Results

The deliverables were instrumental in the client’s report:

• The drone photos served as a clear record of the site’s early stages.
• The video fly-throughs engaged the bank’s interest, providing a unique perspective of the project.
• The orthomosaic map was a key feature in the report, offering an intuitive way to observe the site’s development over time.

Conclusion

The drone services I provided played a crucial role in the successful compilation of the bank report. The visual documentation facilitated a clear understanding of the project’s scope and progress, ultimately aiding in the client’s decision-making process.
