Construction Documentation Services

---

Construction documentation is independent visual reporting of your jobsite from the first stage of land preparation through completion. Each visit produces objective proof of conditions, progress, and the true state of the project at that moment in time.

Most builders already take photos, but those images are usually informal. They are taken from different places, different heights, and different angles. They are not neutral. They rarely hold up when a dispute, delay, or safety question comes up.

My documentation is different. It is consistent, repeatable, and independent. I fly the same paths, capture the same angles, and provide a record that carries weight. This protects your crews, your subcontractors, your company, and your reputation.

This service is designed for:

• Developers
   
• Home builders
   
• Excavation and grading crews
   
• Infrastructure teams
   
• Investors and project managers
   

If something goes wrong, you have verifiable evidence of what was done, when it was done, and what conditions existed at the time.

• Reduce liability exposure
  Neutral imagery documents conditions before and after work, reducing risk during disputes.
   
• Protect your team and subcontractors
  Timestamps show exactly what areas were accessible, staged, or completed.
   
• Improve accountability across the job
  Progress becomes trackable and communication becomes clearer.
   
• Keep investors and stakeholders informed
  Clean updates without walking a site or disrupting crews.
   
• Strengthen your project reporting
  A documented job is a protected job. Every session adds to your historical record.
   

Documentation is not a luxury. It is a safety net that protects your work, your people, and your bottom line.

Every documentation session includes:

• High-resolution aerial photos of the entire site
   
• Multiple angles including top-down, oblique, perimeter, and approach
   
• Clear labeling and organized deliverables
   
• Timestamped imagery for accountability
   
• Secure digital delivery within 48 hours
   
• Up to three nearby sites covered under one session
  Available exclusively for partnered clients with recurring documentation. Secondary sites must fall within a 5-mile radius and be reasonable in scope.
   
•  A fully organized 1TB project archive drive delivered at project completion Available exclusively for partnered clients with recurring documentation. Your entire project history; indexed, labeled, and ready for internal audits, investor updates, or future disputes.
   
• A secondary long-term backup maintained by Views From Above                      Available exclusively for partnered clients with recurring documentation. 

• A consistent visual record you can reference months or years later
   

Your imagery is structured for archiving, reporting, and communicating with homeowners, inspectors, subs, or legal teams.

Builders use this service during:

• Clearing and grading
   
• Foundations and footers
   
• Utility installation
   
• Framing
   
• Trusses and roofing
   
• Concrete pours
   
• Driveways and final grading
   
• New phases in development projects
   

Each visit adds another layer of protection for your project.

• Site Evaluation
  I review access points, airspace, and safety considerations.

  Your flight takes place at the agreed interval.
   
• Image Capture
  Aerial photos are taken using FAA Part 107 compliant procedures.

• Trusted by Tennessee builders and development teams
   

Builders are not looking for pretty photos. They need reliable proof. You get accuracy, consistency, and accountability every time.

Before land clearing began, a developer requested third party aerial documentation to record the original site conditions.

A neighboring property later claimed grading work altered drainage patterns and damaged an existing slope.

The pre construction imagery clearly recorded:

• The original grade
   
• Natural runoff paths
   
• The condition of the slope before equipment moved in
   

Both parties reached a faster resolution because they could reference the same objective record.

Disputes move quickly. Memory does not. Documentation provides neutral evidence that protects everyone involved.

This example is based on real conditions and common disputes in the construction industry. It illustrates how third-party documentation protects builders when questions arise.

If you’ve ever been pulled into a dispute and thought “I wish we had proof of what it looked like before,” you already understand why third-party documentation matters. If you’re dealing with a current site condition or a claim and want clarity, reach out. I’ll review what you have for free and give you a neutral, experienced opinion you can stand behind. 

Your crews deserve clear, consistent documentation.
Your company deserves defensible records.
Your project deserves accuracy, not assumptions.
