Who We Work With

Built for the teams building coastal Georgia.

General contractors, site developers, home builders, facility managers, and roofers who need a reliable record of what's happening on the ground, without spending the afternoon walking it.

You're in the right place if you're tired of:

  • Walking a hundred-acre site in July heat just to write a progress update
  • Owners and lenders asking for updates you piece together from phone photos
  • Disputes over what was installed, and when, with no dated record to settle them
  • Roof and storm claims stalled until someone can get up a ladder
  • Drone vendors who hand over pretty pictures but no files your engineers can open

One flight, three audiences. Your engineers get data they can drop into CAD and GIS, your field team gets a map they can open on a phone, and your owners get an update they understand at a glance.

Engineers & GIS

GeoTIFF, DWG/DXF, LAS point clouds, SHP, and KMZ, in your project's coordinate system.

Field & PMs

An interactive cloud map to measure and annotate, plus an organized photo folder.

Owners & Lenders

A branded progress email with then-and-now images and a short written summary.

"Will with Blue Nose Aerial Imaging is an excellent drone pilot. He set up a safety perimeter, and he had multiple charged batteries and a portable charging station. We promptly received all of the photos and images that we needed for our project. I recommend Blue Nose Aerial Imaging."

FAQ

Questions we hear from Savannah teams.

How often should we fly an active construction site?

Most projects run biweekly or monthly. Fast-moving phases like grading, vertical framing, or paving often justify weekly flights. We'll recommend a cadence on the scope call and adjust as the job changes.

Can you fly near the Savannah airport, Hunter, or Fort Stewart?

Often, yes. Much of the metro sits in controlled airspace, and we request the required FAA authorizations or coordinate with the installation before flight day. Some locations need extra lead time, so mention the address early.

What file formats do you deliver?

Common deliverables include GeoTIFF orthomosaics, DWG/DXF linework and contours, LAS point clouds, SHP and KMZ files, high-resolution photo sets, and video. Tell us what software your team uses and we'll match it.

Is this a land survey?

No. Our aerial data supports planning, documentation, and progress tracking, but it is not a licensed survey. When certified work is required, we coordinate with your licensed surveyor so the data can serve both purposes.

What happens when the weather doesn't cooperate?

Coastal Georgia weather moves fast. We schedule morning flights when we can, watch wind and rain closely, and reschedule within an agreed window, so a stormy afternoon doesn't break your reporting cycle.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry active insurance and can send a certificate of insurance, naming your company as additional insured when required, before work begins.
