Additional Benefits…
Progress photography serve to show contractors, architects, engineers, owners, EPA, neighborhood organizations, protest groups, zoning, city commissions and investors — often thousands of miles away — how the construction is progressing. This helps planning for upcoming requirements during the life cycle of the project. The images also show your equipment at work and guard against consequential damages which harm the completion time-line and final profit. From a legal standpoint, the photography can also identify reasons why a project might be running behind–they will show snow, flooding, and other situations hindering progress such as subs not preforming on time
Architects, engineers, and subcontractors can utilize the benefits of the photographic documentation for analysis of their work on the project. The photographs are an excellent tool to study project delivery systems and look for ways to increase efficiency and productivity.
Ground photography is used when greater detail is needed to document specific areas of activities during the construction process. In cases where the contractors create their own digital images, Eagle’s Eye can make quality prints of the digital images. Color enlargements are a great way to display your equipment at work when making your proposals on future bids, displaying images in the conference room, or showing current work at a trade show display.
Many contractors order a final image and prints, titling the project to give to those who worked on the project for their portfolios.
We are flexible when special photographic needs arise and can adjust our flight schedule around local weather conditions. We can also easily accommodate special flight request.
