Construction progress drone photography every week, start to finish
Direct answer: OneFocus Photography offers weekly construction progress drone coverage for general contractors, developers, construction lenders, owners' reps, and commercial builders. A OneFocus drone pilot visits your job site once a week from groundbreaking to completion and captures aerial photos and aerial video from consistent angles. Each weekly visit is $347, the same price as our Drone Photography and Video service, in the cities on our coverage list.
Illustrative example
A construction site changes every week, and the people paying for it are rarely standing on it. Weekly aerial coverage gives your team, your lender, and your ownership group a clear, repeatable record of how the project is moving.
Each visit is booked as our Drone Photography and Video service: up to 20 aerial photos and up to 3 minutes of edited aerial video, captured over the whole site so progress reads at a glance.
We plan the first flight with you, then repeat the same positions, heights, and headings on every visit so the photos line up week over week for side-by-side comparison.
Week by week progress
The same drone position and angle, repeated on every visit, turns a job site into a clear progress story. The images below are illustrative examples, not a client project, and the week numbers are for illustration only. Every build runs on its own schedule.
Week 1: Groundbreaking. Illustrative example
Week 6: Foundation and slab. Illustrative example
Week 14: Steel and framing. Illustrative example
Week 24: Roof and exterior enclosed. Illustrative example
Week 36: Completed with landscaping and parking. Illustrative example

What you get each weekly visit
- Up to 20 aerial drone photos of the site and its surroundings
- Up to 3 minutes of edited aerial drone video
- The same reference angles on every visit, so weeks compare side by side
- Files ready for owner reports, lender updates, marketing, and project records
Consistent angles for week over week comparison
On the first visit we agree on a set of reference views with you, for example an overhead of the full footprint, each elevation, and a wide shot that shows the site in context with nearby streets.
Those views are repeated on every flight. Put an early week next to a late week and the change is obvious to anyone, including people who have never walked the site.
