The Challenge

An out-of-state developer managing a 12-acre commercial pad site along the I-75 corridor in Ocala needed consistent visual documentation to satisfy their lender's monthly draw schedule and keep remote stakeholders informed without requiring site visits.

Our Approach

352 Construction Drone Services deployed on a weekly schedule throughout the 14-month project, delivering timestamped 20MP aerial photo sets and 4K video flyovers on the client’s schedule. Deliverables were organized by milestone and shared via a secure digital portal.

The Result

The developer completed all lender draw requests on schedule with zero documentation disputes. Remote stakeholders reported significantly improved project visibility, and the PM credited the aerial record with resolving one subcontractor billing discrepancy before it escalated.

Legal Costs from Dispute
The Challenge

A Gainesville-area GC breaking ground on a 47-lot residential subdivision needed a pre-construction aerial baseline to document adjacent property conditions before clearing, followed by monthly progress monitoring for their construction lender.

Our Approach

We completed a full pre-construction documentation flight two days before clearing began, capturing all adjacent lot conditions, drainage patterns, and existing tree lines. Monthly progress flights continued throughout the 18-month build, providing the lender with consistent aerial documentation at each draw milestone.

The Result

When a neighboring property owner filed a complaint about drainage changes mid-project, the pre-construction aerial record clearly showed the drainage pattern existed before clearing began. The complaint was resolved without legal action. The lender draw schedule ran without interruption.

The Challenge

A commercial real estate developer completing a 200,000 sq ft industrial facility near the Wildwood I-75 interchange needed high-quality aerial photography and video for their investor presentation and marketing materials.

Our Approach

352 Construction Drone Services conducted a single-day aerial photography and 4K video production session at project completion. We delivered color-graded cinematic footage highlighting the facility's scale, highway access, and proximity to the interchange — optimized for both presentation and social media.

The Result

The developer used the aerial footage in their investor pitch deck and marketing campaign. The project was fully leased within 60 days of completion — the developer credited the aerial visuals with accelerating investor and tenant decision-making.
