Construction Progress Monitoring for Project Managers in Gainesville
Your Dedicated Drone Documentation Partner
352 Construction Drone Services brings professional aerial documentation to Gainesville and Alachua County. Whether you are managing a commercial development near I-75, a residential subdivision in Newberry, or a mixed-use project in midtown Gainesville, our FAA Part 107 certified pilots deliver the visual records your project demands.
As a project manager in Gainesville, you're responsible for keeping lenders satisfied with draw documentation, owners updated on milestone progress, and out-of-state stakeholders informed without requiring them to fly in for site visits. Disputes over earthwork quantities, subcontractor delays, and grading deviations are costly and time-consuming to resolve without visual evidence. Our aerial drone monitoring service gives you a timestamped, geotagged record of every phase of your Gainesville construction project — from clearing through vertical build — so you can answer every question, satisfy every requirement, and protect your project without leaving your desk.
