Construction Progress Monitoring
for Project Managers in Ocala
352 Construction Drone Services is based in Ocala, Florida. We are Marion County's dedicated provider of construction progress photography and aerial drone monitoring for the building industry. Whether you are managing a single-lot residential build or overseeing a 100-acre commercial development along the I-75 logistics corridor, our FAA Part 107 certified pilots deliver the visual documentation your project demands.
As a locally based company, we understand the pace of construction in Ocala and Marion County. We can mobilize quickly, respond to schedule changes, and provide the consistent visual record that keeps your stakeholders informed and your project protected.
Marion County's construction market runs on tight draw schedules and out-of-town money. Whether your lender is reviewing pay applications for a distribution facility off I-75 or an owner in another state wants proof that sitework along the SR 200 corridor is on schedule, you need documentation that answers questions before they're asked. Our aerial monitoring gives you a timestamped, geotagged record of every phase — clearing, earthwork, vertical, closeout — captured by pilots who are already in Ocala, not driving in from another county.

Flying Near Ocala International Airport (OCF)
Many Ocala construction sites fall within or near the Class D airspace of Ocala International Airport (OCF). We handle all airspace authorization on your behalf — you focus on your project.
FAA LAANC Authorization
Ocala International Airport (OCF) is a Class D controlled airport. Drone operations within its airspace require FAA authorization, which our pilots obtain through the LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) system — often within minutes. For sites requiring altitude above LAANC grid limits, we file formal Part 107 waiver requests with the FAA. All authorizations are documented and provided with your project deliverables.
Air Traffic Control Coordination
When operating near OCF, our pilots coordinate directly with Ocala ATC as required. We notify the tower of planned operations, confirm clearances, and maintain radio contact during flights when necessary. This ensures safe, compliant operations that protect both your project and the airport's traffic flow. We factor airspace coordination time into every project schedule near OCF.
