Construction Progress Monitoring for Project Managers
in Wildwood, Sumter County

352 Construction Drone Services brings professional aerial documentation to Wildwood, The Villages, and all of Sumter County. Whether you are managing a commercial development along the I-75 corridor, a new residential phase near The Villages, or an industrial project in Bushnell, our FAA Part 107 certified pilots deliver the visual records your project demands.

Out-of-state developers and investors no longer need to travel to Sumter County to verify progress. Our consistent aerial reports give your stakeholders a reliable, high-resolution view of the project from groundbreaking through final inspection — delivered on your timeline.

We know Wildwood's construction market because we've documented it: 39 aerial visits over the Old Dominion Freight Line LTL terminal build-out at the I-75 interchange, from first clearing to final paving. That project generated the timestamped visual record its stakeholders used for draw documentation, earthwork verification, and subcontractor billing — the same record we deliver for every Sumter County project we fly.

Location
I-75 Corridor

A leading regional construction firm was tasked with the 109-acre build-out of the Old Dominion Freight Line LTL terminal, strategically located near the high-traffic I-75 Wildwood exit. The project required rigorous oversight, frequent earthwork volume tracking, and high-level documentation to keep out-of-state stakeholders informed of rapid progress.

352 Construction Drone Services was contracted to provide comprehensive aerial intelligence over the entire project lifecycle. We deployed bi-weekly flights, conducting 37 progress visits plus 2 twilight/night photography visits — 39 flights total — providing a complete historical record from initial clearing to final paving.

The consistent bi-weekly imagery allowed us to verify subcontractor work, track earthwork volumes accurately, and keep our out-of-state stakeholders informed without expensive site visits.

Airspace Coordination

Flying Near Wildwood Airport (X60):
How We Handle Airspace

Wildwood Municipal Airport (X60)

Wildwood Municipal Airport (X60) is an uncontrolled general aviation airfield. While it does not require LAANC authorization like a Class D airport, responsible operations near X60 require:

  • Pre-flight NOTAM checks for active flight operations
  • Airspace classification verification before each mission
  • Voluntary airport notification for operations in proximity
  • Monitoring of Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF)
  • Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) checks for the I-75 corridor

FAA Part 107 Compliance

Every flight in Sumter County is conducted under FAA Part 107 commercial drone regulations. Our standard compliance process includes:

  • FAA Remote ID compliance on all aircraft
  • Pre-flight weather and visibility assessment
  • Maximum altitude adherence (400 ft AGL standard)
  • Visual line-of-sight operations maintained throughout
  • Full flight logs and documentation provided for your records

We handle all airspace coordination on your behalf. You focus on your project timeline — we manage the FAA checks, airport notifications, and compliance documentation. All clearances and flight logs are provided to you as part of your project file.
