Safety and peace of mind

At Sky Photos, safety is more than a priority—it’s built into every flight we conduct. As an FAA Part 107 certified operator with full liability insurance, we follow rigorous procedures to ensure that every mission is performed with caution, compliance, and communication.


We operate with an understanding of construction site protocols, including coordination with site managers and safety officers to minimize disruption and risk. Flights are planned with risk assessments, airspace checks, and weather monitoring. Our drones are equipped with fail-safes for communication loss, flown only when conditions are safe and appropriate.


We arrive with Personal Protective Equipment and are OSHA-10 certified too.

    Drones capture hundreds or thousands of high-resolution aerial images, which are then processed into a seamless 2D orthomosaic map or 3D digital surface model (DSM). These models provide centimeter-level accuracy, allowing for precise measurements of slopes, drainage paths, and ground elevations.

    Safety is your job site priority

    Sky Photos documents conditions as they exist so there is no guessing about the situation on the ground. We can work on site safely during active operations (and following FAA regulations) as well as before/after/lunch shots to capture the site without activity.  Aerial images keep your crew out of dangerous climbing situations too.

    Cost Savings

    Operating your business in a vacuum leads to costly errors and issues. Use aerial photos and videos to provide valuable decision making data about your current status and where things may be headed.  Thermal images can tell a detailed story about how electricity or water are interacting on your site, and of course just documenting that what you had delivered is what you ordered offers value too.

    Time savings

    Project managers have a full time, high demand job. Craig, the owner of Sky Photos, has been in that exact role too. The single biggest thing was understanding the deliverable, the timeline, and the costs involved.  We can help document what was delivered, what is ongoing, and what is left to do at a site, and give you visual data you can share with your management to answer their questions too.
