Optimize Your Construction Aerial Updates
Choosing the Right Aerial Photography Partner
Aerial updates are used more than ever to help win competitive contracts and improve client communication. Demand for aerials is growing as construction booms and aerials are promoted regularly to show site progression, cleanliness, safety and more. In 2015 aerial updates were used extensively by nearly all commercial construction companies. But are you getting the most from using aerial updates?
We Can Help Answer:
Do drones work better than using an aerial photographer? Which sites should we use our own drones to save money? When is it better to use our drones instead of an aerial photographer? How can we reduce our aerial costs overall? How can we promote our aerial photography updates?
Aerial Imaging can help you:
1. Promote Your Aerials To Help Win Future Work
2. Reduce Your Aerial Update Costs
Promote Your Aerials to Help Win Future Work
Updating your clients with your aerial updates will help improve client communication and strengthen your long-term relationship. Aerial updates also give you more control, provides you with images to use in future Marketing, and prevents your clients from obtaining aerials elsewhere. Using your marketing department or field managers to centralize and coordinate your monthly aerial updates has many advantages:
- Better control of your aerials for management and Marketing.
- Share your aerials across your company and with your clients.
- Simplify the aerial process – one contact for your aerial updates.
- Allows Project Managers to do project management.

Current Aerial Landscape
Project Managers (PM’s) are typically responsible for locating their own local aerial photographer to do their aerial site updates monthly. PM’s each use different aerial photographers and pay typically $300 to $400 per site update. This price depends on site location and frequency, but this is an expected average amount. By using one photographer and updating the sites at the same time, we can lower the price to approximately $200 or even $175 depending on frequency and location.
Here is an example:
Example: 15 Sites in Phoenix Area
Current: Project Managers currently paying an average of
$300 per site among 4-5 aerial photographers:
@ 15 sites each month
= $4,500 Total Monthly Cost
Solution: Bundle your aerials for
$175 per site (half the above price)
@ 15 sites each month
= $2,625 Total Monthly Cost
This is a Potential Savings of $1,875 Monthly on Aerial Updates!
