Site records · Flying now in South Africa

Your site, from the same points in the sky, every month.

A licensed local pilot flies your site on a saved flight plan. We turn every flight into photos, a fresh map, a comparison with last month and a one-page summary of what changed.

Who it's for

One record for everyone on the project.

Many people want to see how a build is going: the people who pay for it, run it or live next to it. A site record gives all of them the same view, every month.

  • Contractors

    Keep a dated record of what was built and when, and bring it to every site meeting.

  • Developers

    Keep buyers, partners and sales teams up to date without a site visit. Post the reel to market the development.

  • Project managers

    Check progress across several sites from your desk, with the same view every month.

  • Funders and banks

    Dated maps and summaries as supporting evidence for drawdowns, shared through a read-only link.

  • Estates

    Follow the build on every plot and keep a record of roads, verges and common areas.

  • Body corporates

    Record the complex before and after major works, and keep trustees and owners informed.

Questions

Questions about site records.

Anything else? Ask us when you get your price.

What happens if it rains on flight day?
Each flight is booked in a date window of a few days. If the weather is poor, your pilot flies on the next good day in that window, and we tell you when it is done.
Who owns the images?
You do. Use the photos, maps and reels in reports, tenders and marketing. We keep a copy in your archive so we can build the next comparison.
Can we share the record with our funder or bank?
Yes. Send them a read-only link to your archive. They see every flight, map and summary with its date, which helps as evidence for drawdowns. They cannot change anything.
How long is the contract?
Month-to-month plans have a 6-month minimum. A 12-month plan takes 8% off the monthly price and a 24-month plan takes 15% off.
Can we pause between flights?
Yes. Pause between flights for a site shutdown or a holiday break, then start again when you are ready. Your flight plan and archive stay in place.
Can we take measurements from the map?
Yes, as a progress guide. The Volumes and measurements add-on gives you areas, lengths and stockpile volumes each flight. For set-outs, levels or certified figures, ask for survey-grade mapping with a registered surveyor.
Does the pilot need access to the site?
The pilot needs a safe place to take off, usually near the gate or the site office. We agree it with your site manager before the first flight, along with any induction your site requires.
Our site is bigger than 25 hectares. Can you still do it?
Yes. Sites over 25 hectares are priced by our team within one working day. Trace your boundary in the instant price tool and we send you a price.
