PROXYConstruction Progress Monitoring by Drone
A drone flight at each construction stage replaces dozens of site visits. Investors, architects, and supervisors see actual progress from a single image, without climbing scaffolding. Cost per inspection: just 600 RON, with zero human risk and optional 3D model.
How it works
The pilot performs a scheduled flight (weekly or on demand) over the site. Output: 4K aerial photos, scaled orthophoto, optional 3D model of the structure. Comparison with BIM plans reveals deviations before they become costly.
Comparison
| Criteria | Drone | Scaffolding / Cherry picker |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per inspection | 600 RON | 2,000-5,000 RON (setup) |
| Practical frequency | Weekly | Monthly (cost prohibitive) |
| Safety | Zero human risk | Fall risk |
| 3D model | Yes — photogrammetry | No |
| Digital report | Automatic with GPS timestamp | Manual |
When you need this
Drone monitoring is useful in the following scenarios:
- Periodic reporting — investors, financing bank
- Compliance verification — execution vs. design comparison
- Legal documentation — completion stage, contractual disputes
Why ProxyDrone
Schedule recurring flights throughout the entire construction period. Reports accumulate into a visual progress timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule monitoring flights?
We recommend weekly flights or at each important construction stage. With ProxyDrone you can schedule recurring flights automatically.
What do I receive after each monitoring flight?
4K aerial photos, real-scale orthophoto with GPS timestamp, and optionally a 3D model of the structure for BIM comparison.
Can I use the reports for the financing bank?
Yes. Reports include visual evidence with date and GPS coordinates, accepted by banks and investors as official progress documentation.
How much does monitoring cost for the entire construction period?
An individual inspection costs 600 RON. For recurring contracts (e.g., weekly for 12 months), we offer packages with significant discounts.
