Structural steel

Steel going up, recorded properly.

Erection sequences, topping out and the finished frame, photographed and filmed for fabricators, erectors and the main contractor. There is a short window when the steel is up and the cladding isn’t, and it never looks that good again.

What you get

  • Stills and graded clips at each stage: steel arriving, first columns, full height, topping out.
  • An FPV run through the completed frame, flown continuously between the members, which very few operators in the region offer.
  • The pinned map, so every image sits where it was taken.
  • Delivered within 24 hours of each visit.

Who uses it

  • Fabricators and erectors, for tenders, the website and LinkedIn.
  • Main contractors, for proof of sequence and the client report.
  • Everyone else who has ever tried to photograph a steel frame from the ground and got a picture of a fence.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the site. Postcode, what’s being built, how long the programme is, and when your reporting date falls. We come back with a figure the same day.
  2. First visit. We fly the site, save the positions, and you get the first record within 24 hours. No commitment beyond that visit.
  3. Repeat at the interval you chose. Same positions every time. We aim to deliver two working days before your reporting date so the record is in the report, not after it.
  4. The map grows. Every visit adds a layer. By the end of the programme the client has the whole build, in order, from the same views.

Getting on site

Our pilot attends your induction and works to the site rules. CAA A2 Certificate of Competency; small, quiet aircraft that can work close to a live structure. Details on the credentials page.
