Aerial data for a
more informed built environment.

Know where your project stands.

Aerial progress reporting backed by construction and development expertise. Catch issues early, cut wasted site visits, and build an objective record of your project from start to finish.

Construction Progress Reporting

Know what's changed, what's on track, and what needs attention.

GDI pairs recurring aerial site documentation with hands-on construction and real estate development experience. Each report goes beyond imagery: we track how the site changes from visit to visit, flag discrepancies and incomplete work, and point out what deserves a closer look.

Catching issues early can help reduce rework, unnecessary site visits, and repeat inspections, and it can limit delays before they compound.

Every report adds to an objective, time-stamped record of site conditions. That record is a reliable reference for verifying progress, updating owners, lenders, and stakeholders, and resolving conflicting accounts before they become costly disputes.

Recurring and project-specific reporting programs, with scope and deliverables tailored to the project.

Who it's for

For everyone who needs to know where the project stands.

Developers

Progress you can verify without driving to the site, and a record to share with lenders and investors.

General contractors

Earthwork quantities, sitework progress, and staging plans checked against the design and the ground as it actually is.

Owners & lenders

Third-party documentation that doesn't come from the party being paid.

Architects & preservation teams

Measurable existing-conditions records of historic buildings for preservation, repair, and renovation planning.
