Aerial progress documentation for contractors, owners, and lenders — flown by a career carpenter who knows what a superintendent needs to see before the concrete truck leaves. Same viewpoints every visit, organized by date and build phase.
Owners and lenders release money against visible progress. When a sub swears it was already installed and the GC swears it wasn't, a dated aerial record settles it.
Give owners a record they can actually read — the whole site, from the same angles, every visit — instead of a narrative update nobody re-reads.
Draw requests backed by dated, phase-organized photos of exactly what was in place when the money was asked for.
Trenches, footings, and underground systems photographed in the open — the only window where a permanent record is possible.
The same prices on this page are the ones on the printed list — pick a category to see the packages. Every construction visit carries the same deliverables; a retainer only changes the price per visit and locks in your scheduling.
One documented visit for a milestone, a draw, or a phase change — embeds before the pour, framing stage, trench open before backfill.
Two site visits a month with the same deliverables as a single visit. Standing documentation for the life of the project.
Four visits a month for active phases where owners and lenders want eyes on the job every week.
Illustrative viewHigh-resolution aerial photos with annotations flagging damage, wear, and problem areas.
Everything in the Roof Survey, plus a written report you can hand to a homeowner, buyer, or insurance adjuster.

Everything in the Photo Package, plus a 60-second aerial highlight reel — ready for listings and social media.
Turnaround: construction 48 hours; real estate and roof photos next day, with video and written reports within 48 hours. Same-day rush delivery — $75. Travel beyond the included 30-mile radius — $1 per mile (round-trip miles beyond 30). Service area: Riverside + Inland Empire. Prices as listed Oct 28, 2026.
Consistency is the product. Positions are GPS-saved and re-flown, so this month's set lines up frame-for-frame with last month's — progress you can flip between and compare.
North, east, south, and west of site center at a fixed altitude — the week-over-week money shot.
Straight-down coverage of the full site at 75% / 65% overlap with exposure locked across the run.
Straight-on shots of each building face — floor-by-floor, course-by-course progress.
Tight shots of what's moving today: pours, picks, grading, staging — captioned by location and activity.
One high wide showing the full site in its neighborhood context.
Shot on a DJI Mavic 2 Pro — 1-inch Hasselblad sensor, 20 MP stills in RAW + JPEG. White balance locked and exposure fixed on grid work, so color and light stay comparable from visit to visit.
Two Riverside construction sites flown Oct 29, 2026 — with top-up flights on Oct 31 adding cardinal obliques at Mulberry Gardens and foundation detail at Eastside Elementary — a grading-phase portfolio visit to a third Riverside site on Oct 31, plus a pre-backfill septic system record flown Oct 23 for Dependable Septic Service. Tap any photo to view it full-size.
Eden Housing, 209 units across two phases in one stop: the 150-unit family phase in framing, and the 59-unit senior phase next door. From straight down, the framing reads like a plan set — wall layouts, courtyards, decks, and the red telehandler working the middle of the site.
Top-up — Oct 31, 2026: four cardinal obliques added below, flown as portfolio/sample work to round out the Oct 29 top-down set. Each oblique shows the framing in context with the completed senior phase, staging, and surrounding streets.
Ofelia Valdez-Yeager Eastside Elementary — a $118.25M TK–6 campus with grading and underground utilities ongoing. At this stage the story is in the dirt: footing excavations, stem walls, staged pipe, and equipment spread across the full footprint.
Top-up — Oct 31, 2026: five foundation and detail shots added below, flown as portfolio/sample work to fill the detail gap in the Oct 29 set — tight top-downs of the poured foundation footprint and stem-wall line, plus grading and staged-material views.
A 347-unit apartment community planned as five 4-story buildings on the former Kmart parcel in the Mission Grove area of south Riverside, now in the grading phase. This set is sample work from a portfolio visit on Oct 31, 2026 — not a paid client job. The four cardinal obliques show the full pad scraped and tracked, the earthmoving fleet staged mid-site, and the active cut-and-fill pattern that reads only from the air.
A complete septic system documented for Dependable Septic Service in the one window where a record like this exists — after installation, before backfill. The full layout reads from the air in a single pass: the concrete tank and its riser openings, the building sewer run coming in, and the distribution trenches fanning out to four seepage pits. Once the dirt goes back, this set is the only proof of where everything sits.
Four steps, no portal to learn and no account to manage. You get files you can forward to an owner, a lender, or an adjuster as-is.
Pick the service and an open time on the booking page — what needs documenting, where, and the date it must be captured before work covers it. Retainer sites get their visit rhythm set by text or call.
Flown under FAA Part 107 rules with a registered aircraft. Progress sites are flown from saved positions so repeat visits match frame for frame.
You receive the edited photo set plus a short progress clip, organized by date and build phase — construction sets within 48 hours.
Visits repeat weekly, twice a month, per phase, or at milestones — each one directly comparable to the last.
Airspace checked before every launch. Under 400 ft AGL, visual line of sight at all times, never over people or moving traffic, clear of cranes and active lift zones. Launches from public property on public-facing portfolio work.
ISO 100, RAW + JPEG, white balance locked around 5500K, f/4–f/5.6, fast shutter on grid flights, and five-shot bracketing on obliques and elevations — the same recipe on every visit, so nothing drifts between sets.
AsBuilt Aerial is run by Joseph Mora, a career carpenter who has spent his working life on construction sites across the Inland Empire. That background is the whole point: he reads plans, knows the phasing, and knows what a superintendent needs to see before the concrete truck leaves — so the photos answer job-site questions instead of just looking nice.
Every set arrives organized the way a job file is organized — by date and build phase — because that's how owners, lenders, and supers actually use it. Embeds before the pour. Trench open before backfill. Framing stage. Final walk-through.
Booking happens on the AsBuilt Aerial booking page — choose the service, pick an open time, and you're scheduled. Prefer to talk it through first? Text or call the number below.
Use this number for a text message or a phone call if you have to reach Joseph directly — questions, retainers, or a same-day rush. For a standard booking, the booking page is faster. Riverside-based; if a phase is about to be covered, say so — those dates jump the queue.
Three services, booked by the visit — plus a short call to start a retainer. Pick the one that fits on the booking page and choose your time there:
Retainers start with a kickoff call — book the Start a Retainer time above and we'll agree the visit cadence, get the agreement signed, and schedule your first flight. Same-day rush isn't booked on the page — text or call (951) 222-9469 and we'll set that up directly.
