In short
A pre-construction drone survey is a complete, dated aerial record of a site captured before mobilization, used to document existing conditions and establish the baseline every later flight is compared against. Agriflyte flies pre-construction surveys throughout the Oklahoma City metro, typically delivering the full baseline package within 24 hours.
Built for the people who have to make the call.
Developers
Document what you bought before anyone touches it.
General contractors
A dated record of conditions at mobilization.
Owners & lenders
Evidence of starting conditions for draw and dispute files.
Risk & insurance
Pre-existing damage documented, not argued about.
Every existing-conditions dispute is really a documentation dispute.
Was that fence already leaning? Was the neighbor’s drive already cracked? Did that drainage always pond in the northeast corner? Six months into a job, the only evidence is memory, and memory loses. A handful of phone photos taken on mobilization day does not cover 40 acres.
- Pre-existing damage claimed as contractor-caused
- Encroachments and easement conflicts found after grading starts
- Drainage and low spots discovered the first time it rains hard
- No dated, complete record to attach to a change order
A complete, timestamped baseline of the whole site before mobilization.
We capture the entire property — every corner, boundary, access point, structure, treeline and drainage path — as a georeferenced basemap plus a full library of dated imagery. It becomes the reference every later flight is compared against, and the file you reach for when someone disputes what was there on day one.
- Full-boundary capture including access roads and adjacent frontage
- Boundary, easement and utility overlays on the orthomosaic
- Oblique imagery of every structure and problem area
- Archived with capture date, altitude and GPS metadata intact

- Why do I need a pre-construction aerial survey?
- A pre-construction aerial survey is the only complete, dated record of what a site looked like before your crews arrived. It resolves existing-condition disputes, documents pre-existing damage, drainage and encroachments, and gives you defensible evidence to attach to a change order instead of relying on memory or a few phone photos.
- How quickly can you survey a site before we mobilize?
- Agriflyte typically schedules pre-construction surveys within two to three business days of request and delivers the baseline package in under 24 hours after the flight. A conventional topographic crew for the same site is usually one to two weeks out.
- What does the baseline package include?
- You receive a baseline orthomosaic of the full property, oblique imagery of every structure and problem area, boundary and easement overlays, existing-conditions notes referenced to the imagery, and an archive of every original frame with GPS and timestamp metadata intact.
