The Deliverable

Immersive site views.
Built for construction.

We capture equirectangular 360° panoramas at elevated vantage points across your site during each scheduled flight. These aren't static photos — they're interactive, navigable views that let anyone with the link explore the full site environment.

⬡
Full-Sphere Coverage
Every panorama captures a complete 360° horizontal and 180° vertical field of view — from ground to sky. No blind spots. No cropped edges. Ideal for documenting site conditions in every direction from a single capture point.
📍
Georeferenced Capture Points
Each panorama is tied to a GPS coordinate. When delivered through DroneDeploy, they're plotted directly on your site map so viewers can click a pin and jump into the view from that exact location.
🔁
Recurring Milestone Records
Panoramas captured on a recurring schedule give you a time-stamped, navigable record of your site at each documentation interval — useful for progress tracking, dispute resolution, and before/after documentation.
🔗
Shareable via Link
Each panorama set is accessible via a direct URL — no app download required, no login needed unless you want it gated. Share with owners, lenders, and executives in a single email link.
📱
Works on Any Device
Browser-based panorama viewing on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Drag to look around, pinch to zoom. No special software, no VR headset required for day-to-day site review.
📊
Scoped for Active Sites
Capture points are chosen based on your site layout and documentation priorities — not a generic grid. Entrances, staging areas, active earthwork zones, and structure progress are prioritized per visit.

Delivery Options

Two ways to access
your panoramas.

We deliver panoramas through the platform that fits your workflow — either integrated into DroneDeploy for teams already on that platform, or hosted privately by us on a dedicated client page alongside your photos, videos, and maps.

DroneDeploy Integration
In-Platform with Your Maps & Models
If your team is already using DroneDeploy for project management or site mapping, panoramas are uploaded directly to your DroneDeploy project. They appear as interactive pins on the map layer alongside orthomosaic tiles and point clouds — so your whole documentation layer lives in one place.
Map-pinned panoramas DroneDeploy account required Team access controls Historical timeline view
Private Client Page
Your Own Hosted Documentation Hub
We build and host a private web page for your project that collects all deliverables in one place — panoramas, progress photos, 4K video, and orthomosaic maps. Shareable via a single URL. No platform account required. Ideal for owner updates, lender draws, or executive review without requiring any software installation.

Who Uses It

Built for the people who
run the project.

360° panoramas solve specific communication and documentation problems that come up on active commercial construction sites. Here's where they earn their place in the documentation program.

✓
Remote Stakeholder Review
Owners, executives, and lenders who can't be on-site can review the full site environment from their browser — no flights required, no site visit logistics.
✓
Pre-Claim Site Condition Records
Time-stamped 360° panoramas at each milestone create a comprehensive record of site conditions before work is completed — useful for protecting against neighbor claims and disputes.
✓
Owner & Executive Progress Updates
Replace written progress updates with an interactive site walkthrough. Share a link, let the owner explore, and reduce back-and-forth status calls.
✓
Data Center Site Documentation
Hyperscale and colocation construction moves fast. Recurring panoramas give facility planners and project managers a navigable site record at each commissioning milestone, without requiring access to a restricted site.
✓
Superintendent Coordination
When crews are on multiple sites, a current 360° panorama gives the superintendent an accurate read on site conditions before driving out — useful for coordinating equipment, subcontractors, and material staging.
✓
Lender Draw Documentation
Include a panorama link in your draw request package. Lenders can verify completion percentage visually without requiring an in-person inspection on every draw cycle.
✓
Safety Walkthroughs & Condition Audits
Panoramas capture full environmental context — scaffolding placement, material storage, access routes, PPE compliance zones — that a nadir photo alone cannot document.
✓
VDC & BIM Coordination Support
Reality-capture panoramas can be referenced alongside BIM models to compare as-built conditions against design at each phase — particularly useful for underground and structure phase documentation.
✓
Subcontractor Pre-Mobilization Walks
Send subs a current 360° view of their work area before they mobilize — reducing scope surprises, cutting RFIs, and keeping handoffs clean between trades on a shared site.

How It Works

From site to screen
in 24 hours.

Adding 360° panoramas to your documentation program doesn't add friction. They're captured during the same flight as your progress photos and maps.

Capture
Photographed During Your Scheduled Flight
360° panoramas are captured using a dedicated spherical camera alongside the main drone payload. They're part of the same flight — no additional scheduling, no extra site visit.
Process
Stitched, Leveled, and Georeferenced
Raw captures are stitched into equirectangular panoramas, leveled for correct horizon presentation, and tagged with GPS coordinates for map-pinned delivery.
Publish
Uploaded to Your Delivery Platform
Panoramas are uploaded to DroneDeploy or your private client page within 24 hours. You get a notification with the direct link, ready to share with your team or owner immediately.
Access
Viewable Anywhere, No App Required
Browser-based interactive viewer works on any desktop, tablet, or phone. Click, drag, and zoom. Pinned to your site map if delivered via DroneDeploy.

Part of the Program

360° panoramas are better
alongside the rest.

360° panoramas are most powerful when they're part of a recurring documentation program that also includes orthomosaic maps, progress photography, and 4K video. Every deliverable type captures a different layer of your site.

Standalone — Limited Value
Panoramas Only
  • Immersive view, but no measurement capability
  • No top-down context for spatial orientation
  • No video for stakeholder storytelling
  • No georeferenced map overlay
Full Program — Complete Visibility
Panoramas + Maps + Photos + Video
  • Orthomosaic map with panorama pins overlaid
  • Navigate from map view into any panorama
  • Progress photos for comparison reporting
  • 4K video for executive and owner updates
