Business and Industrial
Colorado Aerial Photography and Mapping has photographed numerous properties among a wide variety of industries. We have worked with Fortune 500 companies, small businesses and everything in-between.
The types of subjects we have photographed are practically endless. Some examples include, construction sites, events, real estate, entire cities, roofs, power lines, utilities, pipeline routes, irrigation analysis, wildlife surveys, environmental surveys, traffic survey, roads and highways, bridges, crops, mines, power plants, railroad yards, schools, ski resorts, gun clubs, and water treatment facilities.
Construction Progress
Colorado Aerial Photography and Mapping has many years of experience serving the construction industry. Our construction progress photography service includes complete aerial photography coverage of your job site taken on a consistent schedule. Wide angle and close up views from all directions will be included. We understand that timely delivery of the imagery is vital and for that reason we always make sure the photos are available for download no later than the day after the flight. In special circumstances we can offer same day service.
We offer both drone and traditional aircraft service. One benefit of using the aircraft is that the camera is substantially higher resolution than any camera found on a drone. Additionally, some companies prefer to have photography taken from the aircraft so that there is no need to have a drone operator on site, possibly endangering him/herself or others.
Comercial & Residential Real Estate
We have been serving both commercial and residential real estate markets since 2003 so we know exactly what to deliver to satisfy the needs of our clients. For commercial real estate clients we recommend taking the photographs from our aircraft, which is not limited by the 400 foot FAA maximum altitude for drones. We understand that in commercial real estate, being able to showcase a property and the proximity to other businesses and highways is vital. Flying higher in our aircraft allows us to show your property and it’s surroundings to a much greater extent than a low flying drone.
Colorado Aerial Photography and Mapping has a catalog of stock photography of popular business areas around Denver and Colorado springs. For clients looking for a quick low cost solution we may have a stock photograph of your property already on hand.
Vertical Photography & Aerial Mapping
Vertical photography is captured with the camera mounted perpendicular to the ground so as to provide a straight down or “map view”. Our aircraft is specially equipped to capture this type of imagery. We are capable of photographing anything from small sites that can be cap-tured in a single image up to hundreds of square miles at resolutions as high as 3 inches per pixel.
We can utilize our drone to capture 3D imagery of small locations (approximately 100 acres or less). These images show topographical detail and the sides of buildings. Another use of the 3d imagery is measuring quantity of material in stock piles. Depth of quarries, mines, etc.
Colorado Aerial Photography and Mapping has a company pilot that is FAA licensed for all of our operations and fully insured. We understand the importance of our imagery to your business and will always prioritize safety, quality and consistent customer service.
