Construction & Roofing

Book our skilled drone pilots for aerial measurement services, inspections and construction drone monitoring. Receive fast, data-rich aerial photos to make informed and actionable decisions.

Powerful Benefits

Data Rich Information

Epic Earth Videography’s experienced FAA Certified Drone Pilots can fly a mission high above the job site, sending real-time information to the engineers and project managers on the ground, or collect data to provide orthomosaic 2D mapping or 3D models that digitally capture every inch of a project.

Stay On Time and On Budget

We  know that monitoring your construction project from breaking ground to opening day is critical to spotting potential problems and staying on time and within budget. From roofing and solar panel projects to large undertakings, such as infrastructure projects or multi-building complexes, drone aerial inspection and monitoring is an efficient and cost-effective way to stay on top of it all.

Less Risk and More Accuracy

Drones in construction are becoming common-place because of the fast results without risk to workers. In the past most aerial views of construction sites were obtained by helicopter photography. This method is costly and time-consuming and can no longer compete with UAVs. A drone’s fast flight time and close navigation on site is providing close-up shots of multiple areas around a site that couldn’t be seen before, bringing data to decision makers far quicker and with more accuracy.

Quality Assurance

Conduct quality assurance to ensure compliance with building codes. Keep track of job site inventory. Proactively identify areas where structural integrity may be a concern. Turn data into 3D models to provide a realistic look at the project. Inspect solar panels, roofing equipment and air conditioners. Conduct comprehensive safety inspections. Package your final results as a showcase for owners or investors

We will always customize your drone services package to fit your project requirements and special needs. We are fully insured for each mission, and provide  a secure and private site for delivering downloadable videos and data within minutes of the mission.​

  • What areas do you serve?
    We serve the greater Colorado area and Southern Wyoming for photogrammetry and large and long term commercial real estate, or corporate marketing projects, with a Denver to Ft. Collins focus, for residential real estate, roof and solar inspections and construction progress/monitoring. These local areas include: Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Broomfield, Ft. Collins, Longmont, Loveland, Lyons and Greeley.
  • Can you add graphics to our video?
    Yes. We are happy to add any graphics you require and generally plan an opening or closing thumbnail image. Let us know your requirements or ideas and we’ll create it for you.
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    Complete cancelation of a scheduled project (not rescheduling the flight) for a home or property requires a 3 hour notice, due to drive time and preparation. If under 3 hours a $50 fee will be charged.
  • How should I prepare for drone photography and videography?
    Let us know up front of any special requirements for showcasing the property or site or any special target areas or building features you’d like photographed. Be sure to move any garbage cans if possible, from view and clean up natural debris and trash from the property. Move vehicles that may be blocking views of the property or are in the driveway. For homes, open all the curtains, shades and blinds, where possible. Note any large structures, poles or power lines that might be in the way of viewing or photographing your property. In many cases we can work around them, but it’s good to know and try to plan before arrival time. If it is extremely windy or raining on flight day, we may need to reschedule. Feel free to contact us if weather appears an issue in your area, if we don’t contact you first.
  • Do you offer drone fly-throughs?
    Yes! We offer two types. One is a quick overview flight we call a Drone Glide-through. Usually we do a home reveal from 50-100 ft. exterior view, fly into the front door, with a quick overview flight of each floor and main living space, then out a back door or porch door with reverse reveal of the backyard and property. The second is a slow full Walk-through Tour of each room, hall and garage. This can take the place of Matterport type photos and is faster with more realistic views. Ask about the details of these options when we chat about your listing.

  • How should I prepare for drone photography and videography?
    We will make a list of target areas, signage, branding needs, product/s or services to be highlighted. We will know up front all your special requirements for showcasing your organization or special project. We will determine together when UHD drone photographs vs video for certain things might be needed. Staying flexible is important, because once on site many things may change or come to light as the work progresses. If it is extremely windy or raining on flight day for exterior shoots, we may need to reschedule. Feel free to contact us if weather appears an issue in your area, if we don’t contact you first. Let your staff know we are coming. Have each target area for video clean and tidy and any product areas set so the full product can be viewed 360 degrees, if possible. Trust our professional pilots. They have met and dealt with most every possible situation and will know what they can do on site and what is too risky to attempt. Every mission is insured and every pilot is FAA certified and trained to do indoor flying.
  • Do you offer drone fly-throughs or operational tours inside a business?
