General Questions

At Florida Construction Drone Services, we exclusively hire FAA Part 107-certified pilots and ensure full compliance with FAA registration and licensing requirements for commercial drone operations. In addition, we hold specialized waivers that allow us to operate in restricted airspace and under conditions that many other companies legally cannot. If a project requires additional authorizations, we have the expertise to obtain the necessary waivers.

If you come across a company offering suspiciously low prices, they may be operating illegally without proper FAA certification. Any commercial drone operator flying a UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) between 0.55 and 55 pounds must hold a Part 107 Certification and have their drone properly registered. Hiring an unlicensed operator not only puts your project at risk but also violates FAA regulations, potentially leading to legal and financial consequences. Always choose a certified and compliant drone service provider for your construction needs.

At Florida Construction Drone Services, we prioritize safety and compliance, which is why we carry full flight liability insurance through our trusted insurance partners. Additionally, all of our drones and aerial equipment are fully insured, ensuring protection for both our clients and our operations.

sUAS (Small Unmanned Aircraft System) insurance is vastly different from general business liability or professional liability insurance. In most cases, standard policies do not cover damage caused by a flying object, making specialized drone insurance essential for safe and legal operations. When choosing a drone service provider, always confirm they have the proper aviation-specific coverage to protect your project.

At Florida Construction Drone Services, we hire only highly qualified drone pilots with a minimum of three years of professional experience in aerial operations. Each pilot is FAA Part 107-certified and held to exceptionally high standards, ensuring every flight meets the highest levels of safety, precision, and quality.

Our team is skilled in capturing stunning aerial photography, high-quality drone videography, and precise aerial data for construction progress tracking, inspections, and mapping. Whether you need cinematic visuals or detailed site analytics, our pilots are equipped to deliver exceptional results every time.

At Florida Construction Drone Services, we have spent over a decade refining a specialized drone operations framework designed specifically for construction projects. Every pilot we hire is trained to follow this proven system, ensuring that aerial photography, videography, and data collection are conducted with precision, consistency, and reliability.

Our standardized approach allows us to deliver high-quality, reproducible imagery that accurately tracks construction progress over time. Whether capturing detailed site inspections, progress monitoring visuals, or high-resolution mapping, our pilots are equipped to provide clear, actionable aerial data that supports your project’s success.

While we strive to provide construction drone services wherever they’re needed, we cannot guarantee flight availability at every location. Our FAA-certified pilots strictly adhere to federal regulations, which include No-Fly Zones around airports, state parks, government buildings, and other restricted areas.

Before providing a quote, we conduct a thorough airspace evaluation to determine whether drone operations are permitted at your site. We also perform a final compliance check before each flight to ensure we meet all FAA regulations and safety requirements. Our commitment to legal and responsible drone operations ensures a safe, hassle-free experience for our clients.

At Florida Construction Drone Services, safety is our top priority. We maintain a perfect safety record, with zero liability claims and no safety infractions with the FAA, NTSB, or any local agencies throughout our years of commercial flight operations.

Our pilots follow strict safety protocols and FAA regulations on every mission, ensuring risk-free, compliant drone operations. With a commitment to precision, professionalism, and safety, we provide reliable aerial data and imagery without compromising on legal or operational standards.

Unlike many companies that offer flat-rate pricing, we understand that every construction project is unique. That’s why we tailor our pricing based on your specific needs, ensuring you only pay for the services that truly benefit your project—without unnecessary costs.

When it comes to aerial photography and videography, pricing can vary greatly. However, cheap doesn’t always mean value, and the most expensive services don’t always guarantee quality. At Florida Construction Drone Services, we take pride in delivering exceptional, high-resolution imagery and data at a fair and competitive rate, customized to meet the demands of each individual project.
