Construction Services--Aerial and On-Site (Ground Photography)

This web page describes the value and benefit to you of adding us to your building team and utilizing our professional photographic services to create visual data. This monthly or bi-monthly photographic service has become an important, required and widely used management tool in the construction building process.

Building construction site
By placing Eagle's Eye Photo on your construction team
, and utilizing our professional photographic, oblique aerial images and or ground documentation, you will have visual images created which support and become an intergral part of your record keeping process of the project. You gain third party documentation,which is vitally important from a legal stand point, when a dispute does arise. Contractors and Architects, find that the visual documentation at specific intervals of time, become an important, valuable, supporting document of the construction progress,in addition to submission with monthly inspection and draw reports.

With today's litigious society, technology, equipment, and cost of construction loans, construction is fast-paced to meet demanding completion deadlines to get a project built and into operation. Many projects are on a fast-track schedule. Plus we cannot exclude the many groups who keep a watchful eye out for something to go wrong as the project progresses.The
VALUE and IMPORTANCE in keeping excellent records of the project activities and progress, which now includes visual data, is an absolute must to protect against any type of claim which can arise before, during or after project completion. Especially in the complexity of a construction project where one process or sub-contractors timely performance is very dependent on another. Our basic 5 view set documenting the project, starts at only $165.00 per month. This is a unit cost of $33.00 which includes flight time.

A few specific uses include: Stored materials documentation, Delivery date confirmations, Verifications of % completion, and use for Project meetings to verify and/or modify specific situations which arise.


The images we provide, create clear, crisp detail that accurately document specific intervals in the construction time line. In many instances, over the years of providing this service, we find time and time again, that contractors and architects use these aerials to solve a dispute about the project, which is causing harm to the project time line, and overall profit from the job. One photo can and has saved thousands of dollars on a project.

,Our basic, local area, aerial, once-a-month, 5-view, 8.5x11 custom color series begins at $165.00, and only $10.50 per additional duplicates required of each view for the owner, architect, engineer, bank, etc.  Labeling, slides and/or digital upgrades on CD ROM are also available starting at $175.00 for the reproduction license, depending on the uses. Out-of-town assignments are accepted as well. Call for a quote.

For us to provide a specific quote, we need the following information to begin:

The progress photos created, fulfill any 01380, 01381, or subsequent custom project specifications.  As a matter of fact, Eagle's Eye Photo Imaging has been the professional photographer of choice in the documentation of every major construction project in Albuquerque and surrounding areas for the last 17 years (a list is available on request).  A few of these projects include the Airport Terminal Reconstruction, Airport Rental car facility, Federal Court House, Alvarado Transporatation Center, Hyatt Tamaya, Social Security Building, General Mills, Albuquerque Plaza, Intel, 500 Marquette, the Montano Bridge, and many State Highway Department projects which now includes the completed "Big I" and many levy projects from the Corp of Engineers. 


All progress photographic work provided is filmed with professional, 6.3 megapixel, digital camera equipment to provide sharp, clear, crisp images to the client, especially when enlargements are required. Digital images are placed on a CD-ROM's. This file size is excellent for making 8.5x11 prints when necessary. In cases where slides are also requested, we utilized a Cannon 35mm camera. Check out our Equipment page for a description of the cameras used to document construction progress.

Eagle's Eye is not a contractor and is not subject to retainage. All necessary business liability insurance is carried and we provide our own safety equipment on site. Once a proposal is signed and accepted, we will require a Purchase Order # for the job, to attach to the monthly invoice. Aerial photography is classified as a service by the New Mexico State Tax & Revenue Dept. Therefore Gross Receipts will be added to each invoice, which are NET 30. The quoted prices do not include shipping, delivery fee's or use fee's of the photographic images which would require the purchase of a Reproduction License.
(See the Fee Schedule for an explanation of the reproduction license)

All final photographic work is produced locally in our own digital photo lab, located at our office, 2521 Madison Ave. NE. This enables us to control cost, quality, confidentiality and turn around time. No photograph of the project will ever be provided to another source by Eagle's Eye, without written authorization from the project manager or Contracting Company

Each construction project is unique in it's own way, and subject to many variables. We do not have early or late completion penalties. We understand situations change during the course of a project and we remain flexible to address any change orders.

Our quote's are based on the specifications provided. Should there be any changes as to frequency, quantity of the images requested or the image product and or use, we will need to be issued a written change order, which will effect the total monthly charges for our photographic services.

When your construction schedule is already hectic, time is in short supply, and timelines are critical, let us take the responsibility for professional, third party documentation of all aspects of your construction project. The photographic images document all construction phases which include::    

Site Drawings
Grade Work
Form Work
Framing
Paving
Site Clearing
Mechanical rough-in
Foundation Pour
Exterior Skin
Landscaping
Excavation
Insulation
Red Steel
Roofing
Project Completion--Interior and Exterior

Additional Benefits: Progress aerials also serve to show contractors, architects, engineers, owners, and investors -- often many thousands of miles away -- how the construction is progressing, and helps them plan for upcoming requirements during the life cycle of the project.  The images also show your equipment at work and guard against consequential damages which harm the completion time line and the final profit of a project.  From a legal standpoint, the photography can also identify reasons why a project might be running behind--they will show snow, flooding, and other situations hindering progress such as subs not preforming on time.

Housing developmentArchitects, engineers, and subcontractors can also utilize the benefits of the photographic documentation for analysis of their work on the project.

The photographs are an excellent tool to study project delivery systems and look for ways to increase your company's productivity. 

Ground photography is used when greater detail is needed to document specific areas of activities during the construction process. In cases where the contractor create their own ground photographic digital images, when can make high quality prints of the digital images. Color enlargements are a great way to display your equipment at work when making your proposals on future bids, displaying images in the conference room, or showing current work at a trade show display.

Call us any time at (505) 888-0246.  We'll be glad to discuss your project and specific needs.  Again, we have a standard monthly or bi-monthly program which includes five 8.5 x 11 color views of each site.  Also, any type of custom programs are also available.

Thank you for reviewing this information and visiting our web site. We look forward to the future opportunity of working on any new construction projects with you.
