Using Drones for Lender Draw and Owner Reporting
How date-stamped aerial records support draw requests, milestone sign-off and remote oversight.
Why lenders and owners use drones
Regular aerial capture gives lenders, owners and investors an independent, date-stamped view of progress across the whole site, reducing the need for frequent site visits and helping verify work claimed in draw requests.
What a good report includes
Consistent viewpoints from visit to visit, an orthomosaic or site overview, annotated progress against the schedule or budget lines, and clear capture dates. Some providers pair aerial data with ground photos of interiors.
Setting it up
Align capture dates with the draw cycle, agree the report format with the lender or draw inspector in advance, and confirm who owns and can access the data.
