Construction Intelligence
A time-stamped record of every week on site.
The Vortex documents your construction site from above on a regular schedule, so you can show progress, support your draws, and settle disputes with a date-stamped record instead of a memory. Owners see momentum. Lawyers see evidence.
The problem
Construction disputes and draw questions come down to one thing: can you prove what was true on a given date. Ground photos are partial and easy to argue with. Memory is worthless in a dispute. And owners want to see progress without flying in.
Without a consistent overhead record, you are defending your timeline and your payments with anecdotes.
One dated overhead of the whole site. When the question is what was true on a given date, the record answers it.
How it works
- Regular capture. We fly your site on a set cadence, weekly or biweekly, from the same vantage points.
- Progress read. Each visit becomes a progress record: zone-by-zone percent complete, milestone markers, and a clear overhead of the whole site.
- Archive. Every capture is dated and stored, building a time-series record you can pull for draws, owner updates, and disputes.
The intelligence layer
Every capture becomes a measured model of the site. Structure, floors, and change are tracked as data points, so a flagged zone points to a date and a place instead of an argument.
What it covers
- Progress monitoring on a set cadence
- Time-stamped documentation of the whole site
- Draw support with dated evidence
- Dispute defense built on an objective record
- Roof and asset inspection pathways where you need them
- Recurring monitoring for the life of the project
What you get
- Per-visit progress documentation
- Zone progress percentages and milestone markers
- A time-series archive built for draws and dispute defense
- Owner-ready overhead updates you can send without a site visit
A sample of what you walk away with
- A GC defends a contested draw with a dated overhead showing the work was in place, and gets paid without escalation.
- A developer sends investors a monthly overhead update and stops fielding "how is it going" calls.
- A dispute over who caused a delay gets settled by the time-stamped record in an afternoon.
Infrastructure and asset inspection
The same overhead record works for bridges, structures, routes, and public assets. We document condition zone by zone, flag anomalies, and compile a maintenance-planning report, safely and on a schedule, without closing a lane or putting an inspector in a hard place. Public-asset work may require a certificate of insurance and additional credentialing, which we confirm before quoting.
Common questions
How is this different from a site webcam? A webcam gives you one fixed angle. We give you the whole site from above, measured and milestone-marked, on a record built to hold up in a dispute.
Can the owner access the updates directly? Yes. We can deliver owner-ready updates you forward, or set up direct access.
How do we start? Start a site record now and have the evidence before you need it. We will recommend a cadence for your project.
