Pharos Data · Construction progress
Progress counted, not estimated.
Piles, structures and panels counted against what the programme said you would have by now. The same flight lines on a schedule, and every finding with a position and a date.
The problem
Site reports tell you what someone thinks happened.
On a large site, progress is reported by walking it and estimating. Disputes over what was installed and when come down to whose record you trust. Booking a survey each time you need a number means you only look when something is already wrong.
- Progress estimated instead of counted
- Disputes with contractors over what was built and when
- Surveys booked only after a problem shows up
- No consistent record from one month to the next
What we offer
What the station does for you.
The same flight lines on a schedule, so every pass compares with the last.
Piles, structures and panels counted against where the programme says you should be.
What was built, checked against the drawings, with a position and a date on every finding.
The same station flies the Matrice 4D, with a mechanical shutter and RTK, for survey-grade work.
What we count
The numbers your programme needs.
Every count comes with a date and a position, from the same flight lines as the last one.
Cut and fill, platforms and stockpiles, compared with the last flight.
Piles and bases counted and positioned against the drawings.
Structures, trackers and panels counted block by block on solar builds.
Laydown, access roads and drainage checked, so a problem shows before it slows the work.
How we do it
How it works on your ground.
- 01A station on site for the buildIt stays through the project and flies whenever you need a number.
- 02The same flight lines every timeSo a change in the count is a change on the ground, not in the method.
- 03Processed the same way every timeEvery capture goes through the same pipeline, so reports stack into a dated record.
- 04Night watch includedThe same station can patrol the site at night, where plant and cable theft hit construction hardest.

Our own software, working for you.
The aircraft and station are DJI hardware. What makes them one service is software we wrote ourselves. Here is what it does for you on this kind of site.
Our media pipeline checks, sorts and processes every capture as it comes off the aircraft. Each report is built with the same method as the last one, so month on month the numbers compare.
Our evidence chain seals every clip and every flight log the moment it is captured, with the pilot, station, time and position attached. If anything were changed afterwards, it would show.
Our own software sits between the DJI hardware and everything above it. The station, your alarms, the pilots and the reports run as one system, and it is ours to maintain.
What you get
What lands with you.
- A progress report against your programme
- Counts of piles, structures and panels
- Findings checked against drawings, each with a position and date
- A dated archive of the whole build
Questions
Construction progress, answered.
How often do you fly?
On the schedule you set, weekly or monthly, and whenever you need a number in between.
Is it accurate enough for survey work?
When the job needs survey accuracy, the station flies the Matrice 4D with a mechanical shutter and RTK.
Can it help in a contractor dispute?
Every capture is sealed with its time and position, so the record of what was built and when is hard to argue with.
Can it also secure the site?
Yes. The same station patrols the site at night.
