The $58 Million Project
14 months of progress compressed into 85 seconds.
The Project
A $58 million construction project that demanded documentation from groundbreaking through closeout. Starting in March 2024 and continuing through August 2026, Wet Dog Drones provided continuous progress monitoring that kept the project timeline visible and accountable.

"85 seconds that shows 14 months of progress. That's the power of consistent documentation."
The Value
Progress documentation isn't just about having pretty videos. It's about accountability, timeline management, and stakeholder communication.
- ✓ Catch delays before they become critical
- ✓ Document weather-related stoppages
- ✓ Verify subcontractor progress claims
- ✓ Provide visual updates to owners and investors
- ✓ Create marketing content for future projects
The Timeline Compression
14 months of bi-weekly flights equals roughly 30 separate data captures. Each capture included hundreds of photos, processed into orthomosaics with survey-grade accuracy. The result: an 85-second time-lapse that shows the entire transformation from empty lot to completed building.
It's one thing to tell stakeholders the project is on track. It's another thing to show them — compressed into a minute and a half that tells the whole story.
