We can often shoot as soon as the next day if we have availability. Even in controlled airspace, if LAANC authorization is available and we're flying under the posted ceiling, next-day scheduling is possible. For locations that require authorization above the UAS Facility Map grid, add about a week, though we typically get approval within three days. Check the airspace map at the top of our Resources page to see what applies to your location.

Usually not. Most shoots don't require formal site access. The bigger variable on construction sites is crane position and operating schedule. We coordinate around that with you. See our Do I Need Site Access article for a full breakdown by project type.

No. We operate independently and don't need a client rep on location. If you want to be there, you're welcome, but it's not necessary.

Whatever time of day you need. We shoot from morning twilight before sunrise through afternoon twilight after sunset. Nighttime is possible under the right conditions, though we usually recommend twilight for that look. Timing is based on your views, the light hitting specific building faces, or whatever conditions your team needs to match.

We won't fly if the lighting isn't right for your shot or if conditions are unsafe. We monitor weather closely and will reach out early if a reschedule is needed. Most shoots can be pushed without issue and we'll work with your timeline.
