Arvada Projects

Built for how Arvada is growing

Arvada stretches from Olde Town to the foothills, and the work changes a lot from one end to the other.

  • Candelas, Leyden Rock and the northwest growth corridor. New residential and commercial phases where repeatable progress flights and earthwork volumetrics keep owners, builders and lenders on the same page.
  • Olde Town and the G Line station area. Mixed use and infill on tight lots, where a clean aerial record helps with staging, neighbors and change orders.
  • Wadsworth, Kipling and Ralston Road commercial. Retail centers and office buildings with large flat roofs that are well suited to drone roof and thermal inspections.
  • Industrial and flex space near I-70 and Ward Road. Yards, stockpiles and big roofs where orthomosaic maps and volumetrics beat walking the site with a tape.
  • Hail season. Front Range storms are hard on commercial roofs. Post storm flights document condition quickly without putting anyone on a damaged roof.

Flight Planning

Close to home, still carefully planned

Being local means fast scheduling and site visits. It does not mean skipping the planning.

Airspace authorization

Parts of north and northwest Arvada sit near Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport’s controlled airspace. Those flights are authorized with the FAA before we arrive.

Foothills wind

West Arvada sits right against the foothills, where afternoon wind can pick up fast. We schedule flights for the calmest window so the data comes back clean.

People, roads and active crews

Flight paths are planned around sidewalks, traffic and crews on site so the work stays inside Part 107 rules and your site safety plan.

Can you fly near Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport?

Yes, with FAA authorization. We check the airspace for every address and secure approval before the flight date.

How accurate is your mapping data?

We provide sub-centimeter level work ready for engineering review, and recent projects have averaged 0.271 cm per pixel. More on mapping and 3D modeling.

How are recurring progress flights scheduled?

Weekly, biweekly or monthly, matched to your project milestones. Each visit follows the same flight plan so every set of images lines up with the last.

Do we need to be on site during the flight?

Usually not. We coordinate access and a quick safety check with your superintendent and handle the rest.
