Lakewood Projects

Built for how Lakewood builds

Lakewood covers a lot of ground, from dense mixed use in the center of town to office parks and retail along the western highways.

  • Belmar and the Wadsworth corridor. Mixed use and multifamily on busy streets, where repeatable progress flights and a clean aerial record help with staging, tenants and change orders.
  • West Colfax redevelopment. Infill, renovation and new multifamily along the corridor, documented phase by phase for owners and lenders.
  • Office parks along Union Boulevard and Denver West. Large commercial roofs and glass facades that are well suited to drone roof, facade and thermal inspections.
  • Retail and big box along C-470 and I-70. Wide roofs and parking areas where orthomosaic maps and thermal imaging show condition across the whole property in one visit.
  • 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

How we plan Lakewood flights

Lakewood mixes busy commercial corridors, occupied buildings and sensitive properties. Every flight is checked before we arrive.

Airspace and restricted properties

We check the airspace and any restrictions around government and other sensitive properties for every address, and secure FAA authorization wherever it is required.

Occupied buildings and shoppers

Flights over active retail and office properties are planned around tenants and the public so the work fits Part 107 rules and daily operations.

Highways and busy corridors

Sites along Wadsworth, Colfax, 6th Avenue and C-470 are planned so we never fly over moving traffic.

FAQ

Questions Lakewood clients ask

Are you based in Lakewood?

We are based in Arvada, a short drive north. Lakewood projects are a regular part of our service area.

Can you inspect an occupied office or retail building?

Yes. We plan the flight around tenants and customers and coordinate timing with property management. More on facade and roof inspections.

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 or property manager and handle the rest.
