Visual Design & Construction
Drone/Reality Capture
PENTA leverages advanced drone technology and reality capture tools to provide unprecedented visibility and precision across the project lifecycle. From pre-design site analysis to weekly progress documentation, we use high-resolution aerial data to inform logistics, verify field conditions, and enhance safety. This technology allows our teams to see the project from every angle, ensuring that site development and construction proceed with total clarity.
Site Logistics & Environmental Assessment
During the earliest phases of preconstruction, our drone teams conduct comprehensive site logistics assessments and environmental due diligence. We model crane locations, material laydown areas, and construction access routes using real-world data to mitigate impacts on neighbors and local traffic. This reality capture data is essential for validating site development costs before the first shovel hits the ground.
Weekly Progress Documentation
You deserve to see exactly where your project stands at all times. We utilize drones to provide comprehensive weekly progress updates, featuring high-resolution photos and video from multiple angles. This aerial documentation is integrated into our owner portal, giving you 24/7 access to visual proof of milestones and workforce counts, ensuring total transparency between PENTA and your leadership team.
Visual QA/QC & Building Envelope Inspection
Reality capture is a vital component of our quality control program. We use drones to perform systematic inspections of building exteriors and high-reach assemblies that are difficult to access safely. This technology allows us to verify that building envelope assemblies are installed according to specifications and to identify potential issues—such as thermal gaps or moisture infiltration—using infrared and thermographic scans.
Site-Specific Safety Planning
Safety is our core culture, and drones help us identify hazards before they lead to incidents. We use aerial captures to develop project-specific safety plans, identifying site-specific hazards such as excavation risks and public interface concerns. By tracking safety observations and site conditions from the air, we can recognize safe practices and address at-risk behaviors in real-time, keeping our crews and your facility safe.
