Built for the people who build

See the whole job. Every visit. From the same spot.

A job site is hard to explain from the ground. From the air it becomes one picture: the pad, the steel, the laydown yard, the access roads and the neighbors, all in relation to each other.

Arrow Aerial documents construction and commercial property for general contractors, developers, owner's representatives and industrial owners across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Every visit is flown from the same positions and heights, edited before delivery and handed over as a dated set your whole team can use.

  • Recurring schedules: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or by milestone
  • Progress photos, video and orthomosaic maps from one visit
  • Full commercial usage rights on every job
  • You talk to the pilot, from the first call to the last file

Case study

One site, mapped every month for two years

Since the summer of 2024 the new Louisville VA Medical Center site has been flown every month for Walsh Construction. Each flight becomes one measurable orthomosaic of the whole 40-acre project. Drag the handle to go from June 2024 to July 2026.

Why teams choose Arrow Aerial

Documentation that holds up in the owner meeting

The same angles, every visit

Positions, heights and headings are set on the first flight and repeated, so any two months can be compared side by side.

Edited, not just flown

Every photo is color-corrected and straightened, and every video is cut, before it reaches you. Photos up to 48 MP, video up to 5.1K.

Airspace handled

FAA Part 107 licensed and insured. Controlled airspace is checked and authorizations requested before the flight date.

A plan for weather

When wind or rain rules out a visit, I arrange the next safe window and keep you informed.

One pilot, start to finish

The person who quotes the job flies it, edits it and answers the phone. No handoffs, no subcontractors.

Files you can actually use

Download links after each visit, organized by date, with full commercial usage rights for reports, proposals and marketing.

Watch

A year of progress in a few minutes

Monthly drone flights over one Louisville job site, cut into a single film: groundbreaking, structure, enclosure and finish.

Films like this come out of the same visits as the progress photos. The owner gets a record, the contractor gets marketing, and nobody had to schedule a second crew.

Shaun was fast to respond to my inquiry for a project that needed to be shot. His photos and video were fantastic -- and he edited the content for us!
Elena OysterGoogle review
★★★★★
Shaun is the best at what he does. He has helped me with numerous aerial photos and videos of our properties. He is great at editing, too. He's reachable and gets to work quickly, regardless of the circumstance. For example, when River Road flooded, we had a property we wanted to see in order to appraise damage - Shaun worked with me to devise a solution to get a drone close enough the see the imp...

★★★★★
I had Shaun do aerials and ground shots for a Chipotle property out in Louisville. Shaun crushed the photos and got all the angles we were looking for and provided high quality images. To top it all off, he delivered us the final product on the same day he took the photos. To any commercial real estate professionals looking for a photographer in Lousiville area, I highly recommend working with Shaun.
