The orthophoto captured by the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom reveals clear structural outlines for each residential unit and adjacent facilities. Consistent spacing and alignment ensure that the site remains on track with zoning requirements. Additionally, newly paved pedestrian walkways are visible, showcasing progress in community-focused infrastructure.
High Elevation: 487 ft (northern region near storage units)
Low Elevation: 472 ft (southwest corner of the site)
Elevation Variation: 15 ft
These elevations confirm proper grading across the site, critical for drainage and structural stability. The DSM analysis shows no significant deviations, emphasizing the precision of grading work conducted to date.
Ground Sampling Distance (GSD): 1.8 cm/pixel
Horizontal Accuracy (CE90): ±1.101 cm
Vertical Accuracy (LE90): ±6.147 cm
GPS Errors: 3.08 meters
The orthophoto data confirms that all foundations have been completed across the site. Concrete curing appears consistent, and no cracks or abnormalities were detected during the analysis. Approximately 80% of the residential units have reached the framing stage, with roof trusses being installed on units in the southern sector of the project.
Significant progress has been observed in the construction of paved roads and parking areas. Newly laid asphalt near the central zone of the site is now accessible, providing a robust infrastructure for construction logistics and future residential use.
Drone imagery highlights improved site organization, with materials such as lumber and steel stored systematically in designated zones. This improvement reflects an efficient workflow, reducing delays and enabling teams to maintain momentum.
Images Captured: 184 JPG and DNG files for stakeholder review , 8 Cardinal 300'
Videos Captured: 400' orbit videos and one edited 200' Hyperlapse Video.
Orthophoto and DSM: High-resolution orthophoto and DSM available for stakeholders via the 303-Drones client web portal on www.303-drones.net.
Interior Work: Roofing completion and drywall installations are the next focus areas for southern units.
Landscaping: Preparations for front and rear yards are scheduled to begin within two weeks.
Infrastructure Completion: Final paving of roads and pedestrian walkways will round out site-wide accessibility enhancements.
By mid-December 2024, the site is expected to transition into the interior phase of construction, focusing on utilities, plumbing, and electrical installations.
Landscaping efforts will create a more polished and community-friendly environment by early Q2 2025.
