What Charleston sites need from an aerial record.
Flat, wet ground
Low grades and a high water table leave little room for error. A surface model shows where water will sit before the next trade builds over it.
Stormwater enforcement
In Charleston County, a stormwater deficiency has 3 working days to be fixed after a notice before stop-work orders and $1,000 per day per deficiency (Charleston County Stormwater Program). Weekly flights show breaches early.
Storm season
A flight before a named storm and another after it give owners, lenders, and insurers a dated comparison of site conditions.
Carolina Park, Mount Pleasant.
A recurring documentation program on a 9.45-acre car dealership development: twelve dated flights from March to July 2026, each one mapped at 1.7 cm per pixel and aligned to the last.
