The brief

Drone photography and video for construction.

Onsite Media flies for the New Zealand construction industry: builders, civil contractors, developers and project managers who need to see and show their sites from the air. In four years across hundreds of sites we have built the experience to fly construction zones safely and get the shot first time.

Aerial imagery does something no ground level photo can. It shows the full footprint of a build, tracks progress across a programme, reveals how a project sits in its landscape, and gives clients and stakeholders a clear, honest view of scale and complexity. It is documentation and marketing in a single flight.

We fly to New Zealand civil aviation rules and are SiteWise Green approved, so every flight is planned, compliant and site safe. From a single hero photo to ongoing monthly progress maps, we deliver aerial content that informs your team and impresses your clients.

03

Why it matters

Why every site benefits from the air.

Scale

Only an aerial view shows the true footprint, layout and progress of a construction project.

Safe

We capture roofs and high structures from the air, no scaffold, no harness, no risk to your crew.

Record

Repeatable flights build a dated, top down record that is gold for disputes, claims and client updates.
