Choosing Between Ground Photos and Aerial Captures for Construction Progress Tracking

Tracking a construction project from start to finish requires a reliable visual record. Without clear images of each building stage, it is hard to confirm that work matches the construction schedule, spot delays, or settle disputes. Two common methods dominate the field: ground-level photos taken by a person on site, and aerial captures from a drone. Each approach has strengths and limitations, and the right choice depends on the project's size, phase, and reporting needs.
