Last week we shared a sneak peek of the ongoing work at the Maynerich Financial project as Midwest Construction wrapped up roof work and began prepping the interior. Today, we’re excited to follow up with a 3D model walkthrough created from that same stage of progress! Using SC Handy Drones’ aerial capture and modeling capabilities, we’re able to document each step of the build with precision, clarity, and a full visual perspective that goes beyond standard photos or videos. This model showcases the exact conditions from last week’s update—preserved in a dynamic, interactive format. Every project has a story, and 3D documentation brings that story to life. 📐✨Stay tuned—more updated footage is on the way as this unique design continues taking shape.

This video highlights my thoughts while viewing the 3D model of the ongoing construction. As winter approaches, the value of having accurate, detailed visual data becomes even clearer. Instead of trekking through snow and cold to check on-site progress, inspections and project reviews can be completed efficiently from your screen — bringing the jobsite right to your eyes. Accurate, safe, and efficient — that’s what SC Handy Drones delivers. If you’re a builder, contractor, or inspector looking to save time and improve accuracy this winter, reach out to SC Handy Drones for a free consultation. Let’s see how aerial data can make your workflow easier and more efficient. ------------ Post to social media

For those that need a refresher on airspace classifications, I have provided the community with an easy to read photo; brought to you in part by the FAA. However, for those that are starting off, with your first drone sitting in front of you... This diagram is a must of knowledge to have, when operating any size UAS (Unmanned Aerial System). Stay below 400' AGL (Above Ground Level). If uncertain, of the airspace that you are in, you can download apps such as: Air Aware B4UFLY FAA Class Airspace Viewer Airspace Maps on the App Store FlySkyHy Soaring App
