How it works
Three steps: capture, interpret, deliver.
Latus sits between getting the imagery and showing it to the owner. We handle the flying, the processing, and the interpretation — so your team gets a packet they can forward without prep.
We schedule and fly
You choose weekly or milestone cadence. We handle pilots, airspace, safety coordination, and processing.
- We coordinate with your super on access, active work fronts, and site safety.
- Flights take under an hour on site and stay clear of equipment and crews.
- We handle airspace approvals and weather rescheduling — you don't manage the logistics.
We interpret, not just process
We compare each capture to your latest plan and last week's packet to highlight what actually changed.
- We align the orthomosaic to your plan and zone naming so the map matches how you talk about the site.
- We mark what moved: cut/fill, paving, access shifts, new work, removed material.
- We write the Executive brief in plain jobsite language — not a data dump.
You get a decision-ready packet
By the same time every week, you receive a four-page PDF packet and a link to the technical archive.
- Same day, same time each week — ready for your owner call.
- Four-page PDF: Executive brief, annotated orthomosaic, Change page, curated media page.
- Technical archive link for VDC, engineering, and claims teams who need deeper data.
Use cases
What a weekly packet supports.
Owner updates
A forwardable PDF that shows progress, risk, and access in plain language.
Pay-app substantiation
Standardized views tied to dates and zones that back up your quantities.
Sitework quantity checks
Indicative cut/fill and area views to sanity-check what you're paying for.
Access and coordination visibility
See how access, traffic, and laydown change week to week.
Milestone and risk reviews
A clean visual record at the moments that matter for owners and lenders.
Catch mistakes before they get expensive
A misplaced footing, a grade off by six inches, a utility conflict nobody saw. Catching what's still cheap to fix — before concrete covers it.
