🏗️ CONSTRUCTION SITE MONITORING · BORDEAUX (33) · €250–800 LE PASSAGE
Drone construction site monitoring in Bordeaux
Between riverside roads and tight footprints, construction sites in Bordeaux lack the standback for ground photography: the drone provides the missing height and repeats the exact same view at every pass. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Bordeaux and its department (33) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
The Bordeaux-Mérignac CTR, shared with air base 106, covers the west of the conurbation: urban flights require coordination with both civil and military aviation. Sensitive sites abound — the Dassault plant and Mérignac aerospace zone, the Bacalan submarine base, the Aquitaine bridge — and the UNESCO-listed quaysides fall under the built-up-area scenario. The Gironde metropolis is a complete market: booming real estate around Euratlantique and the Bassins à flot, prestigious wine estates (Médoc, Pessac-Léognan, Saint-Émilion) that are heavy users of vineyard mapping and monitoring, river tourism on the Garonne, and structural inspections from the Chaban-Delmas bridge to the Cité du Vin.

Frequently asked questions
Construction site monitoring in Bordeaux: what budget should you plan?
Allow €250–800 le passage — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Bordeaux, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
How often should a site in Bordeaux be flown?
The standard rhythm is monthly, tightened to fortnightly during structural work. In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, weather guides the scheduling; every flight repeats the same camera axes for rigorous month-on-month comparison.
Can site photos be used in a dispute?
Yes: dated, geolocated images reproduced from the same angles are excellent factual evidence of progress or condition. For maximum evidentiary weight, they can be appended to a bailiff's official report.
