Drone construction site monitoring in Bourges
Around Bourges, construction spreads wide: business parks, housing estates, public facilities. From the air the whole footprint fits in one image — earthworks, cranes, stockpiles and roads — for fact-based project steering. In Bourges as across the department (18), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
This defence-aerospace fabric is also an opportunity: Bourges hosts a fast-growing drone and testing ecosystem, industrial subcontractors and the Printemps de Bourges festival every April. Common missions: construction monitoring, thermography, heritage and real-estate promotion, agricultural imaging in the surrounding Champagne berrichonne. Prefecture of the Cher at the heart of Berry, Bourges — European Capital of Culture 2028 — is built around the UNESCO-listed Saint-Étienne cathedral, the Jacques-Cœur palace and 135 hectares of listed market-garden marshes right in the urban fabric.

Airspace and formalities in Bourges
For a site inside the restricted perimeter (Sites de défense interdits de survol (MBDA, KNDS, polygone d'essais)), overflight authorisation is requested once for the project's duration: the regular monitoring passes are then covered — we structure the request that way.
Site monitoring is flown within the works footprint, open category on land closed to the public; in urban areas a specific-category declaration covers the project's duration and its repeated passes. Full regulations and rates: construction site monitoring across France →
