“Nearmap gives us high-resolution imagery 2-3 times a year, it decreases our costs, and reduces our effort to get [drone survey] approvals. It increases our efficiency, which is what we're about here at Walbridge.”

Walbridge – a Detroit-based construction company – needed to enhance how they track and monitor design and build across a wide-reaching portfolio of properties. The latest aerial data was a must have for Walbridge as they worked to accelerate their approach to projects, including multi-stage construction projects for General Motors.

Business Impact
Maximising Project Resources
Valuable resources which were previously dedicated to the planning of flyovers could now be leveraged in other areas of the business. With on-demand access to both historical and current imagery, key stakeholders can easily gain insight into the most up-to-date truth across the project lifecycle.
