Southern Drone Data Solutions was founded by the desire to solve a fundamental problem across construction and real estate development: critical decisions were being made with outdated, incomplete information. After successfully building and exiting a 300-person commercial landscape company, John witnessed firsthand how inaccurate site data led to costly mistakes, project delays, and unexpected expenses that could have been easily avoided with the right technology.
With over two decades of experience in commercial services and real estate development, our leadership team understands the challenges you face because we've faced them ourselves. We've stood in the mud trying to reconcile discrepancies between paper plans and actual site conditions. We've navigated the financial implications of discovering that a property wasn't what it appeared to be after contracts were signed. This practical experience shapes everything we do at Southern Drone Data Solutions. We're not a tech company that happened to find applications in construction – we're industry veterans who leveraged technology to solve problems we encountered throughout our careers.
Our company exists to address a critical void in the industry: the gap between what you need to know about your site and what traditional methods can tell you. We've seen firsthand how:

Unlike general drone service providers, our solutions are specifically engineered to address the unique challenges of real estate development, construction, and material production. We combine advanced UAV technology with industry-specific expertise to deliver actionable insights that directly impact your decision-making and profitability.
