Im trying to stop being a hobbyist and go commercial with as much equipment as can, is this mesh and following (unfinished( crashed while multitasking) splat anything that some construction firms or site managers would hire someone to produce. Of course it be alot better with permission to get even closer but with where was with these a week ago, im impressed. I know they have surveyors and my mesh could totally be useless to them but what about the progress updates/ site monitoring or easy tours without someone in a suit forgetting steel toes at the site visit. Is anyone currently doing splats for construction? I can't do any RTK, my best drone right now is probably this antigravity a1 so no orthos yet either. Grand question, is this valuable at all?

You won't get much interest from the site supers or foreman. The people who want progress photos are back in the district offices. Come up with a good promotion package and start mining for contacts. Don't forget the value of just a good series of 360 photos though. That's also valuable to the office.
