Six hundred and forty plots across four phases, each one at its own stage on its own day. Ground Reality flies the whole development twice a week, reads every plot's stage off the same capture, and names the street that will miss its closing date while there is still a trade movement left to fix it.
Capture · Mission 16
The sheet above is a drawing of this. 10 capture waypoints, and every finding called as the aircraft reaches it — scroll sets the target, the mission keeps its own pace, and the page waits for it.
Sector · Housing
Three and a half acres of beachfront read in one governed pass — the house, the pool rim, the paddock rail, twenty-two metres of jetty — then the unit walks the deck and captures what a listing never shows: the tile lippage, the loose fixing, the board gaps. Sold by viewing, proven by survey.
Plot status comes off a drive-around and a spreadsheet. By the time the sheet reaches the sales office it is four days old and three plots are wrong.
One flight covers the whole development at 1.8 cm detail. Every plot is staged off that single capture — slab, frame, roof, clad, complete — so the phase board is rebuilt from what is standing rather than from what was reported on Monday.
The programme says phase 3 closes in September. It says that because it said so in March, and nobody has re-cut it against the rate the roofs are actually going on.
Lookaheads are built from measured cycle time — 92 days a plot, street by street — so a slipping trade reads as a date, not a colour. The four-week view names the plots that will miss and the movement that saves them.
A buyer walks their home two days before completion and finds eleven things. Every one of them is now a legal date, a contractor callback and a phone call to the sales office.
The pre-completion walk is captured and tagged on the frame: point at it and it lands in the record assigned to a trade with a due date. Twelve seconds a snag — and the plot's whole history is still there when the buyer asks about it in year two.

The program runs on the sales calendar: two flights a week, a walk before every completion, and a stage board rebuilt from capture by 17:30 — 640 plots, and nobody drives the streets with a clipboard.
2×/week, at 07:10, before the first trade arrives
One flight covers the whole development, and every plot is staged off that single capture — slab, frame, roof, clad, complete. The board is rebuilt from what is standing, not from what was reported on Monday.
1.8CM DETAIL · 640 PLOTS · 35MINOn the plots at clad, while the scaffold still stands
The scaffolded elevation is orbited close before the scaffold is struck, so the clad stage carries the facade behind it on the record instead of behind the netting.
ORBIT 24 STATIONS · PLOT 144Plot by plot, two days before the keys
The walk the buyer would do is done first, on capture: point at a snag and it lands in the record assigned to a trade with a due date. The plot's history is still there when the buyer asks in year two.

Each plot is read against its stage and the lookahead is re-cut from measured cycle time — 92 days a plot, street by street — so a slipping trade reads as a date, not a colour.
PLOTS 640 · STAGES 5 · CYCLE 92DAs current as this morning. The whole development is flown in 35 minutes at 1.8 cm detail and the board is rebuilt by 17:30 the same day — the four-day-old spreadsheet with three plots wrong is gone.
FLIGHT 35MIN · BOARD 17:30The one the lookahead names, weeks out. The programme is cut from the measured 92-day cycle street by street, so the four-week view reads the roof rate and moves the crews — Friday's cut put two roofing crews onto Larkspur Street.
CYCLE 92D · SLIP READS AS A DATEShort. Plot 214 was walked before completion and its eleven items were tagged on the frame — twelve seconds a snag, each one assigned to a trade with a due date, closed before the keys instead of after the phone call.
PLOT 214 · 11 ITEMS · TAG 12SYes — 640 plots across four phases, staged off the same flight, on one record. The sales office, the site team and the lookahead all read the same board, cut to their own morning.
PLOTS 640 · PHASES 4 · 1 FLIGHTThe date — and mean it. Closings land on the day they were sold 98% of the time, because the plot that will miss is named at week 34 while there is still a trade movement left to fix it.
CLOSINGS ON DATE 98%Read overnight on a development like this one: two flights, the stage board, every open snag, and the week-34 lookahead. Three of the 27 profiles wake up to it.

SEQUENCE
Phase 3 is on day 61 of 92. The roof rate says Larkspur Street misses its closing unless two crews move — Friday's cut has them there, so hold the plaster gang where it is.
