Drone Video of a Custom Home Build in Pebble Beach
Construction progress photography for returning client Waveform Electric
Back in Pebble Beach again for Waveform Electric, this time with the drone to capture an in-progress custom home along a golf course. I recorded 4K video and made aerial photographs that show the house from above, the surrounding neighborhood, and the Pacific Ocean in the distance.
Returning to Another Project With Waveform Electric
I have done a number of photo and drone projects for Ryan of Waveform Electric and one of the best things about them is that no two so far have ever been the same! Last time was finding a way to get drone video of batteries installed in a garage while also showing the house was on a cliff in Carmel Highlands. This time, less challenging flying logistics as the construction job site in progress home build in Pebble Beach actually allowed me to stand right out on what will eventually be the second floor deck and fly from there with clear views of the drone the entire time as I got drone video of the job site itself as well as the stunning surroundings which included a golf course, 17-Mile Drive, and the Pacific Ocean. Having this much visual interest both close by, and in the distance, really makes it enjoyable to create shots that go right from the deck itself out over the course then on toward the water. That last shot was requested by Ryan himself, which was a great clip to end the video on. Thank you Ryan for continuing to choose me as your drone pilot and photographer!

Show More of Your Construction Project From Above
Professional drone video and aerial photography can reveal the progress, scale, and surrounding setting of a construction project in ways ground-level photos cannot. From one-time visits to ongoing construction documentation, I can help your company create useful visual content throughout the building process.
Aerial Construction Progress Photography in Pebble Beach
Drone photos showing the home, rooflines, nearby golf course, and Pacific Ocean setting
These aerial photographs offer different perspectives of the same construction project. The closer views show the home's developing rooflines and exterior work, while the wider views reveal its location beside the golf course, surrounding homes, and the Pacific Ocean in the distance.
Something I particularly like about drone photography for construction is being able to show the property from angles that would otherwise be impossible to capture. Aerial photos give a much better sense of how a building's design, construction progress, and surrounding property all fit together.
For custom home construction in Pebble Beach, these wider perspectives can help communicate the scale and design of a project while also showing the unique location. They can also become useful comparison photos when the house is completed.
More Value From Construction Drone Video and Photography
Why professional progress documentation matters before a project is finished
For builders, general contractors, electricians, and other specialty trades, documenting a construction project while work is still underway can provide useful content long before the finished home is ready to photograph.
The combination of professional drone video and high-resolution aerial photography creates several opportunities:
Construction progress updates: Show how a project is developing at different stages, including roof work, exterior construction, landscaping, and major installations.
Website and social media marketing: Share current projects with prospective customers instead of waiting for everything to be completed.
Project portfolios and proposals: Demonstrate the types of homes and locations your company works on, as well as the scale of your projects.
Before-and-after comparisons: Build a visual record that can be compared with future visits and the finished property.
For larger projects, monthly or milestone-based visits can be especially useful. Returning to the same site and capturing similar viewpoints over time creates a consistent record of progress that can eventually be turned into a completed construction story.
For specialty contractors like Waveform Electric, professional photography and video also provide an opportunity to show the kinds of residential projects they contribute to, even when their actual work may be behind walls or otherwise not visible in a traditional exterior photograph.
