Commercial drone work that holds up on the job site
We fly roof and infrastructure inspections, LiDAR and orthomosaic mapping, construction documentation, drone photography, and aerial video. Every job is run by an FAA certified, fully insured pilot based in downtown Orlando, and you walk away with files your team can actually put to work.
Built on 25 years in hospitality, not just aviation
Drew Tanski spent 25 years in Orlando hospitality and property management before he became a certified UAV pilot and started Leading Edge Drones. That history still shows up in how we work. We treat your project like a client account, not a flight log. We arrive ready, keep you in the loop, and hand back files you can use.
The work itself is commercial grade: roof and infrastructure inspections, LiDAR and orthomosaic mapping, construction documentation, and drone photography and video. An FAA Part 107 certified, insured pilot runs every flight, and we sort out the airspace authorizations so you never have to.
Our office sits downtown at 100 E Pine Street. We cover Central Florida and the rest of the state, and the work ranges from a single Orlando roof one week to a multi-site construction portfolio the next.
Five core commercial drone services
We match every service to the right sensors, flight plan, and deliverable, so you get data built for your workflow instead of generic footage.
Construction Progress & Civil Site Documentation
Recurring aerial capture that keeps owners, GCs, and stakeholders aligned from groundbreaking to closeout.
- Monthly progress tracking & reporting
- Civil site documentation
- Milestone & time-lapse records
Infrastructure, Asset & Roof Inspections
Inspect hard-to-reach assets from the air, with no scaffolding, lifts, or shutdowns. We pair 4K imagery with AI-assisted detection to flag cracks, leaks, and structural problems a ground walkthrough tends to miss.

- Precise roof measurements, no climbing
- Telecom, utility & energy inspection support

Schedule a ConsultationFrom job sites to brand campaigns, almost any organization
Inspections and mapping serve a specific set of trades. Aerial brand media reaches much further, since almost any business or organization can use it. The list below covers both sides of the work.
Recent projects, by category
A growing library of real projects across inspections, mapping, construction tracking, and aerial media, so you can see what we deliver before you ever call.
From quote to deliverable in four steps
Tell us the goal
Share your site, scope, and the question you need answered. We respond within one business day with a recommendation and a quote.
We plan the flight
We handle the airspace authorizations, permissions, and flight planning for you, fully insured and Part 107 compliant.
Capture on site
A certified pilot flies the mission with the right sensor for your deliverable, working around your operations.
Process & deliver
You receive clean, usable outputs such as reports, maps, point clouds, or finished media, in the formats your team already uses.
You’ll deal with the owner, not a call center
Drew sits down with you one-on-one before a flight is ever booked. Most projects do not fit neatly into a package, so we would rather talk through what you need to capture and scope it honestly than sell you a template.
From there it stays simple. Certified, insured pilots. Airspace authorizations handled on our end. Deliverables sent back in the formats your team already uses, whether that is an inspection report, a point cloud, a measurable orthomosaic, or finished media.
A few reasons clients keep calling us back
Subject-matter-expert pilots
The person flying your job knows the industry it serves, whether that is roofing, construction, telecom, or hospitality. You are not getting a generalist who happens to own a drone.
Certified & fully insured
Every flight is FAA Part 107 certified and backed by commercial liability insurance. We carry the authorizations so your site stays compliant.
Built for commercial use
Reports, point clouds, measurable maps, and finished media. Everything is scoped for how your team actually works and returned in the formats you already use.
A real conversation first
We start with a one-on-one consultation, not an online order form. If a project does not fit a standard package, we will say so and scope it properly.
Florida-based, with national deployment for the right project
Orlando and Central Florida are our home base, and that is where we go deepest. From there we cover the strongest commercial markets across the state, including Tampa and Clearwater, Sarasota and Bradenton, Naples and Fort Myers, Miami and Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Jacksonville. Being local matters: we know the airspace, the permitting, and the conditions that affect a flight here.
For larger work, we are a Florida-based commercial drone company with national deployment available for select LiDAR, mapping, construction documentation, inspection, specialty documentation, and aerial media projects. We do not chase small jobs out of state, but when the scope justifies mobilizing, we travel.
