StructionSite by DroneDeploy
StructionSite by DroneDeploy is interior ground reality-capture software for construction that maps 360?? photos, video walks, and AI-assisted progress tracking to floor plans for general contractors and owners.
StructionSite launched in 2016 to give field teams a single place to capture structured photo and video documentation tied to drawings. Before the acquisition, StructionSite reported that customers had documented more than one hundred ninety billion US dollars of construction volume and that over five hundred builders relied on the platform (DroneDeploy, 2022).
In October 2022 DroneDeploy announced it would acquire StructionSite to pair aerial drone data with interior walk captures. After the deal closed, StructionSite capabilities moved into DroneDeploy Ground, where existing accounts sign in with the same credentials and access interior levels, drawing overlays, and VideoWalk-style capture paths renamed for the unified product.
Typical workflows include walking a jobsite with a supported 360?? camera, aligning captures to uploaded PDF or CAD plans, and comparing dated walks to monitor drywall, MEP rough-in, or finish quality. Teams use the web viewer for remote coordination while mobile capture apps focus on fast data collection.
Pricing now flows through DroneDeploy packaging rather than a public StructionSite price list. Because capture hardware and enterprise bundles vary, request a construction-sector quote from DroneDeploy and confirm whether you need aerial, ground, or combined entitlements.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Purpose-built for construction interiors rather than generic photo storage
- Pairs naturally with DroneDeploy aerial data for full-site context
- Long track record with large ENR-ranked contractors cited in press releases
- Mobile-first capture keeps supers logging work without heavy training
Cons
- Requires compatible cameras and disciplined capture habits for best alignment
- Standalone StructionSite branding is retired; procurement now runs through DroneDeploy
- Enterprise pricing can exceed lightweight photo apps
- Exterior earthworks may still rely on drone workflows rather than interior capture alone

Frequently asked questions
Did StructionSite shut down?
StructionSite was acquired by DroneDeploy in 2022. Existing users now log into DroneDeploy Ground with the same email or SSO, and interior features appear under the unified DroneDeploy experience rather than a separate StructionSite-only domain.
What camera hardware works with StructionSite workflows today?
DroneDeploy publishes supported 360?? camera guidance for Ground capture, including recommended rigs and lighting tips for dark interiors. Check the current hardware list on DroneDeploy???s site before you purchase equipment.
How does StructionSite relate to DroneDeploy drones?
The acquisition aimed to merge aerial and interior capture. You can manage exterior drone missions and interior walks inside one vendor relationship, though licensing may split aerial versus ground entitlements depending on your contract.
Can owners access StructionSite viewers without paying for full DroneDeploy?
Sharing controls depend on your DroneDeploy subscription tier. Coordinate with your account team to grant owner or inspector access with the right permission model.
Does StructionSite replace a construction management platform?
It focuses on visual documentation and progress evidence. Most teams still pair it with scheduling, cost, and document platforms so metadata such as RFIs stays authoritative in the primary system of record.
Where can I migrate old StructionSite projects?
DroneDeploy???s migration guide explains how StructionSite media maps into DroneDeploy Ground projects, including level creation and drawing uploads. Follow the official migration article for supported import steps.
