Apollo Drone Services provides commercial drone operations throughout Riverside, San Bernardino County, and the greater Inland Empire. We support contractors, consultants, engineers, property owners, solar operators, and commercial teams with construction documentation, thermal imaging, aerial inspections, mapping data capture, and visual project documentation.
Our work is built around repeatable field operations, documented flight procedures, FAA compliance, and deliverables that fit into existing project workflows.
From recurring construction progress flights to solar thermal inspections and large-site aerial documentation, Apollo can support individual projects or ongoing programs throughout Southern California.

Our drone operations are engineered specifically for the demands of commercial construction. We deliver actionable data directly to your project management software.
Construction Documentation
Repeatable progress flights, orthomosaics, overview imagery, milestone documentation, interior/exterior capture where applicable, and organized project records.
Thermal & Asset Inspections
Radiometric thermal capture and detailed visual documentation for solar arrays, roofs, building envelopes, and commercial assets. Findings are documented for review by the appropriate qualified professional.
Commercial Property & Facility Documentation
Roof, façade, site, warehouse, facility, and hard-to-access exterior documentation.
Serving the Riverside and Inland Empire
Apollo Drone Services supports commercial projects throughout Riverside and the Inland Empire with construction documentation, thermal imaging, aerial inspections, mapping data capture, and recurring site documentation.
Our team works with contractors, consultants, engineers, property owners, and enterprise operators that need reliable field support without maintaining an in house drone program. Projects can be supported on a one-time or recurring basis, with standardized capture plans and deliverables built around the needs of the project team.
For Southern California coverage, Apollo coordinates regional field operations through its operator network while maintaining consistent procedures, documentation standards, and project oversight.
Regional Project Support
Apollo Drone Services supports Southern California projects using the same documented operating procedures and quality control standards used across our California operations.
Whether a project involves construction documentation, thermal imaging, aerial inspections, or mapping data capture, our goal is consistent field execution and organized deliverables that can be used by the project team.
Southern California work is coordinated through Apollo’s regional operator coverage, with project planning, capture requirements, and deliverable standards managed consistently across each assignment.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions About Riverside Drone Operations
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
How fast can a drone pilot reach my Riverside job site?
Scheduling depends on project requirements, airspace, site access, weather, and operator availability. Apollo maintains Southern California coverage and can support both scheduled recurring work and shorter-notice assignments when availability allows.
For time-sensitive projects, contact us with the site location, requested scope, and preferred flight date so we can evaluate availability.
Can you operate near Riverside Municipal Airport, March Air Reserve Base, or other controlled airspace?
Yes, when the proposed operation can be conducted under applicable FAA requirements and any required authorization can be obtained.
Apollo reviews airspace before each project and coordinates LAANC or other FAA authorization processes when required. Some locations may have additional restrictions, altitude limitations, processing requirements, or operational constraints that can affect scheduling.
What types of drone services do you provide in Riverside and the Inland Empire?
Apollo supports commercial clients with construction documentation, aerial mapping and data capture, thermal imaging, roof and building documentation, solar inspections, commercial asset inspections, and aerial photography and video.
We also support recurring and multi-site programs for organizations that need consistent drone operations without maintaining their own internal UAS program.
What mapping deliverables can Apollo provide?
Depending on the project, Apollo can provide deliverables such as orthomosaics, point clouds, 3D models, elevation-related datasets, web-based project maps, and organized aerial imagery.
Deliverable formats are selected based on the client’s workflow and project requirements.
Apollo provides aerial data capture and photogrammetric deliverables. We do not provide licensed land surveying services.
Can your drone data be used by engineers, surveyors, or construction teams?
Yes. Apollo regularly captures aerial data intended to support project teams and qualified professionals.
We can coordinate capture requirements, ground control workflows when appropriate, file formats, and project specifications with the client’s engineer, consultant, or licensed land surveyor.
Any professional determination, boundary work, certification, or other service requiring a professional license remains the responsibility of the appropriately licensed professional.
Do you provide construction progress documentation?
Yes. Apollo provides recurring construction documentation using repeatable flight plans and standardized capture procedures.
Depending on the project, documentation may include aerial overview imagery, orthomosaics, progress photos, video, 360-degree documentation, interior documentation, or other project-specific deliverables.
Do you provide thermal inspections?
Yes. Apollo provides radiometric thermal imaging for applications including solar arrays, roofs, building envelopes, and commercial assets.
Thermal imagery documents apparent temperature differences and thermal patterns for further evaluation. Thermal imagery alone does not confirm conditions such as moisture intrusion, electrical failure, or material defects without appropriate supporting investigation.
Why hire Apollo Drone Services?
Apollo is built around commercial field operations rather than one-off drone flights.
We work with contractors, consultants, engineers, property owners, and enterprise operators that need consistent project planning, documented operating procedures, reliable field execution, and organized deliverables.
Our goal is to fit drone operations into the client’s existing workflow rather than create another process they have to manage.
