Flight Plan
At GO Logic we are constantly on the hunt for new technology that can improve the function and performance of our buildings. We’re equally keen on developments that will make our practice more efficient. When designer Michael Bailey flew out to Ohio last week to inspect two of our current projects, he used a sophisticated, compact camera drone to get the job done more quickly and thoroughly than would have been otherwise possible.
At our Sheldon Calvary Camp dining hall project, in the town of Conneaut, Michael used the drone to conduct a close-range inspection of the building’s roof and dormers without leaving the ground himself.

The dinner plate-size unit proved useful also on his visit to Bellwether Farm, in Wakeman Township. With a 140-acre site and dozens of buildings under construction, this project is one of our most extensive to date, and far too big to capture with an earth-bound lens. Michael’s aerial shots provide exhaustively detailed views of the 14 camper cabins, the closed-in shell of the large dining hall, the nearly complete worship barn, and the foundations of the retreat-housing units. Even more valuable was the drone’s capability to quickly document the site itself—including earthwork, infrastructure, building relationships, and surrounding geography—in both images and video.

As our institutional and multifamily residential projects continue to grow in size and complexity, we expect to give this tool a lot of use.
