I have been working on this new methodology with my partners S&F Land Services. 139th Street is a roadway project S&F […]

With affordable drones such as the GoPro Karma, and DJI Mavic and Spark becoming accessible to people of all educational backgrounds it makes sense that there is sometimes confusion about what […]
Today the site logo was completed. I haven’t got the exact finished version yet but it will look nearly identical to this. Very creative design by the OctaLogo group of designers!
