What We Deliver

Engineering-Grade Output.

Each flight is captured with controlled overlap and ground control points where required, then processed in industry-standard photogrammetry software.

3D Point Clouds

Dense LAS/LAZ point clouds delivered for use in CAD, GIS, and engineering workflows. Compatible with Autodesk Recap, Civil 3D, and Bentley.

Orthomosaic Maps

Geo-referenced high-resolution aerial maps with 1-3 cm ground sample distance, exported as GeoTIFF or PDF.

Stockpile Volumes

Cubic-yard calculations for aggregate, mulch, fill, and reclamation piles. ±2% accuracy with check measurements documented.

Topographic Surveys

Contour lines, slope analysis, and elevation rasters for site planning, drainage studies, and grading verification.

Volume Difference Reports

Quarterly comparison reports showing material added or removed between flights — ideal for monthly reconciliation.

Delivery Reports

Branded PDF reports with executive summary, methodology, accuracy statement, and dated signature for engineering record.

Quarry & Aggregate Sites

Volume & Area Calculations.

Stockpile reconciliation against truck tickets is a ledger-level exercise — and aerial photogrammetry, done right, produces volume figures that hold up in audits, inventory reports, and tonnage reconciliations. Using DJI drones paired with the D-RTK 3 Multifunction Station for centimeter-level GPS positioning, we capture survey-grade data and process it into 3D photogrammetric models accurate to ±2% on standard stockpiles, with documented methodology on every delivery.

Each project becomes a custom-built, browser-accessible 3D model — not a generic template. Clients explore their data directly: cubic-yard volumes for aggregate, mulch, fill, and reclamation piles, elevation profiles, and stakeholder-ready site presentations — all from a single project link.

Buildings & Commercial Sites

Distance, Area, Height & Angle Calculations.

For buildings, parking lots, and developed sites, photogrammetry unlocks geometry you can’t easily measure from the ground. Captured with DJI drones running the D-RTK 3 Multifunction Station for survey-grade positioning and high-resolution imaging, every project becomes a 3D model supporting precise distance, area, height, and angle measurements across residential, commercial, and multi-unit properties. Common applications include roof inspections, walkway and pavement analysis, parking layouts, building footprints, sports court measurements, and clearance studies between structures.

Each project is delivered as a custom-built, browser-accessible 3D model — not a generic template. Useful for portfolio management, maintenance planning, construction estimates, insurance documentation, civil engineering, due diligence, and dispute resolution — all with the same ±2% accuracy and engineering-grade methodology, shareable through a single link.

Viewer Guide

How to Navigate the 3D Model

Each pointcloud opens in an interactive viewer. Here’s how to move around and take measurements once it’s open.

Rotate

Left-click + hold, then drag to rotate the model in 3D.

Pan

Right-click + hold, then drag to slide the model across the viewport.

Zoom

Scroll with your mouse wheel to zoom in or out at any time.

Tooltips

Hover over any label in the viewer to see additional information about that feature.

Measurements

Open the Measurement tab in the sidebar, hover to identify tools, click to select. Left-click to start and continue a measurement, right-click to finish or close a polygon.

Process

How We Work

Site Walk

Either remote (you send a parcel map) or on-site for larger projects. We confirm scope, accuracy targets, and access.

Flight Plan

Automated mission with controlled overlap (typically 75% front, 70% side) at altitude tuned for your accuracy spec.

Processing

Cloud photogrammetry pipeline produces the orthomosaic, point cloud, and surface model. QC pass before delivery.

Reporting

Branded PDF report plus raw GeoTIFF/LAS files delivered via secure download link. Q&A call included.

FAQ

Common Questions

How accurate are the volume calculations?

Typically ±2% versus ground-truth survey on a stockpile of 10,000+ cubic yards. Smaller piles or steep angles of repose can vary slightly more. We document accuracy on every report.

Do I need ground control points?

For most stockpile and site mapping, no — drone GPS is sufficient. For survey-grade work (topographic baseline, civil engineering), we'll establish GCPs and document the resulting accuracy.

What software outputs do you deliver?

Standard exports include GeoTIFF (orthomosaic), LAS/LAZ (point cloud), and DEM/DSM rasters. Custom CAD or GIS exports available on request.

Can you fly active sites?

Yes. We coordinate with site management to time flights around equipment movement, and notify on-site personnel before flying. Full insurance and Part 107 certification.

How often should we map a site?

Quarterly is typical for inventory reconciliation. Monthly for high-throughput aggregate yards. Construction sites often go weekly for the first few months, then monthly.
