How It Works
Schedule
Book your flight window. We coordinate timing around weather and your project schedule.
Capture
We fly your site with RTK-enabled equipment and place ground control points (GCPs) and checkpoints to verify accuracy.
Process
Our software processes the data into elevation models, slope maps, and analysis outputs.
Deliver
Receive comprehensive PDF reports plus source data files you can use in your software.
We Work With Your Surveyor
Our aerial data collection pairs seamlessly with licensed professionals. We handle the flight and processing — your surveyor or engineer certifies the results when needed.
When You Don't Need a Surveyor
Many projects use our data as-is for:
- Internal stockpile and inventory tracking
- Progress monitoring and documentation
- Operational planning and site visualization
- Preliminary earthwork estimates for bidding
When to Involve a Licensed Professional
Some applications require PLS or PE oversight:
- Official government or regulatory submittals
- Certified volume reports for contracts
- Construction design documents
- Anything involving property boundaries
How the Partnership Works
We make it simple:
- We fly your site and process the raw data
- Source files delivered in GeoTIFF, DXF, CSV, and GeoPackage
- Your surveyor reviews and certifies as needed
- Saves your surveyor days of field work
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a land survey?
No. Our aerial mapping services are not land surveys and do not establish, locate, or retrace property boundaries. We provide terrain data, volume estimates, and site visualizations for planning and operational purposes. For boundary determinations or certified data, we recommend working with a licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS).
Do I need a licensed surveyor?
It depends on how the data will be used. For internal planning, progress tracking, and operational estimates, our aerial data stands on its own. For official submittals, certified volumes, or anything involving property boundaries, the data should be reviewed and stamped by a licensed PLS or Professional Engineer (PE). We deliver source files in standard formats so your surveyor can pick up right where we leave off.
What size sites can you map?
We can map sites from a few acres to several hundred acres. Larger sites may require multiple flights or days. Contact us with your site details for a custom quote.
How accurate is the data?
Using RTK/PPK processing with ground control points (GCPs) and checkpoints, we typically achieve 1-3 cm data resolution. Results vary based on conditions, terrain, and site complexity. For projects requiring certified accuracy, we can coordinate with your licensed surveyor to verify and stamp the final deliverables.
What file formats do you deliver?
You receive comprehensive PDF reports for easy sharing, plus source data in industry-standard formats including GeoTIFF, DXF, CSV, and GeoPackage files compatible with CAD and GIS software.
How long until I receive my data?
Standard turnaround is within the same week of flight. Rush processing is available for time-sensitive projects. Large or complex sites may require additional processing time.
Do you fly in bad weather?
We need clear conditions for optimal data quality — no rain, snow, or high winds. If weather prevents flying on your scheduled date, we reschedule at the next available opportunity at no extra cost.
Can you provide recurring flights?
Yes! Many clients schedule monthly or quarterly flights to track progress, monitor stockpile changes, or document site evolution. We offer volume discounts for recurring service agreements.
