Interactive 3D Model Example:
What You Get from a 3D Imaging Shoot
A 3D imaging shoot gives you two things. The first is a top-down overview image of the whole site, stitched together from hundreds of overlapping aerial photos. The second is a 3D model you can rotate and view from any angle.
Both are visual products, and that is the honest description of them. They are the right tool for showing a site, presenting it to stakeholders, and recording how it looked on a given day. They are not a survey, so if you need certified measurements, a licensed surveyor is who you want.
Who Uses 3D Imaging
Construction and development teams use it to show an entire site in one image, which no ground-level photo can do. Real estate developers use it to convey a parcel’s shape, access and surroundings in a way a flat site plan never manages. Landscaping and civil contractors use it to see and share a site before work starts, and to document how it looked when they arrived.
If your site changes over time, repeat flights build a visual record of each stage that stays useful long after the job closes out.
Turnaround and Airspace
Turnaround is quick, and we will give you a firm date when we quote, once we know the size of the site. Weather affects when we can fly, and so does FAA airspace approval. Anything within about a mile of a major airport needs longer for authorization, so send the address early and we will start that process straight away.

FAQ's
Explore answers to frequently asked questions about our 3D imaging services.
How can 3D imaging benefit my business?
A 3D model lets clients, investors and stakeholders explore a property or job site from any angle, right in their browser. It is a powerful way to market a space, present a project or show how a site looked on a given day, without everyone having to visit in person.
What happens if weather affects our scheduled shoot?
We monitor the weather closely, especially for aerial work. If weather is going to affect our scheduled shoot we work with our clients to reschedule to a suitable time.
Do you need special permits or authorization to fly at my location?
During the pre-flight planning process we take care of all the research and leg work to get approval for the airspace at your location. Some locations will require FAA approval and can affect the scheduling of your flight. *Note* FAA approval is never a guarantee.
Do I need to be on location for the scheduled shoot?
Up to you! We make sure to ask the right questions before hand so that you can know we will get the coverage you’re looking for, without having to step foot on-site. That said, you’re always welcome to come out and watch us work!
What file formats do I get, and can my team open them?
We can deliver in a wide range of formats. You can view the results in a browser without installing anything, or download the files and open them in your own software.
How big a site can you capture in one visit?
Around 80 to 100 acres is the maximum we cover in a single visit.
