Interactive 3D Model Example:
What You Get from a Drone Mapping Flight
A mapping flight gives you two things. The first is an orthomosaic: a single flat, top-down image of the whole site, stitched together from hundreds of overlapping 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, planning around it, and recording how it looked on a given day. They are not a survey. We do not offer survey-grade deliverables, so if you need certified measurements, earthwork volumes or cut-and-fill figures, a licensed surveyor is who you want.
Who Uses Drone Mapping
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 plan around 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.

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, drones are pretty cool so you’re welcome to come out and watch us work too!

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 map in one visit?
Around 80 to 100 acres is the maximum we cover in a single visit.
