Drone Services

Through the use of the drone, we can assist clients with a whole new perspective on your project ranging from simple aerial photos and videos (for presentation or marketing purposes) to georeferenced orthophotos and detailed point clouds (suitable for site surveys, volume calculations, construction inspection/monitoring, etc.).

Uses

  • Volume Survey
  • Track ongoing construction progress
  • Assess large building conditions
  • High resolution aerial photos
  • Topographic surveys and mapping for increased data capture and the inclusion of an up-to-date, high resolution aerial image
  • Aerial monitoring using high resolution photos and videos

Is This Right for Your Project?

Certain criteria need to be considered:

  • Airspace Classification
  • Density of site vegetation
  • Weather conditions (light breeze is ok; hurricane is not ok)
