We fly your site and hand you clean, control-tied data — not a folder of raw files. LiDAR for true ground surface, photogrammetry for measurable imagery, delivered straight into your CAD and civil software.
HOW A DRONE SURVEY WORKS
The true ground surface — without the field days.
Two capture methods, one goal: terrain and data you can design and build on.
Drone LiDAR for topography
Dense, accurate bare-earth terrain, captured fast and safely from the air. LiDAR sees through light vegetation to reach true ground surface — ideal for topo surveys, site development, and corridors.
Photogrammetry & orthomosaics
High-resolution, measurable orthomosaics and 3D models alongside the LiDAR — georeferenced basemaps ready for planning, design, and presentation.
Ground control, handled
We set and survey our own ground control points for survey-grade accuracy — or tie directly into your existing control network. Either way it fits your project.
Delivered to your specs
Point clouds, terrain models, contours, and CAD — in your datum, projection, and units, ready to drop in with no rework on your end.
WHAT WE CAPTURE
Set or verify control
We place and survey ground control — or tie into yours — so everything lands on your coordinate system.
Fly the site
LiDAR and imagery captured in a single flight window, safely and without shutting the site down.
Process to your specs
Classified point cloud, terrain models, contours, and CAD — delivered in the formats you requested.
How Our Process Works
WHAT YOU’LL RECIEVE
Deliverables that drop straight into your workflow.
No proprietary lock-in, no reformatting. Tell us what you run; we deliver into it.
Point cloud
Dense LAS / LAZ, raw and registered, on your control.
Classified point cloud
Ground, vegetation, and structures separated.
DEM / DTM
Digital elevation and bare-earth terrain models.
DSM
Digital surface model, including features.
Contours
At your specified interval, ready for design.
DWG / CAD
Drops straight into Civil 3D and AutoCAD.
Orthomosaic
High-resolution, measurable GeoTIFF basemap.
Control & accuracy report
Documentation of control and achieved accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes — LiDAR penetrates light-to-moderate vegetation to capture the true ground surface, which is why it's ideal for wooded and brushy sites where photogrammetry alone can't reach the dirt.
-
Point cloud (LAS/LAZ), classified point cloud, DEM/DTM, DSM, contours, DWG/CAD for Civil 3D and AutoCAD, and orthomosaic GeoTIFFs — all in your datum, projection, and units.
-
Either way. We can place and survey our own ground control points for survey-grade accuracy, or tie directly into your existing control network so it fits your project.
-
Timelines depend on site size and deliverables, but we build to your schedule — and average about a 3-minute response on quote requests to keep your project moving.
-
Yes. Everything is delivered in your datum, projection, and units, ready to drop in with no rework on your end.
