Mapping & Reality Capture
High-accuracy aerial data collection and processing for construction professionals who need precision deliverables, not just pretty pictures.
Orthomosaic Mapping
We capture hundreds to thousands of overlapping aerial images and process them into a single, georeferenced 2D orthomosaic — a high-accuracy aerial map of your entire site. Every pixel is tied to real-world coordinates, making it directly usable in CAD, GIS, and project management platforms.
Deliverables
- GeoTIFF orthomosaic at up to 1cm/pixel GSD
- Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM)
- Contour lines at user-specified intervals
- Volumetric analysis reports (cut/fill calculations)
- Georeferenced outputs compatible with AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and Civil 3D
3D Digital Twins & Reality Capture
Using photogrammetry and optional LiDAR integration, we reconstruct your site as a photorealistic 3D model with measurable geometry. Digital twins enable remote site inspection, clash detection, and as-built documentation without requiring personnel on-site.
Deliverables
- Photorealistic 3D mesh model (OBJ, FBX, or RCP format)
- Dense point cloud (LAS / LAZ)
- Textured 3D model for Autodesk ReCap and Navisworks
- Fly-through video render of the 3D model
- Measurable geometry for as-built verification
BIM & VDC Integration
Our deliverables are formatted for direct import into BIM and VDC workflows. We coordinate with your VDC team to ensure outputs align with your project's coordinate system, LOD requirements, and software stack — reducing rework and accelerating model-to-field workflows.
Deliverables
- Revit-compatible point cloud import files
- IFC export for cross-platform BIM coordination
- Coordinate system alignment to project datum
- LOD 200–400 as-built documentation support
- Clash detection support data packages
Construction Progress Monitoring
Scheduled aerial captures at defined project milestones give your team a time-stamped, georeferenced record of site progress. Compare current conditions against design intent, track earthwork volumes, and document site conditions for owner reporting and dispute resolution.
Deliverables
- Recurring orthomosaic captures at defined intervals
- Side-by-side progress comparison reports
- Volumetric change analysis between captures
- Annotated progress reports for owner reporting
- Secure cloud delivery with version history
Inspection & Site Documentation
High-resolution aerial imagery for infrastructure inspection, pre-construction site documentation, and post-storm damage assessment. Capture conditions that are difficult, dangerous, or time-consuming to document from the ground.
Deliverables
- High-resolution inspection imagery (up to 20MP per frame)
- Annotated deficiency reports with GPS-tagged locations
- Pre- and post-construction site documentation packages
- Thermal imaging integration (available on select projects)
- Deliverables formatted for insurance and legal documentation
Our Process
From Flight Plan to Final Deliverable.
Every project follows a structured workflow designed to maximize data quality and minimize disruption to your site operations.
Project Scoping & Flight Planning
We review your site, deliverable requirements, and coordinate system. Flight paths are planned to achieve target GSD accuracy with appropriate overlap for photogrammetric processing.
Site Coordination & Airspace Authorization
We handle all pre-flight logistics — LAANC authorization, airspace checks, and site coordination — so the flight day runs without delays.
Aerial Data Capture
Autonomous flight missions capture overlapping imagery at the planned altitude and overlap percentage. All flights comply with FAA Part 107 regulations and site safety requirements.
Photogrammetric Processing
Raw imagery is processed through our photogrammetry pipeline to generate point clouds, meshes, and orthomosaics. Outputs are reviewed for quality before delivery.
Quality Assurance & Delivery
All outputs are reviewed against accuracy thresholds and project specifications before secure cloud delivery — typically within 72 hours of the flight.
