What We Do

Professional UAS Services

Precision aerial data collection for construction, engineering, and land development across the Southeast.

Aerial Mapping

High-resolution orthomosaic mapping

Aerial Mapping

We capture high-resolution aerial imagery and process it into accurate orthomosaic maps for your project site. Whether you need a current site snapshot or ongoing documentation, our mapping deliverables give your team a reliable visual reference for planning, coordination, and progress tracking.

Deliverables: Georeferenced orthomosaic images, KMZ overlays, high-res TIFF exports

Applications: Site planning, progress documentation, stakeholder reporting

Coverage: Small parcels to large multi-acre sites across the Southeast

3D Modeling

Photorealistic 3D site models

3D Modeling

Using photogrammetric processing, we generate detailed 3D models of your site or structure. These models provide a comprehensive spatial understanding of existing conditions, helping engineers, architects, and project managers visualize and communicate complex site data.

Deliverables: Textured 3D mesh models, point clouds, OBJ/LAS exports

Applications: Design visualization, existing conditions documentation, client presentations

Accuracy: Sub-foot spatial resolution with GCP-verified positioning

Photogrammetry

Precision measurement from aerial imagery

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry allows us to extract precise measurements and spatial data from overlapping aerial photographs. The result is a rich dataset that supports volumetric estimation, topographical visualization, and detailed site analysis — all without setting foot on difficult or hazardous terrain.

Deliverables: Point clouds, topographical visualizations, volumetric reports

Applications: Earthwork estimation, site analysis, terrain visualization

Note: All deliverables intended for planning purposes; PLS/PE verification required for regulated use

Construction Progress Tracking

Scheduled aerial documentation of your jobsite

Construction Progress Tracking

Keep your project team, ownership group, and stakeholders aligned with scheduled aerial documentation. We fly your site at defined intervals — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — and deliver consistent, georeferenced imagery that shows exactly where the project stands at every stage.

Schedule: Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly flight intervals

Deliverables: Timestamped orthomosaics, progress photo sets, comparison overlays

Clients: General contractors, owners, project managers, lenders

Custom Projects

Specialized UAS missions built around your requirements

Custom Projects

Not every project fits a standard service package. If you have a unique data collection need, an unusual site, or a specialized deliverable requirement, we'll work with you to design a mission that gets you what you need. From infrastructure inspection support to large-scale corridor mapping, we're equipped to take on non-standard work.

Examples: Corridor mapping, infrastructure documentation, specialized inspections

Process: Scoping call → custom flight plan → tailored deliverables

Contact: Reach out to discuss your specific project requirements
