Drone Construction Photography & Mapping
FAA-compliant safely executed drone operations across NJ/NY/PA
What We Deliver
- Progress photo sets: nadir + oblique perspectives
- Orthomosaic maps (GeoTiff/WEB) and high-res JPG overviews
- 2D/3D point clouds, DSM/DTM, contours (where applicable)
- Roof facade, and site safety documentation
- Shareable web viewer links + downloadable assets
Packages & Pricing
Pricing assumes standard airspace and VLOS operations. Complex airspace, extended footprints, and special safety requirements may adjust scope.

How It Works
1) Scope & Safety
We review airspace, NOTAMs/TFRs, site hazards, and create a flight plan + comms.
2) Flight
Grid and orbit missions as needed; VLOS observers on complex sites.
3) Process
Photogrammetry pipeline align – dense cloud – ortho/DSM/contours.
4) Deliver
Web viewer, download hub, and GIS/CAD-friendly files.
Turnaround: next business day for photo sets; mapping deliverables typically 1-2 days depending on acreage.
Deliverable
- Orthomosaic GeoTiff (EPSG:4326/3857) + web tile set
- DSM/DTM (GeoTIFF), contours (DXF/SHP)
- Photo set (JPG) with map-indexed locations (KMZ)
- Share kit: overview JPG + link bundle
Technical Specs
- Capture: multi-battery grid flights with 70-80% overlap
- GSD: project-dependent; typical 1-4 cm/px at legal altitudes
- Accuracy: RTK/GCP workflows available (with client-provided control)
- Exports: GeoTIFF, JPG, KMZ, DXF/SHP, LAS/LAZ
- Hosting web viewer links included; offline tiles optional
Compliance
- FAA Part 107 operations; LAANC airspace authorizations as needed
- Written site safety plan + radio/phone comms
- Remote ID compliant aircraft; NOTAM/TFR checks
- COI available; additional insured certificates on request
- Weather & sun-angle scheduling for consistent results
FAQs
Yes – subject to LAANC/FAA approvals and any altitude/time constraints, Some zones require advance coordination.
Great for visual/RFI coordination. For survey-grade needs, we can incorporate RTK/GCPs and coordinate with your surveyor
Yes- stockpile and cut/fill volumes available on eligible sites with proper overlap and surface visibility
Yes-Part 107 certified; insurance certificates available. Observers added for complex operations.
Sustained rain, high winds beyond aircraft limits, poor visibility, or unsafe TAF/NOTAM conditions. We’ll reschedule promptly.
