How accurate is drone mapping?

Typical accuracy for builder/developer site data sits in the 2–5 cm range when ground control is used. We position our work as detailed site data — not a substitute for a registered cadastral survey.

Can you measure volumes and elevations?

Yes — stockpile volumes, cut-and-fill estimates and elevation models are standard deliverables for site, civil and earthworks projects.

What deliverables do I get?

Orthomosaic map (GeoTIFF), 3D model, elevation data, key measurements and a shareable web viewer link — plus the original imagery.

Frequently asked questions

An orthomosaic is a high-resolution, geometrically corrected aerial map stitched from hundreds of overlapping drone photos. It looks like a satellite image but is sharper, more current and accurate enough to take measurements from.
