Drone-based photogrammetry and LiDAR processing — design-grade mapping at the scale where GIS information is not enough.
Drone-Based Mapping for Civil Design
DJI Mini 5 Pro photogrammetry missions processed through WebODM and ReCap to deliver design-grade orthomosaics, contours, and meshes. Faster and cheaper than conventional topo on appropriately-scaled sites — and produces a richer model for downstream design.
Existing-Condition Base Mapping
Survey-anchored base mapping for civil design when full conventional topo is overkill but a Google Earth screenshot isn't enough. Tied to NGS benchmarks for vertical control, coordinated with a licensed surveyor for boundary work when required.
FAA Part 107 UAS Data Collection
Commercial-licensed UAS operations under FAA Part 107 — pre-flight airspace coordination, LAANC authorizations, and mission planning to capture the data product the design actually needs. Insurance and operating documentation available for client review.
RTK-Positioned Ground Control
Survey-grade RTK GNSS ground control points (Emlid Reach RX2) to register photogrammetry and LiDAR data products into the project coordinate system. Delivers the centimeter-level accuracy that distinguishes design-grade mapping from visualization-grade.
LiDAR Point Cloud Processing
iPhone-class and survey-grade LiDAR point cloud capture and processing through Civil 3D, ReCap, and QGIS workflows. Useful for tight-site existing-condition capture, as-built verification, and interior/under-canopy areas drone photogrammetry can't reach.
3D Site & Building Visualization
Blender-based 3D site and building visualization for client presentations, public meetings, and design review. Turns a flat grading plan into something a homeowner, HOA, or city council can actually evaluate — without commissioning a separate visualization firm.
