Frequently Asked Questions

Can this data be used by our licensed surveyor?
Yes. While we’re not licensed surveyors, all data is collected using an RTK-enabled drone (DJI M350 RTK) with GNSS corrections from MnCORS or a local base. When needed, we establish and measure ground control points (GCPs) using an Emlid RS3 GNSS receiver, providing accuracy within 1–3 cm horizontally and vertically.
 
What deliverables do you provide?
Typical deliverables include:
  • High-resolution orthomosaic (GeoTIFF or JPEG)
  • 3D point cloud (LAS/LAZ)
  • Digital surface model (TIFF or XYZ)
  • DXF or SHP contour files
  • GCP & checkpoint CSVs with WGS84 or local coords
  • Accuracy report with residuals if GCPs/checkpoints are used
Custom formats available upon request (e.g., Civil 3D-ready surfaces, CAD overlays).

What coordinate systems do you support?
  • Default: WGS84

How accurate is your data?
With RTK and proper GCP workflow:
  • Horizontal Accuracy: ±1–2 cm
  • Vertical Accuracy: ±2–4 cm
    Accuracy reports can be included upon request using independent checkpoints.

Can our surveyor import this into Civil 3D or Trimble?
Yes. We can deliver files in compatible formats with georeferencing metadata, projection info, and clearly labeled coordinate systems. We’re happy to coordinate with your team to ensure smooth import and alignment.

How fast is turnaround?
Depending on project size and deliverables:
  • Standard: 48–72 hours
  • Rush: 24 hours (available upon request)

Anything you need from us beforehand?
To ensure alignment with your site work, we may request:
  • Existing control point coordinates (if available)
  • Preferred coordinate system or projection
  • Recent survey/plan for reference

We specialize in aerial mapping, photography, videography, and thermal imaging for industries like construction, real estate, and events.

Yes, all our pilots are fully licensed and insured, ensuring safe, legal, and professional drone operations every time.

Turnaround time typically ranges from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the project size and editing requirements.

We handle all necessary permits and approvals, and we follow strict airspace regulations to fly safely in complex environments.
