Reality capture for land surveyors

You have more work than crew days. We are the capture arm you call when the schedule will not stretch. You keep the client, you keep the scope, and you keep the certification. We collect, classify and hand you data in the format your office already runs.

01/The problem

The bottleneck is almost never the office.

Most surveying firms we work with are not short on work or short on software. They are short on field days. A parcel that ties up two people for a week is a week those two people are not on the next four jobs.

Subcontracting the capture is straightforward when the vendor understands what a surveyor actually needs. Control that gets observed and checked. Classification that is real rather than automatic. A processing report you can look at instead of a claim you have to trust. Deliverables in your coordinate system, at your interval, in your format.

What we hand your office

  • Classified LAS or LAZ in your coordinate system and datum
  • Bare earth DTM with vegetation and structures removed
  • Contours at your interval with breaklines
  • Feature linework extracted to DWG, DXF or DGN
  • Civil 3D or LandXML surface
  • Control and check point residuals in a written report
  • Colorized cloud and orthomosaic from the same flight
  • Raw data archived and available on request

How it fits your workflow

01

You define the scope

Boundary, datum, interval, format and tolerance come from you. We do not reinterpret a scope you already sold.

02

Your control or ours

If your crew has already set and observed control, we hold it. If not, we set targets and observe them, and the report tells you exactly what was done.

03

We stay behind the curtain

White label is the default. No branding on your deliverable, no contact with your client unless you put us in the room and ask us to be there.

04

Certification stays where it belongs

We deliver capture data. The professional judgment, the certification and the seal are yours. That is not a limitation we work around, it is how the relationship is supposed to work.

03/Proof

Data from delivered work.

Classified LiDAR data showing ground separated from vegetation
Classification checked, not accepted from an automatic filter.
Survey ground control target set and observed on site
Control set and observed on site, with residuals reported.
Bare earth extracted from beneath dense canopy
Canopy penetration on a wooded parcel. Ground returns retained under cover.

What we typically fly for this work.

05/Questions

Common questions.

Do you compete with us for the client?
No. Firms send us work because we are the capture arm, not another surveyor bidding the same jobs. We do not offer certified boundary or ALTA work, and we are not trying to.
Will the deliverable have your branding on it?
Not unless you ask for it. White label is the default and most of our AEC work goes out under the client's name.
What accuracy can we hold you to?
We agree the tolerance during scoping, plan the control and flight parameters to hit it, and report the checks so you can verify rather than assume. If a site will not support the tolerance you need, we say so before flying instead of after.
Can you work in our coordinate system?
Yes. State plane, a local grid, NAVD88 or a project datum. Tell us the frame during scoping and everything arrives in it.
How fast can you get to a site?
In the Panhandle, usually within a few days and often sooner. Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida run on scheduled trips, which is why bundling several parcels into one mobilization is worth planning.
05/Next step

Start with one site.

Send the boundary and the deliverable you need. We scope it, fly it, and return the data in your format, typically in under seven days.
