What we fly, and what you get back.
One mobilization collects every layer at once. Elevation, imagery, and thermal on the same flight and the same control, so the layers agree with each other by construction. Pick the deliverables after the data lands, not before.
From the sensor to your software.
Aerial LiDAR mapping
Classified point cloud, bare earth under canopy, contours and Civil 3D surfaces from a single flight.
Details →Photogrammetry and orthomosaics
Orthorectified imagery and colorized 3D mesh, tied to the same control as the LiDAR.
Details →Digital twins
A measurable copy of the building on your server, so the next question does not need another trip.
Details →Thermal and IR imaging
Radiometric thermal for roofs, envelopes, arrays and electrical, flown on the same mobilization.
Details →Terrestrial LiDAR scanning
Ground based scanning for undersides, garages and interiors, registered to the aerial data.
Details →Topographic mapping
Vacant land topo, as builts and drainage data. The highest volume work we do.
Details →Aerial LiDAR mapping
A laser does not care about shadows, tree cover, or how much the site looks like every other acre of scrub. It measures what is there. We fly the boundary once and hand back a classified point cloud you can build a surface from.
You get back
- Classified LAS or LAZ point cloud
- Bare earth DTM and full feature DSM
- Contours at your interval, DWG or DXF
- Breaklines and feature linework to CAD
- Civil 3D surfaces ready to import
- Colorized point cloud from the same flight
Photogrammetry and orthomosaics
An orthomosaic is a map you can measure on. Not a pretty aerial for the cover page, a geometrically corrected image tied to control, at a resolution where the crack, the joint, and the paint line are all visible.
You get back
- Orthorectified imagery, GeoTIFF with world file
- Colorized photogrammetric point cloud
- Textured 3D mesh, OBJ or FBX
- Digital surface model
- Site panoramas and oblique sets
- Annotated exhibits for permitting or board packets
Digital twins
The value is not the picture. The value is that in month four, when someone asks how many windows are on the north elevation and what size they are, you answer from the data instead of sending a person back out with a ladder.
You get back
- Window and opening schedules with dimensions
- Balcony and slab edge dimensions
- Railing heights and post spacing
- Facade areas by elevation
- Roof planes, slopes and areas
- Feature lines exported to CAD
Thermal and IR imaging
Thermal finds what the eye cannot. Trapped moisture in a roof assembly, a failed seal on an elevation, a hot connection on a service, a dead string in an array. All of it shows up as temperature before it shows up as damage.
You get back
- Radiometric thermal imagery with temperature data retained
- Paired visible imagery from the same pass
- Thermal orthomosaic over the roof or elevation
- Anomaly locations marked on a site plan
- Side by side comparison exhibits
- Findings summary with observed temperature ranges
Terrestrial LiDAR scanning
An aircraft sees the top of the world. Some of the answers are underneath it. Terrestrial scanning fills in the garages, the balcony undersides, the interiors and the tight geometry the aerial pass cannot reach.
You get back
- Registered terrestrial point cloud
- Combined aerial and terrestrial model on one control frame
- Interior floor plans traced from the scan
- Sections and elevations to CAD
- Clearance and dimension checks
- Panoramic imagery tied to scan positions
Topographic mapping
Vacant land topo, as builts for civil work, and water flow assessment are the highest volume work we have ever done. It is unglamorous, it is constant, and it is where a fast, accurate capture partner saves a firm the most money.
You get back
- Existing conditions topographic surface
- Contours at your interval, DWG or DXF
- Spot elevations at features and controls
- Breaklines along curbs, ditches and slope changes
- Civil 3D surface ready for design
- Drainage and flow direction exhibits
Delivered in the format your software reads.
Rebuilding a deliverable because it arrived in the wrong format is pure waste. Tell us what your team opens and that is what shows up.

One week, call to delivery.
Most sites move from a scoping call to delivered data inside one week. Weather and airspace are the only variables, and we tell you about both up front.
Before we fly
FAA Part 107 certificated, airspace authorizations handled in house, and one million dollars in liability coverage. Certificates on request.
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.
