How often can you visit?
Whatever suits your programme. Most clients choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits, with extra flights for key milestones.
Can you measure stockpiles and earthworks?
Yes. We create 3D models from the survey data and calculate volumes, so you can track earthworks and materials.
What formats do you deliver?
Imagery, video, orthomosaics, point clouds and 3D models, with CAD and Revit outputs available through our measured survey service.
Can you make a time lapse of the build?
Yes. Visits can be combined into a time lapse showing the whole project from start to finish.
