Aerial data / Drone surveys

Drone and aerial imagery
at centimeter detail.

When satellite detail is not enough, a drone survey or crewed aerial imagery can map a roof, plot, field or construction site at a few centimeters per pixel. Tell us the site and the deliverables you need, and we arrange a quote with a qualified operator.

Availability, minimum order area, price and license depend on the location and the request. We confirm them in your quote; submitting an enquiry does not place an order.

What you can order

What a drone or aerial survey delivers.

Orthomosaic
Hundreds of photos stitched into one map-accurate image you can measure on and overlay in GIS or Google Earth.
Elevation models and contours
Surface and terrain models (DSM and DTM) with contour lines, slopes and stockpile volumes. LiDAR drones can measure the ground under vegetation.
3D model and point cloud
A 3D mesh or point cloud of buildings, structures and terrain for planning and inspection.
Multispectral and thermal
Drone sensors for crop health (NDVI), roof heat loss and solar panel inspection.

Common uses

Common drone and aerial jobs.

Roofs and buildings

Inspect a roof or façade without scaffolding, and document its condition.

Construction and earthworks

Track progress, measure stockpiles and compare the site with the plan.

Land for sale or development

Map a plot with contours and boundaries of features before you build or sell.

Farms and solar sites

Scout crops, map drainage, or check panels and site layout.

How ordering works

From your request
to files you can use.

  1. 01

    Tell us the place and the need

    Share the location or boundary, the dates and what you want to see or measure. A rough description is enough to start.

  2. 02

    Review the options and the quote

    We check suitable sources and show the capture dates, coverage, resolution, license and complete price before you commit.

  3. 03

    Receive the data

    Get the files with their metadata and license, ready for your own tools, or ask us to quote an analysis.

Before you buy, check

  • Airspace rules and permissions; the operator handles flight approvals, and you arrange site access.
  • Weather and wind on the planned day.
  • Ground control points if you need survey-grade accuracy.
  • Privacy of neighboring properties.
  • Whether an existing aerial archive or satellite image already answers the question for less.

Questions

Drone and aerial imagery: your questions.

How much does a drone survey cost?

Most drone surveys are priced per site: a mobilization fee plus the area, the accuracy you need and the deliverables. Small sites are often a flat fee, and LiDAR costs more than photo surveys. Your quote breaks the price down.

Drone or satellite imagery?

Drones give centimeter detail on small sites, fly under cloud and measure volumes. Satellites cover large or remote areas, cost less per hectare at scale, and have archives of past dates. Many projects combine both.

Do I need permission to fly over my land?

Drone flights are regulated, for example under FAA Part 107 in the United States and EASA rules in Europe. A qualified operator plans the flight and handles approvals; you confirm access to the site.
