Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is drone mapping data compared to traditional survey methods?
Our drone mapping achieves accuracy within 1-5 centimeters using ground control points and RTK GPS. For most construction and land development applications, this meets or exceeds traditional survey accuracy at a fraction of the cost.
What file formats do you deliver — are they compatible with AutoCAD and GIS software?
Yes. We deliver GeoTIFF orthomosaics, LAS point clouds, DXF contour files, and OBJ 3D models — all compatible with AutoCAD, ArcGIS, QGIS, and major civil engineering platforms.
How long does a drone mapping flight take for a 50-acre site?
A 50-acre site typically takes 1-2 flight sessions of 30-45 minutes each. Data processing into final deliverables takes an additional 1-2 business days depending on project complexity.
Can drone mapping replace a licensed land survey in Kentucky?
Drone mapping provides high-accuracy geospatial data but is not a substitute for a licensed land survey for legal boundary determination. It is ideal for construction planning, volume calculations, and site documentation.
What is a point cloud and how is it used in construction?
A point cloud is a dense set of 3D coordinate data points representing the surface of a site. Construction teams use it for earthwork calculations, as-built verification, clash detection, and creating accurate 3D site models.
