Precision.
Delivered.

From raw drone capture to machine-ready surface model — we handle the data, so you can move dirt.

What We Do

Services

01

Models & Machine Control

TIN surface models for data collectors and machines. Ready for earthwork, grading and paving.

02

GPS Layout

Cut/fill stakes, form nails, benchmarks and grade sets for civil earthwork and structures.

03

Aerial Topography

Elevation data, natural ground and progress tracking across the whole site.

04

Takeoff & Volumetrics

Earthwork and material quantities, with the report to back the number.

How It Works

Flight to finished file.

01 · CAPTURE RTK drone staged on site before a mapping flight

Capture

RTK-corrected flight tied to ground control. One mobilization, whole site.

02 · PROCESS Dense point cloud of a graded earthwork site

Process

Dense cloud to clean ground surface — vegetation and noise stripped, breaklines where they matter.

03 · MODEL Triangulated surface model with elevation banding

Model

Ground becomes a TIN surface your data collector and machines read directly.

04 · REPORT Volume takeoff report exported to a spreadsheet

Report

Cut, fill and net quantities written up in a form you can bill and track against.

What You Get

Data you can bill from.

Dense Cloud Dense point cloud of a graded slope and haul road EXISTING
Volume Callout Stockpile with computed volume annotated on the model 796.5 YD³

Aerial Topography

RTK-corrected capture processed into cut/fill-ready surfaces — matched to your grading plan, not a generic template. Fly the same site monthly and the surfaces stack, so progress is measured instead of estimated.

Surface Model Pad and slope surface model with grade breaks TIN

Models & Machine Control

TIN surface models for data collectors and machines — corridors, intersections, pads and ponds, ready for earthwork, grading and paving. Exported in the format you already run, so nothing gets converted on your end.

Construction Layout

Cut/fill stakes, form nails, offsets, benchmarks and grade sets — set with GPS or total station. No flight required. Send the plans and we put the points in the ground, on your schedule.

Takeoff Report Earthwork takeoff report with cut, fill and net quantities CUT / FILL / NET

Takeoff

Design surface dropped over captured existing ground gives you the real number before a machine moves. Earthwork and material quantities come back as a report you can bid from, check against, and hand to the owner.

Proof of Work

Volume reports for billing and ongoing tracking.

Every aerial topography job includes a full cut/fill breakdown — surface-to-surface, grid-based, ready for review before a single machine moves. Fly it again next month and the same report shows exactly what moved.
