Dirt & Construction Companies

Material volumes make or break a bid, and rework off a bad estimate eats the margin you thought you had. We give you accurate topographic and volumetric data before you price the job — and a dated record of the site for as long as the job runs.

Before the Bid

Topographic mapping and existing-conditions modeling

Earthwork volume calculations and cut & fill against your design surface

Stockpile measurement and material inventory

Site planning and design validation before you break ground

Access and haul route assessment

While the Job Runs

Progress tracking flight to flight, with each capture comparable to the last

Quantity verification to support pay applications

Documentation for owners, lenders, and inspectors

As-built verification against design plans

Two numbers, one flight

Most contractors come to aerial mapping for the bid — they want defensible dirt quantities without paying a crew to walk the site for a week. That alone usually justifies the flight. What tends to surprise people is the second use: because every capture is dated and measurable, the same data that priced the job also settles what moved.

When a pay application gets questioned, the argument is normally about whose estimate to believe. If the site has been flown monthly, it isn't an estimate — it's two surfaces and the difference between them. Contractors who adopt that cadence spend measurably less time in those conversations.

Sensors we use

Photogrammetry for orthomosaics, volumes, and progress on open ground. LiDAR where vegetation or brush hides the surface you need to measure.
