DRONE AS A SERVICE
Buildsite
Target Client:
Developers, civil engineers, architects, or site planners who need precise, survey-grade geospatial data for construction, design, permitting, or land development.
Pain Point:
They need detailed topographic information, accurate measurements, and CAD-ready outputs—but traditional surveys are slow, expensive, and sometimes incomplete.
Solution/Promise:
High-resolution terrain modeling and data-rich site intelligence using aerial photogrammetry and/or LiDAR, delivered in formats ready for CAD, GIS, or planning tools.
Deliverables:
– Survey-grade orthomosaic (sub-5cm GSD if achievable)
– Dense point cloud (photogrammetric or LiDAR-based)
– DTM/DSM/contour maps (1m or tighter depending on needs)
– Full 3D model with export formats (.obj, .dxf, .las)
– CAD overlay support (shapefiles, DXF contours, etc.)
– Optional: volumetric analysis, cut/fill modeling, drainage patterns
– Technical report PDF with metadata and site notes
Gear Used:
Matrice 350 RTK with LiDAR payload or high-res RGB sensor
GCPs and RTK/PPK support if required
Processing Tools:
Pix4D Mapper, DJI Terra, Agisoft, CloudCompare, QGIS
Turnaround Time:
5 to 10 business days depending on data volume and post-processing load
Base Price:
Starts around $1,750+, scaling with site complexity, data formats, and scope
