FAQ

What types of drone services do you offer?

We specialize in aerial surveys, inspections, and mapping for industries including construction, infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and real estate.


What are the benefits of using drones for surveys and inspections?

Drones reduce costs, save time, improve safety, and capture high-resolution data that’s more accurate and accessible than traditional methods.


Are your drone operators certified?

Yes. All our pilots are fully licensed, certified and operating under a CAA approved Operations Manual.


What kind of deliverables can I expect?

We provide orthomosaic maps, 3D models, thermal imagery, progress reports, point clouds, and detailed inspection imagery based on your project’s needs.


How accurate is drone survey data?

With the use of RTK/PPK technology and ground control points, our drone surveys can achieve centimetre-level accuracy.


How fast can I get the data?

We aim to deliver most projects within 48 hours, depending on scope and post-processing requirements.


Can drones operate in bad weather?

For flight safety and quality of captured data, surveys and inspections will be scheduled around weather conditions. We will reschedule promptly and keep you informed if there’s a delay.


What industries do you work with?

We serve construction, civil engineering, utilities, mining, agriculture, real estate, insurance, and environmental management sectors.


Is it safe to fly drones near active job sites or infrastructure?

Yes. We follow strict safety protocols and risk assessments before every flight, and we’re fully insured for commercial operations.


Do I need any permits or permissions for drone work on my site?

We handle all necessary airspace authorisations and compliance paperwork so you don’t have to.


How much does a typical drone survey or inspection cost?

Pricing depends on the size, complexity, and location of the project. Contact us for a quote, we offer transparent, competitive pricing.


What equipment do you use?

We use industry-leading drones from DJI equipped with high-resolution RGB, thermal, and multispectral sensors to ensure the best results.


Can I monitor project progress over time?

Yes. We can offer recurring flights for construction progress tracking, asset monitoring, and more.


How do I book a drone survey?

Simply contact us using the form here. We’ll schedule a consultation and plan the flight based on your project goals.


Is my data secure?

Absolutely. All collected data stored securely, and we maintain strict confidentiality for every client.


How accurate are your drone surveys?

Our drone surveys regularly achieve centimetre-level accuracy, using RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning and Ground Control Points (GCPs). This level of precision is suitable for engineering-grade mapping and detailed volumetric analysis.


What is RTK and why does it matter?

RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) is a satellite navigation technique that enhances the precision of GPS data by correcting any signal errors in real time. While standard GPS can be affected by atmospheric interference, satellite orbit deviations, and signal delays, RTK uses a fixed base station to provide correction data to the drone as it flies. This dramatically reduces positional anomalies and inconsistencies, allowing our drones to collect geospatial data with centimetre-level accuracy. As a result, the quality of maps, 3D models, and measurements is significantly improved—making the data more reliable for engineering, planning, and survey-grade applications.


Do you use PPK as well?

Yes. We can also offer PPK (Post-Processed Kinematic) workflows for some surveys, which can sometimes offer even higher reliability and flexibility in challenging environments. PPK allows corrections to be applied after the flight, especially useful when real-time RTK connections are unstable.


Do you use Ground Control Points (GCPs)?

Absolutely. We place and survey Ground Control Points throughout the site. We use advanced image recognition during the data processing stage for improved detection and accuracy. These are used to further refine the accuracy of orthomosaics, models, and measurements.

GCP
How does your accuracy compare to traditional land surveys?

While traditional ground surveys remain the gold standard in some cases, our drone surveys can match or exceed traditional methods in both accuracy and efficiency, especially over large or complex areas. They’re also significantly faster and safer in hazardous environments.


Can you provide accuracy reports or metadata with deliverables?

Yes. We include accuracy reports, flight logs, and metadata with your deliverables so you can verify the quality and precision of the data collected.


What’s the vertical and horizontal accuracy I can expect?

Typical results with RTK and GCP usage are:

  • Horizontal accuracy: ±2–3 cm
  • Vertical accuracy: ±3–5 cm
