FOR DEVELOPERS

Site Intelligence for Smarter Development Decisions

Real estate developers need accurate site data before committing capital. Our 3D scanning and drone survey services provide the site intelligence — topographic data, existing conditions, and visual documentation — that informed development decisions require. From due diligence through project handover, we deliver the spatial data your team needs at every stage.

Challenges Developers Face

Common documentation challenges we solve for developers every day.

Due Diligence Gaps

Acquiring a property without accurate survey data means unknown site conditions — grading issues, encroachments, structural deficiencies — that surface after close and blow up project budgets.

Progress Visibility

Developers managing multiple projects need objective, visual documentation of construction progress. Monthly site walks and photos are subjective and inconsistent. Drone surveys provide quantifiable progress data.

Stakeholder Communication

Investors, lenders, and municipal reviewers need to understand project scope and progress. 3D models and aerial imagery communicate far more effectively than 2D drawings and narrative reports.

Handover Documentation

Comprehensive as-built documentation at project completion protects against warranty claims and supports future facility management. Most projects lack this — creating liability exposure years later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can drone surveys replace traditional land surveys?

Drone surveys provide excellent topographic data (1-3cm accuracy) suitable for site analysis, grading plans, and volumetrics. However, boundary surveys require licensed land surveyors with property law expertise. We recommend our sister company Apex Surveying & Mapping (apexsurvey.us) for boundary and ALTA surveys in Florida.

What is the cost of recurring progress monitoring?

Progress monitoring pricing depends on site size and flight frequency. For a 5-20 acre site, expect $800-$3,000 per flight session with a 4-hour minimum engagement. Recurring contracts over 6-12 months typically receive volume pricing. Contact us for a project-specific quote.

How quickly can you mobilize for a due diligence survey?

We typically mobilize within 3-5 business days for standard projects. For urgent due diligence needs, we offer expedited service with 1-2 day mobilization in most major metro areas.

Can you provide data for municipal entitlement submissions?

Yes. We provide survey-grade topographic data, aerial imagery, and 3D models that support zoning applications, site plan reviews, and environmental impact assessments. Our deliverables are formatted for municipal planning department submission.

Do you offer marketing-quality aerial photography?

Yes. Our drone flights capture both survey-grade data and high-resolution marketing imagery in a single session. We deliver 4K aerial photos and video alongside the technical survey deliverables at no additional cost.
