DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY & AERIAL MAPPING

A clear view, from above.

Aerial photography, site inspections, and precision mapping — orthophotos, digital terrain and elevation models — for construction, land, and infrastructure projects across Calgary and beyond.

WHAT WE OFFER

Three ways to put a drone to work.

Aerial Photography & Video

High-resolution stills and video from angles a ground-based camera can't reach — site progress documentation, marketing imagery, and visual records over the life of a project.

Site & Infrastructure Inspection

Close-range aerial inspection of roofs, building exteriors, and hard-to-access structures — without the cost, time, or risk of manual access equipment.

Mapping & Elevation Products

Orthophotos, digital terrain models, and digital elevation models built from aerial imagery — suited to site planning, grading, and earthwork.

MAPPING PRODUCTS

Built from the same flight, three different ways.

ORTHOPHOTO

Orthophoto

A geometrically corrected aerial image you can measure directly from — true to scale, with distortion removed.

DTM

Digital Terrain Model

A bare-earth surface model, with vegetation and structures removed — useful for grading, drainage, and earthworks planning.

DEM

Digital Elevation Model

A broader elevation surface model, including terrain and surface features such as structures and vegetation.

ACCURACY TO MATCH YOUR PROJECT

Two levels of precision, depending on what you need.

STANDARD MAPPING

GPS-Based Capture

Suited to visual reference, planning, and progress tracking — fast to turn around, and accurate enough for most site-level decisions.

SURVEY-GRADE MAPPING

Ground-Control Corrected

Positional accuracy corrected against ground control points — suited to engineering, grading, and earthwork verification where precision matters most.

Exact accuracy specs depend on site conditions and ground control availability — happy to walk through what's achievable for your project.

Let's talk about your site.

Every project is a little different. Email a few details — site size, what you're trying to capture, and your timeline — and we'll put together a plan and a quote.
