Earthwork Numbers You Can Bid On

Civil and earthwork contractors win or lose on quantities. We fly your site and deliver bid takeoffs, cut/fill volumetrics in cubic yards with a balance-point map, pay-app quantity verification, and stockpile measurements — timestamped numbers that hold up in front of an owner, a lender, or a claims reviewer.

Services for Construction

Bid Takeoffs & Existing-Conditions Topo

Fly the site before you price it. Sub-2in orthomosaic and 1-ft contours let your estimator check plan quantities against actual grade instead of trusting the bid set.

Deliverables: Orthomosaic GeoTIFF · 1-ft contours · DSM/DTM

Cut/Fill Volumetrics & Balance-Point Map

Cut and fill in cubic yards against your design surface, plus a balance-point map that shows where dirt should move on site — before you pay to haul it twice.

Deliverables: Volumetric report in cubic yards · Balance-point map · Cross-sections

Pay-App Quantity Verification

Monthly flights that tie moved yardage to your pay applications. Timestamped surfaces and quantity deltas give the owner and lender a number nobody has to argue about.

Deliverables: Period-over-period quantity report · Surface comparisons · Annotated PDF

Stockpile Measurement

Inventory every pile on the yard in a single flight. Volumes in cubic yards with documented accuracy specs — for month-end inventory, material disputes, and haul-out billing.

Deliverables: Per-pile volume table · Orthomosaic · 3D surfaces

Progress Monitoring & Site Documentation

Track project milestones with scheduled aerial captures. Time-series data tied to project phases for owner reporting and draw requests.

Deliverables: Orthomosaic · Progress reports · Timeline overlays

As-Built Documentation & Compliance

Timestamped aerial records meeting regulatory, insurance, and audit requirements. Formatted for the people who need to approve them.

Deliverables: Annotated reports · 3D models · GIS exports

Why Drone Data

Quantities decide margins. Get them from the actual dirt.

Bid with real numbers. A pre-bid flight turns the takeoff from a plan-sheet estimate into a measurement of existing grade — so the surprise yardage shows up in your bid, not in a claim.

Verify what you're paying for and what you're billing. Stockpile volumes, moved yardage, and haul quantities measured from the same surfaces every period — one factual record for subs, suppliers, and pay apps.

Settle disputes with timestamps instead of memories. Orthomosaics and volumetric reports give lenders, owners, and contractors a shared record that holds up under scrutiny.

Integrate with existing workflows. Deliverables export directly into Procore, Bluebeam, AutoCAD, and the GIS platforms your team already uses. See how we process your data →
