Drone 3D model: a digital twin for your investment.
We generate detailed three-dimensional digital models of industrial facilities, commercial buildings, heritage architecture, and construction sites using high-density aerial photogrammetry. A drone 3D model provides comprehensive spatial context, aiding in project staging and progress tracking over time.
For projects requiring formal metric accuracy and statutory geodetic documentation, we incorporate ground control points (GCP/RTK) and deliver certified reports in collaboration with licensed surveyors.
Applications
What the model is really useful for.
Presenting a development
The mass of the building in the context of its surroundings, for material for the investor, the supervisory board or end clients. One model replaces a dozen photographs.
Decisions and meetings
A shared point of reference in a meeting: everyone looks at the same building instead of describing it in words and sketching it on a napkin.
Documenting the state
A record of the state of a building on a specific day. Comparison with the next model shows what has changed - useful for refurbishments and for heritage buildings.
Planning the works
Assessing access, equipment positioning and the order of works on a building that cannot be walked around or must not be entered.
Hard-to-reach elements
Multi-pitched roofs, towers, chimneys, façades with detail. The model lets you look at them from every side without a lift and without going up at height.
Material for the designer
Spatial context for an architect or a designer as a starting point, supplemented with a proper survey wherever the numbers have to be binding.
Delivery standards
Tailored outputs: from visual twins to geodetic surveys.

Questions
Four questions that come up first.
Can I take measurements on this model?
Yes, the model allows distance, area, and volume measurements directly in the 3D viewer for planning and monitoring. When an investment requires formal legal certainty, official sign-off, or contractor billing settlement, we execute the flight with ground control points (GCP) and deliver a certified geodetic report signed by a licensed land surveyor.
How does a visual model differ from a full geodetic survey model?
A conceptual model is designed for rapid spatial analysis, coordination, and stakeholder presentations. A full geodetic survey model incorporates ground control networks, precision RTK calibration, and a formal report signed by a licensed land surveyor. At Aerfield, we deliver both options tailored to your project requirements.
How long does it take to prepare the model?
The flight itself is usually a few hours in the field, depending on the size of the building and the flight zones. Processing takes from half a day to two business days. The flight date is always conditional on the weather, so we plan the schedule with slack rather than to the minute.
Will you model the interior of a building?
No. We work from the air and outdoors. Interiors, enclosed spaces and buildings that require flying in tight conditions call for a different platform and a different procedure.
The starting point for a standalone assignment: from 2,200 PLN net, quoted by scope. The size of the building, the level of detail required and the flight zones affect the time in the field and in processing, so the price is set after the particular building has been assessed.
