Drone orthophotomap: the entire site in one precision image.
A drone orthophotomap is an orthorectified, seamless, high-resolution visual record of a site - showing every detail of the construction area, access ways, utility infrastructure and adjacent plots. It serves as an essential tool for master planning, stakeholder alignment and cyclical monitoring.
We deliver orthophotomaps in standard GIS/CAD formats (GeoTIFF, ECW, PNG) with full georeferencing. When your project requires statutory documentation for design purposes or cadastral submission, we conduct surveys tied to ground control points (GCPs) in partnership with licensed land surveyors.
Two delivery standards
Tailored precision for each project stage.
We adapt the method to the exact objective: from rapid operational orthophotomaps for site management, to certified geodetic surveys carrying full legal validity.
Operational orthophotomap
For planning and site oversight. High-resolution raster base layer with georeferencing for ongoing analysis, progress tracking and site coordination.
- ground resolution (GSD) from 1 to 3 cm/px
- site layout logistics, access roads, subcontractor coordination
- cyclical progress monitoring of earthworks and structural stages
- raster layers (GeoTIFF, PNG) ready for CAD and GIS workflows
Certified geodetic survey
With legal validity. Deliverables stamped and signed by a licensed land surveyor, formally incorporated into official construction and statutory documentation.
- surveys tied to ground control points (GCP/RTK)
- map for design purposes (MDCP) for building permits
- as-built survey of structures, terrain and utilities
- certified survey report backed by statutory professional liability
Low-altitude photogrammetry benefits
Three key advantages for your investment.
GSD below 3 cm per pixel
Precision unattainable by satellite imagery or traditional aviation. Clear visibility of manholes, curbs, reinforcement and infrastructure details.
Fast turnaround
Dozens of hectares surveyed in a matter of hours. Finished orthophotomaps and point clouds delivered within 24-48 hours after flight completion.
CAD and GIS compatibility
Delivered in official coordinate reference systems (PL-2000, PL-1992, UTM, WGS84), ready for seamless overlay onto architectural and engineering design files.
All photogrammetric surveys follow the standards of aerial mapping, maintaining high forward and lateral overlap and consistent lighting conditions.
Surveyor cooperation
Photogrammetric flight and full geodetic support.
We collaborate directly with general contractors and developers as well as with licensed surveying and engineering firms. We can provide raw aerial photogrammetry according to your technical specifications, or deliver turnkey geodetic surveys signed by a licensed land surveyor.
Save extensive time in the field while obtaining comprehensive, centimetre-accurate site data captured safely and consistently.
Questions
Five questions about this service.
Is this orthophotomap suitable for design purposes?
Yes. For preliminary conceptual layouts, terrain balancing and site planning we deliver a calibrated GeoTIFF base layer. When a construction project requires a statutory map for design purposes (MDCP), we execute photogrammetric flights with GCP ground control in cooperation with a licensed land surveyor, delivering a complete geodetic survey with full legal validity.
What accuracy does a drone orthophotomap achieve?
Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) typically ranges from 1 to 3 cm per pixel, delivering an exceptional level of detail. For certified geodetic deliverables, absolute accuracy is calibrated using ground control points (GCPs) tied to the national coordinate system, ensuring centimetre-level accuracy verified by a survey report.
How does an orthophotomap support the investment process?
It provides a single, high-precision visual record of the entire site: construction logistics planning, evaluating access roads and ground occupation, earthwork volume balancing, comparing progress across milestones, subcontractor coordination, and executive reporting for investors.
Can you calculate stockpile and earthwork volumes?
Yes. We calculate earthwork volumes and stockpile cubatures from digital surface and terrain models (DSM/DTM). For balances required for formal contractor billing, construction acceptance handovers or dispute documentation, we execute flights tied to ground control points in partnership with a licensed surveyor, delivering a stamped, certified volume report.
How large an area does one assignment cover?
It depends on required ground resolution, site topography and airspace airspace zones. Flights are conducted under Visual Line of Sight (VLOS), with larger territories surveyed systematically in sections from dedicated launch positions. We determine the exact flight operational plan following a site feasibility assessment.
The starting point for a standalone assignment: from 2,200 PLN net, quoted by scope. The size of the site, the coverage required and the flight zones change the scope enough that the price is set after the particular plot has been assessed.
