FAQs
Q: What type of drone do you use for surveying?
A: We use the DJI Mavic 3E, which features GNSS positioning and a powerful camera system for high-resolution, accurate aerial mapping.
Q: Is drone data accurate enough for legal or engineering use?
A: Yes, when combined with ground control points and GNSS data, our drone surveys meet high accuracy standards suitable for topographical plans and preliminary designs. For boundary marking, a licensed cadastral survey is still required.
Q: How much land can a drone survey cover in one day?
A: Depending on the terrain and weather, we can survey between 20–100 hectares in a single day.
Q: Can drone surveys be used in urban areas?
A: Yes, but flight permissions and airspace restrictions apply. We conduct a risk assessment before every urban job.
Q: Do I need to be on-site for the drone survey?
A: No, in most cases you don’t need to be present. We’ll coordinate access beforehand and share all results digitally after the flight.
