Hi Patrick,

My company provides just the services you are describing.  You are likely correct that a full municipal flyover would be aggressive, but we have flown several hundred acres in a day for cemetery, facility campus, and development as-built mapping type projects.  The image resolution and accuracy capabilities can be pretty remarkable.

Happy to chat further if you would like.

Thanks,

Andy Street

Hello,

 

I am curious if anyone has experience with hiring contractors who use drones for generating planimetric and orthophoto base mapping rather than more traditional aerial flyovers? Probably more at the sub-municipal, college/university geographic extents (20 or 40 scale). I would appreciate hearing your experiences, especially the pros and cons of drone use versus traditional flyovers. Please feel free to email me directly and I will compile the responses.

 

Thanks!

 

Patrick
