Drone Mapping & Site Intelligence

Making Site Decisions Is Difficult When the Information Is Incomplete, Outdated, or Hard to Access

Plans become outdated. Ground photographs show fragments. Measurements may be missing. Returning to the site every time a question comes up costs time and slows decisions.

When Critical Information Matters

When Your Team Needs a Clearer, More Current View

When decisions depend on conditions that are changing, incomplete, or difficult to verify, a clearer view can reduce uncertainty. VertiMaps scopes the mapping workflow around the information your team needs to move forward with confidence. 
  • Site plans or imagery no longer reflect current conditions
  • Ground photographs show individual details but not how the whole site fits together
  • Stockpile, excavation, or material quantities need reliable measurement from current site data.
  • Surface areas, elevation changes, grading, or terrain conditions need to be quantified quickly and consistently.
  • Measurements taken by different people do not agree
  • A missing distance, area or quantity forces another field visit
  • Large properties take too long to review on foot
  • Remote stakeholders struggle to understand the site
  • Terrain, grading or drainage relationships are hard to visualize from the ground
  • Teams are working from different versions of site information
  • There is no reliable baseline for comparing future changes
  • Current conditions need to be shared with contractors, engineers or consultants
  • Existing drawings do not accurately represent what is on the ground today

The VertiMaps solution

One well-planned aerial capture can answer far more than one question.

VertiMaps designs each capture around what your team actually needs to understand—current conditions, measurements, terrain, quantities, remote review, or change over time. From flight geometry and photo overlap ratio to camera orientation, positioning, and processing, every step is planned around the information you need to use afterward. 

 

Understand Your Need

Start with the decision, uncertainty, or field condition your team needs to understand. 

Design the capture

Choose coverage, flight geometry, camera settings, and positioning around the intended result. 

Build the site record

Process the capture into the map, surface, model, or measurable output that best fits the need. 

Deliver it for use

Organize the outputs so your team can review, share, compare, measure, and act on them efficiently. 

Available Deliverables

Choose the deliverables that best support what you need to accomplish.

You do not need every output. VertiMaps recommends the combination that gives your team the clearest, most useful information for the way you plan to use it.

Source imagery and applicable raw mapping data can also be delivered alongside processed outputs for internal analysis, archiving or compatible downstream workflows. .
