SITE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

Supporting Engineers, Architects, Developers, and General Contractors

Effective site planning starts with understanding the problem and gathering accurate, reliable data. At Vector Drone Service, we take data collection to the next level. With just a single photograph, we can capture up to 9,000 data points, providing comprehensive insights that enhance your fieldwork and decision-making.

Don’t settle for a basic snapshot—take your site planning to new heights by incorporating our advanced aerial imagery and data. We’ll help you see the full picture, ensuring a more informed, efficient planning process.

Get in touch with us for any questions, special requests, or to learn more about how we can support your project.

PRE-DESIGN ANALYSIS

Not sure whether the project is a go?

Allow us to fly an area of interest prior to deciding. We can efficiently collect information so you can make the most important decision for you clients...  

Deciding whether the project is a go.
With our aerials you can confidently measure and access the areas in question. You can also convey to stakeholders why the project needs to go forward. As you know, many of the decision makers (especially in municipal works) never actually see the site. They go off the recommendations of others. By using our aerials you get buy in because they can see and access the problems themselves.

TOPOGRAPHIC

Raising expectations

With our partnerships with Aerotas and using the DatuBIM photogrammetry processing software (the same used by North Carolina and California DOT) Vector Drone Services can provide sub-inch horizontal and 3cm vertical accuracies on Ortho-mosaic images and contour surface models. Sites ranging in size from under an acre to 250 acres+ are right in our wheel house.

Topographic

2D ORTHO-MOSAIC IMAGES

Perfectly Aligned

Using the DatuBIM photogrammetry processing software Vector Drone Services can create ortho-mosaic images that are aligned to local coordinates. Clients can also use this viewer for preliminary measurements and stakeholder engagement. Our images can clearly relay the need for a project to all parties concerned.

LANDSCAPES

Living with the results

We have the ability to capture low level flights of the vegetation for landscape design. Fly throughs along paths, flights below tree lines, and mapping above tree and roof lines can give a complete understanding that needs to be landscaped. Coupled with our topographic, ortho-mosaic and 360 image capture you will have a complete sense of how the space should be designed.

ROOF AND MECHANICALS

Always running

Don't put your employees in dangerous positions, let us put our drones there (literally inches from the subject). With the ability to capture both Color Images(RGB) and thermal readings we can quickly collect information vital for determining if mechanicals are running properly or if wear and tear have made it time to replace them. With these reading we can also determine possible water damage and roof soft spots that may go undetected by a walk over inspection.

BUILDING FAÇADE

Ready. Steady. Click.

Using cutting edge drone technology we can now capture every square inch of a building. Now in Beta Testing, we are producing point clouds (.las files) of the building faces, roof, and mechanicals, making hand measurements above ground level unnecessary. No longer worry if you collected all the measurements in the field, because we have you covered. Just pull up the point cloud in your favorite software and measure what you need.

BUILDING INTERIORS

Filling the Frame

Currently we are using 360 cameras to create 360 walk throughs and virtual tours of existing buildings, to collaborate with stake holders on project scope and go over preliminary issues. Now In beta testing we are using 360 cameras and Drones image to create interior building point cloud models for construction planning and design.
