Aerial Mapping & Drone Surveys

Searching for aerial mapping near you in Northeast Tennessee or Southwest Virginia? We fly grid missions and turn them into orthomosaic maps, 3D models, topographic surfaces, and volume measurements — flown by an FAA Part 107 licensed, fully insured pilot based in Bristol.

Deliverables

What You Actually Receive

Mapping is not just nicer photos from higher up. These are measurable data products your team can work from.

Orthomosaic Maps

Hundreds of overlapping images stitched into one geometrically corrected top-down map of the whole site — sharp enough to measure distances and areas from.

3D Models & Point Clouds

Textured 3D site models and point cloud data you can rotate, section, and hand to your design or coordination team.

Topographic & Elevation Data

Digital surface models and contour output supporting grading, drainage, and site planning decisions.

Volume & Stockpile Reports

Cut, fill, and stockpile volumes measured from the flight data, repeatable on the same flight plan each month.

Drone mapping supports surveyors, engineers, and contractors. It does not replace licensed land surveying, and we do not provide surveying services where that license is legally required.

Common Projects

What Gets Mapped Around Here

  • Pre-construction existing-condition capture
  • Monthly construction progress maps
  • Earthwork and material volume tracking
  • Development and subdivision site planning support
  • Land, farm, and acreage documentation
  • Utility corridor and right-of-way mapping
  • Industrial facility and laydown-yard mapping
  • Post-storm condition and damage records

How It Works

Booking a Mapping Flight

  1. 1Send the site address, boundary, and what the data is for.
  2. 2We check airspace, request authorization if the site needs it, and plan the grid.
  3. 3We fly the mission at fixed altitude and overlap, usually in a single visit.
  4. 4Imagery is processed into your deliverables and delivered as downloadable files.

Scope & Cost

What Drives the Price

  • Small sites (a few acres) are typically a single short flight.
  • Large sites and corridors take multiple batteries and longer processing.
  • Recurring progress programs are priced per visit and get cheaper per flight.
  • Turnaround for processed data is normally a few business days.

Send the site boundary and we will quote the actual flight rather than a generic rate.
