FAQs About Earthwork Surveys
We answer the most common questions about drone-based cut/fill mapping and deliverables.
Our process analyzes terrain changes using differential layers and elevation data.
Yes. Our spatial references are structured to support common workflows in design and planning environments, including those used in civil and GIS contexts.
Surface variation is typically analyzed with a vertical resolution of ≤3 cm when using RTK/PPK and GCP workflows. This supports layout review and grading interpretation.
