Fly. Process. Deliver.
Fly
We plan and fly your site under Part 107 — RTK/PPK-corrected, on your schedule.
Process
Flight data becomes measurable products: orthos, surfaces, point clouds, reports.
Deliver
You get engineering-ready files in the formats your team already uses.

Common questions
What does drone mapping cost?
Drone mapping is priced per project, driven by site size, the deliverables you need, how often we fly, and travel to your location. A single orthomosaic of a compact site is scoped very differently than recurring LiDAR scans of a long corridor, so we quote each job rather than publish flat rates. Send the basics through our quote form and we'll come back with a firm number.
Do I need LiDAR or photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry covers most open construction sites; LiDAR earns its place when you need ground elevations under vegetation or fine structural detail. The right choice depends on surface cover, the tolerances your workflow requires, and which deliverables you'll actually use. Our guide to LiDAR vs. photogrammetry walks through the decision, or describe your site and we'll recommend one.
Can drone mapping replace a traditional land survey?
No. skyZenith provides mapping and scanning data that supports survey and engineering workflows — boundary determinations, certifications, and legal descriptions remain the work of your licensed surveyor. Most teams hand our engineering-ready files directly to their surveyor or civil engineer, who builds on them.
