Photogrammetry & 3D Site Capture

Turn overlapping aerial imagery into a detailed digital representation of the site.

Photogrammetry uses many overlapping images captured from planned positions to reconstruct site geometry digitally.

Depending on the job, this can produce a 3D model, point cloud, orthomosaic and elevation-related outputs from the same field capture.

The commercial value is not the “cool 3D model”. The value is having a detailed site dataset that can support visual review, communication, mapping, repeat comparison and further analysis.

Suitable projects

Rural land
Earthworks
Construction sites
Development areas
Difficult-to-view terrain
Structures and visible external site features
Repeat project capture

Possible deliverables

Textured 3D model
Dense point cloud
Orthomosaic
Elevation outputs
Contours
Hillshade
Project screenshots / fly-throughs
Mapped PDF plates

From approximately $2,000. More processing-heavy outputs are charged incrementally rather than bundled into every job. Indicative pricing only. Final scope depends on site area, travel, airspace, access, terrain, capture requirements, processing and deliverables.
