Enough guidance to start a conversation. Final scope is confirmed in writing before work begins.
Indicative pricing only. Final scope depends on site area, travel, airspace, access, terrain, capture requirements, processing and deliverables.
Straightforward desktop work is generally scheduled with a standard turnaround rather than a permanent rush model. Timing depends on the scope, weather, field access, processing requirements and whether external data needs to be sourced.
Good value starts with the smallest useful answer. These guide prices make it easy to begin with one clear output, then add detail only where it earns its place.
Understand the property
~$400 starting point
A practical desktop review that brings together property context, mapping, terrain and available imagery before you commit to field work.
Complex rural properties, historical work, custom mapping or field verification are quoted by scope.
Talk through your siteSee the shape of the land
~$900 starting point
A focused terrain pack, or a useful layer added to property intelligence, mapping or construction work where the landform matters.
Final scope depends on the area, source data, processing and outputs required.
Talk through your siteKeep a clear project record
$750+ per visit
Repeatable visual capture and practical documentation at agreed project stages, giving the project team a consistent record to refer back to.
Repeat projects may have a lower effective per-visit rate when the workflow stays consistent.
Plan a project recordCreate a reusable map
~$1,500 starting point
Current aerial mapping for sites where a measured, annotated or reusable spatial view will help with planning, communication or comparison.
Site area, access, airspace, ground detail, terrain, processing and deliverables all affect scope.
Talk through your siteAdd depth and detail
~$2,000 starting point
Processing-heavy 3D outputs for projects that need more than a flat aerial image and have a clear use for the extra detail.
Models, point clouds and additional processing are scoped around the intended use.
Talk through your siteMake a big property legible
Quoted by scope
Property maps for paddocks, tracks, dams, structures, access, terrain and the features that matter to how you use the land.
Print-ready maps and seasonal repeats can be added where useful.
