Why Choose Drone Land Surveying?

  1. Accurate Boundary Mapping

    The Border survey drone will take each square inch of your land in detail and ensure that you’re in a position to determine exactly where the boundaries of your property begin and where they will end.

    2. Identify Easements and Encroachments

    We can help you find concealed easements for utilities such as sewer lines, water, or power lines. We also help you identify any encroachments, like barriers or constructions that traverse property lines – before they turn into disputes.

    3. Structure and Feature Mapping

    Our drone surveying services will locate existing structures, driveways, and fences, which can assist with the design of your site and property assessment.

    4. Flood & Elevation Data

    With drone land surveying, it is possible to determine whether your land is located in a flood area and also obtain elevation certificates that are required to build or insure.

    5. Development & Subdivision Planning

    If you’re planning to divide your property or planning a new construction, our aerial surveys offer transparent and verified location data to help you with designing and zoning.

    6. Cost Transparency

    Looking for a drone topographic survey cost or drone land surveying cost estimate? Our team can provide low prices with no extra charges, which will help you budget your expenses on any task.

    Septic Suitability

    • Some land surveyors also assist with percolation tests to determine on-site septic feasibility, crucial if you’re building on rural land.
Types of Drone Land Surveys

Common Types of Drone Land Surveys

  1. Residential Lot or Mortgage Survey

 

When you purchase a home or refinance, lenders often require a survey to:

  • Verify boundary lines.
  • Locate improvements (buildings, fences, driveways).
  • Assist in mortgage closing documentation.

Our drone surveying services provide quick, high-resolution images and precise boundary data, ideal for lenders, real estate agents, and homeowners.

 

  1. Boundary Survey

 

For larger areas (often larger than one acre), a boundary survey pinpoints the corners and lines boundaries of property on an outline of the survey. By using drones for land surveying, it is possible to:

  • Receive accurate corner locations quickly.
  • Mark or flag boundaries on request.
  • Pinpoint easement lines for future reference.

 

  1. Construction Staking

 

Before and during development, construction staking ensures buildings, roads, and utilities are placed precisely where they should be. Aerial land surveying helps:

  • Identify the correct elevation for foundational work.
  • Stop encroachments on neighboring easements or lots.

Increase the speed of the layout process using drone-acquired information.

 

  1. Site Plan

 

Site plans are typically required to obtain local approval before the construction of a house or other structure. Land surveys by drones can offer:

  • Accurate terrain and boundary information for planning.
  • Visual overviews to facilitate design and permitting.
  • Updated mapping during and after construction.

 

  1. Topographic Survey

 

Topographic (topo) surveys reveal natural and human-made features, like streams, fences, trees, and utilities, in addition to elevation contours. Drone-based surveying:

  • Captures site contours more efficiently than ground crews.
  • Produces high-resolution 3D models for planning and engineering.
  • Minimizes disturbance to sensitive or uneven terrain.

 

6. Subdivision Survey

If you want to divide a larger parcel into smaller lots, a subdivision survey is needed. Aerial surveying is the best method to do this.

  • Expedite measurements for several planned lots.
  • Create subdivision plans faster for city or county approval.
  • Reduce costs compared to traditional surveying methods.

 

7. Elevation Survey

 

For properties in or near flood-prone areas, an elevation data faster using drone land surveying:

  • Determines if structures lie above floodplain limits.
  • Helps secure accurate flood insurance.
  • It can be completed faster with drone land surveying technology.

 

  1. ALTA Survey

 

An ALTA Land Title Survey follows strict national standards for commercial or complex property transactions. While more in-depth and comprehensive, aerial land surveys can assist by:

  • Collecting detailed site data for final ALTA mapping.
  • Minimizing on-site time for survey crews.

Money-Saving Tip

Want to save on surveying costs? Schedule your drone land surveying in cooler months when foliage is low, improving visibility and reducing drone land surveying cost. It is also possible to divide the project into phases to ensure optimal efficiency and budget control.

FAQs

1. What is drone land surveying?

Land surveying by drones employs UAVs, also known as unmanned drones (UAVs), outfitted with LiDAR cameras or high-resolution ones to gather detailed map data. It’s quicker, more precise, and usually less expensive than traditional ground-based techniques.

The drones we use for surveying services provide centimeter-level accuracy. This accuracy assists engineers, developers, and property owners in making certain decisions regarding design, construction, and adherence to regulations.

The cost of Drone Land Surveying is dependent on the size of the project, the terrain, and the kind of survey. In general, it’s more economical than manual surveying as it requires less work and takes less time.

Factors include property size, vegetation density, and desired data resolution. Drone surveys are typically completed faster, which helps lower the overall drone topographic survey cost.

A drone building survey complements traditional inspections by providing detailed aerial imagery, structure mapping, and condition assessments-especially for large or hard-to-reach areas.
