Aerial LIDAR Surveying

Quick View

Who: Developers, engineers, planners, large-acreage landowners.

What you get: High-density 3D terrain data, contours, surface models, and CAD-ready files.

Why it matters: Fast, accurate mapping reduces design errors and prevents costly construction delay.

Timeline: 1–5 days depending on acreage.

Costs: Based on site size. Call for quote.

Why Aerial LiDAR Matters for Large or Complex Sites

Traditional ground surveying works well for small properties — but on large tracts, steep terrain, or heavily wooded sites, it can take weeks to gather the same amount of data LiDAR collects in minutes.

Time isn’t the only factor. Incomplete or low-resolution elevation data is one of the top causes of engineering redesigns and unexpected grading work.

And redesigns mean delays — delays that, on commercial projects, routinely cost tens of thousands of dollars per day in labor, equipment, and schedule impacts.

Aerial LiDAR solves the core problem: you start design with a complete, precise model of the land instead of guessing what’s under the tree canopy or beyond line of sight.

That means fewer surprises later, fewer change orders, and fewer days lost to corrections.

What’s Included

We fly your site with high-accuracy LiDAR sensors that capture millions of data points across the terrain. Dense vegetation, steep slopes, and remote sections of the property are no barrier — LiDAR penetrates tree canopy and maps ground surfaces traditional field crews can’t easily reach.

Deliverables typically include:

• High-density point cloud data
• Digital terrain and surface models
• Contours at your required interval
• Orthophotos and georeferenced imagery (as needed)
• CAD-ready files for engineering and planning

Your engineer imports the data directly into their design software with no need for re-drawing or manual point collection.

When You Need Aerial LiDAR

Aerial LiDAR is ideal for large developments, planning studies, road and utility corridors, forestry tracts, mining sites, and any project where speed, accuracy, and full-site visibility matter. Start with complete elevation data up front, and you avoid the redesigns and delays that derail big projects.
