LiDAR Drone Surveying
Across Colorado

Topographic Mapping

High-density elevation data for grading plans, cut/fill analysis, and terrain modeling across mountain terrain.

Point Cloud Classification

Automated classification of ground, vegetation, structures, and utilities for clean deliverables your team can use immediately.

Volumetric Calculations

Precise earthwork volume measurements for stockpile tracking, excavation verification, and material management.

BIM Integration

Point cloud exports formatted for Revit, AutoCAD, and Civil 3D — ready to drop into your existing BIM workflows.

Vegetation Penetration

Multi-return LiDAR that sees through canopy to reveal true ground elevation under dense Colorado tree cover.

Survey-Grade Accuracy

RTK-corrected positioning delivers centimeter-level accuracy that meets ASPRS and FEMA mapping standards.

Pre-construction topographic surveys, grading verification, and as-built documentation for residential and commercial projects across Colorado.

Detailed terrain analysis for mountain and Front Range site planning, driveway design, and drainage modeling on complex Colorado terrain.

Property boundary surveys, land management planning, and conservation easement mapping for rural and agricultural properties statewide.

What is LiDAR drone surveying?

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses emitted from a drone-mounted sensor to create detailed 3D maps of terrain and structures. Unlike photogrammetry, LiDAR penetrates vegetation to capture true ground elevation — making it ideal for Colorado's varied terrain from mountain forests to plains.

How accurate is drone LiDAR?

Our RTK-corrected LiDAR system achieves centimeter-level accuracy (±2-3cm horizontal, ±3-5cm vertical) across any Colorado terrain. This meets ASPRS Class 1 standards and is accepted by county surveyors and engineering firms statewide.

How long does a LiDAR drone survey take?

Most residential and small commercial sites can be flown in 30-60 minutes. Larger ranch or agricultural properties may require 2-4 hours of flight time. Processed deliverables are typically ready within 24-48 hours.

What deliverables do I get from a drone LiDAR survey?

Standard deliverables include classified point clouds (LAS/LAZ), digital elevation models (DEM), digital surface models (DSM), contour maps, and CAD-ready exports. We also provide BIM-compatible formats for Revit and Civil 3D integration.

How much does drone LiDAR surveying cost?

Every project is scoped individually based on site size, terrain complexity, and deliverable requirements. LiDAR surveys are priced per acre with volume discounts for larger properties. Contact us for a custom quote — we respond within 24 hours.
