Construction
Timelapses, 2D Orthographic and 3D Models


Progress Reporting:
Record and Deliver
Construction today requires absolute attention to detail, and comprehensive reports. Whether you're a developer, an investor, construction or landscaping, Summit Aerial Drones can provide aerial timelapses for use on social media, investor presentations, or on your website.
​
2D Orthographic Models can be used for elevation, plant health, and project management. Far more accurate and high resolution than google maps. Keep track of build stages, organize lots, and production.
​
3D Models are a new and innovative way to showcase your builds, provide new clients with a 3D Model of their potential new home. Identify elevation concerns, and use volumetric data for back fill or grading information.

3D Models
Inspect, Create, Preserve.
Modern drone technology can do some incredible things. Thanks to GPS Connectivity, all drone photos are geotagged this allows software such as Agisoft Meta Shape or Open Drone Maps to stitch each photo together into a comprehensive map based on GPS Coordinates.
​
The camera data also includes depth information, allowing for 3D Models to be generated of geographic features, landmarks and buildings.
​
This can save time on construction sites with progress reporting, preserve historic buildings digitally for insurance purposes, and provide an overview for raw land features.
2D Mapping
Planning and Research
All of the information that 3D Models require, can easily generate 2D Maps and NDVI Maps (Neutral Density Vegetation Index)
​
These 2D Maps far and away exceed the quality of Google Maps for construction planning and don't have the disadvantages of being out of date. In 45 Minutes or more you can generate an up to date high quality map of your location.
​
This technology has been widely used in the agricultural sector to manage crop health and fertilizer distribution. In the construction industry it's deployed to generate progress reports and inspections. While Summit Aerial Drone Services is not Survey Grade. This technology is a boon to the land survey industry and can be deployed in tandem with licensed surveyors.

Summit Drone Fleet:

DJI Inspire 2 X5S / X7
Cinematic Power
The quintessential cinematic quadcopter. The DJI Inspire 2 has been industry standard for over a decade with multiple camera payloads and lenses available all recorded via SSD.
​
Record in 12 Bit CinemaDNG RAW or Apple ProRes RAW. Equipped with a full Micro 4/3 Sensor on the X5s or a Super35mm on the X7. When it comes to the Inspire 2. colour quality, resolution and dynamic range are unbeaten.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic
Utility and Function
The Mavic 3 Classic is prized for quality and practicality. With a Hasselblad designed camera sensor its capable of 5.1K 30fps DNG video and 20 Megapixel Still Photography. ​Capable of more than just video and images, the Mavic 3 can produce 360 degree images, timelapse video and panoramas. Compact, and light it boasts a 45 Minute flight time in ideal conditions along with a variable aperture from f/2.8 - f/11.

DJI FPV + GoPro 10 Black
A New Perspective
If conventional and standard aren't your style, look no further than this killer combination. Capturing dynamic action, and quality can be hard but the DJI FPV's top speed of 140km/h and handling can provide a unique visual to any project. The main body records in 4K 30fps however lacks in sensor size and quality. When paired with the GoPro Hero 10 Black, those worries are left in the dust.


"We were very pleased to work with Quentin on our recent drone-view video. He was extremely professional: the fact that he is licensed gave us extra confidence that the product would be delivered accurately and on time. I do not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. We asked for some specialized editing and video touch ups which were quickly done with commendable skill.
He went above and beyond (no pun intended). "

Disclaimer:
While Summit Aerial Drone Services is capable of Aerial Data Collection, our services are not survey grade. If accurate measurements are required, our collected data can be used in tandem with a licensed surveyor but are not designed to be the sole resource used.
This is not unique to Summit Aerials as all aerial media service providers in this industry can not certify their deliverables without a licensed surveyor on staff, in any province. Additionally we can not accurately overlay property lines on a property for the reasons stated above. To learn more, visit Professional Surveyor's Canada.
