What I do

Four services, one workflow: capture carefully, process properly, deliver clearly.

Mapping and photogrammetry

Orthomosaics, 3D models, point clouds and relief maps of sites, land and structures.

Inspections

Roofs, gutters, structures and hard-to-reach areas, with an annotated map and defect log.

360 imaging and tours

360-degree photography and virtual tours for properties and sites.

Aerial photography

High-quality stills for marketing, progress records and site documentation.

Built to work with surveyors and construction teams

I supply data that slots into your own survey packages, not a finished product you have to work around.

Survey-grade thinking, applied to every flight

Good drone data is decided long before the drone takes off. This is the process behind each dataset.

Capture planning

Flight height set from the ground sample distance the job needs. Front and side overlap, camera angle and flight direction chosen for the surface being modelled, with nadir and oblique passes for structures and vertical faces.

Ground control and checkpoints

Ground control points tie the model to your coordinate system. Separate checkpoints, never used in processing, test the result independently so the accuracy is measured rather than assumed.

Processing and cleaning

Photogrammetry in WebODM with GCPs tagged by hand. Point clouds are cleaned and subsampled in CloudCompare to the spacing you need, then checked and mapped in QGIS.

Quality assurance

Every dataset ships with its processing report: reprojection error, overlap coverage and checkpoint results. If something falls short of the brief, I tell you before delivery.

Deliverables

GeoTIFF orthomosaics, LAS point clouds, surface models, contours and 3D models. Supplied in the formats and coordinate system your survey software expects.

Honest about accuracy

Drone data without ground control is accurate internally but can sit some distance off in absolute position. On an uncontrolled test site my processing reports show around 2.5 cm horizontal and 4.5 cm vertical relative accuracy. For work that must be positioned precisely, control is added.

Professional background

Over twenty years in operational policing, including command roles. Planning, discipline and accountability are second nature.
