UAV surveying uses aerial data collection to map site conditions and produce usable survey deliverables. The workflow typically includes scope review, flight planning, field collection, processing, and delivery of outputs such as orthomosaics, point clouds, surface models, or CAD and GIS-compatible files. The exact method depends on the site, access, and the information the project needs.
Timing depends on project scope, weather, access, airspace, and the deliverables requested. AMI reviews those factors before scheduling so the timeline reflects the actual job instead of a generic estimate. For urgent work, the best approach is to share the site details and required output as early as possible.
Before collection, the team confirms the site, access, scope, and required deliverables. After collection, the data is processed and organized into the format the project needs, such as maps, models, profiles, or structured datasets. The goal is to hand off information that can be used by engineers, surveyors, contractors, or other professionals.
Cost depends on site size, complexity, access, processing requirements, and the type of deliverables needed. A small verification task and a larger mapping package are not priced the same way. The most reliable way to get a number is to request a quote with the project location, scope, and desired outputs.
Sometimes, but not always. Commercial UAV operations must follow FAA requirements, airspace restrictions, weather conditions, and site-specific safety limits. If a site cannot be flown as planned, AMI can discuss whether another collection method or a combined workflow is more appropriate.
