Construction drone software for progress, earthworks and reporting
Fly the site on Monday, upload from the trailer and have an orthomosaic, a surface model and cut and fill numbers by the afternoon. Share one link with the owner, the engineer and the subs, and keep every flight on a timeline for the life of the project.

On the job
Drone mapping software for construction that fits the weekly meeting
Most sites already fly. The bottleneck is what happens after landing: a card full of photos, a desktop that processes overnight, and a PDF of screenshots that is out of date by the next pour. Dronemapping moves that work into the browser, so the map is ready while the flight is still relevant.
-
01
Process in the cloud, open results on any laptop, Mac or tablet
-
02
Measure distances, areas and elevations right on the orthomosaic
-
03
Send a view link instead of a heavy GeoTIFF
Earthworks
Cut and fill against design or a previous survey
On Team and above you compare the current surface model with a design surface or with an earlier flight. The result is a cut and fill map with net volume, drawn over the orthomosaic, and a PDF report for the pay application or the progress meeting.
- Cut, fill and net volume for any boundary you draw
- Elevation profiles along haul roads, pads and ditches
- Contours as DXF and SHP for your civil design software
- 3D textured model (OBJ) and point cloud (LAS, LAZ) for the model review
Tie the surface to your site control with ground control points and checkpoints, and the accuracy report lists the residuals at each checkpoint. Use the same coordinate system as your design so the comparison is like for like.
Progress over time
Weekly progress maps on one timeline
Business adds a progress timeline: every flight of the same site is lined up by date, so you can step through the project week by week. Change detection highlights where the ground or the structure changed between two flights, which makes it quick to confirm what was placed, excavated or stockpiled since the last visit.
-
01
Side-by-side comparison of two flight dates
-
02
Change detection between flights

Stockpile volumes on site from the same data, see stockpile measurement
Owners and subs
One link for everyone who needs to see the site
Owners, architects, lenders and subcontractors open the map, the 3D model and your measurements from a view link in any browser. They need no seat and no software. On Team and above the share page carries your company logo and colours, and comments and annotations let the team mark issues right on the map.
Business adds project roles (admin, editor, viewer) and an audit log of downloads and shares, which helps when a site has many parties and a paper trail matters.
Try it first
Measure an earthworks pad in the demo
The demo includes an earthworks pad on a public elevation surface. Draw a boundary, choose a base plane and read cut, fill and net volume with an elevation profile. It runs in your browser with nothing to install.
Pricing
The plan for a contractor with weekly flights
Most contractors start on Team at $249 per month or $2,490 per year: 15,000 processed images a month, two projects processing in parallel, 10 seats, cut and fill reports, GCPs, contours and the branded share page. Multi-site contractors who want the progress timeline, change detection, roles and the API choose Business at $599 per month or $5,990 per year.
Questions
Construction drone software FAQ
Yes, on Team and above. Upload the design surface for the project and run cut and fill between it and the latest flight, or between two flights.
Outputs use a projected coordinate system picked by EPSG code, including state plane and UTM zones, so exports line up with your CAD and GIS files.
Weekly is common during earthworks, and at key milestones during vertical construction. Keep altitude, overlap and control the same each time so flights compare cleanly.
Yes. View links need no seat. The owner opens the map and the 3D model in a browser, on a phone or a laptop.
Business includes an API and webhooks to upload flights and pull results into your own project tools.
