Professional UAV Survey Services

What Is a UAV Survey?

A UAV survey uses a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with high-resolution cameras, GPS sensors, and sometimes Lidar scanners to collect detailed spatial data. Unlike recreational drones, our commercial-grade UAVs are operated under FAA Part 107 certification and are integrated into traditional land surveying workflows for accuracy, compliance, and consistency.

The data collected is used to generate orthomosaics, 3D models, digital elevation maps, and contour layers that support precise decision-making across a wide range of projects.

Why Choose UAV Surveys?

UAV surveys are ideal for covering large or inaccessible terrain quickly while delivering highly accurate, detailed datasets. Benefits include:

  • Reduced field time and increased efficiency
  • Safer data collection in hazardous or remote areas
  • Scalable for any size project, from small lots to large infrastructure corridors
  • Cost-effective alternative to manned aerial surveys
  • High-resolution outputs that integrate with CAD, GIS, and BIM platforms

At Survey Works, we don’t just fly drones—we combine UAV data with licensed surveyor oversight to ensure legal validity and survey-grade reliability.
