Services
Topographic Surveys
We conduct detailed topographic surveys using advanced Leica equipment to create accurate digital terrain models. Our surveys form essential baselines for architectural designs, construction projects, and land development plans. Clients benefit from precise elevation data and feature mapping that meets strict industry standards.
Drone Services
CAA-licensed drone operations provide high-resolution aerial photography and videography for site documentation. Our orthomosaic imaging combines hundreds of georeferenced photos to create detailed site maps. This technology enables efficient monitoring of large areas while maintaining compliance with aviation safety regulations.
3D Modelling
We transform survey data into comprehensive 3D models for project visualisation and planning. Our models support virtual walkthroughs, construction simulations, and landscape impact assessments. This service helps clients understand spatial relationships and potential development challenges before implementation.
Volumetric Calculations
Specialist quarry and stockpile volumetric calculations ensure accurate resource management. Using reflectorless laser scanning and drone-captured data, we provide precise volume measurements for mining, waste management, and construction projects. This service supports operational planning and regulatory reporting requirements.
Visual Impact Assessments
Our ZVI (Zone of Visual Impact) assessments evaluate development effects on landscapes using geospatial data. This service identifies potential visual conflicts early in planning stages, enabling effective mitigation strategies. Clients receive detailed reports with line-of-sight analysis and tonal impact maps.

Report
I hired Rob and the team to survey a sloping garden plot for re-design. They were able to schedule in the work quickly and turned it around within a day, allowing me to get on with my design. Rob was friendly, professional and efficient. I'd definitely recommend them. Thanks guys!
