Orthophoto Mapping for Construction Site Documentation
Orthophoto mapping for commercial construction. Site-wide, same scale, north-up. Standard GeoTIFF format. Useful for site planning, stakeouts, and as-built verification.
Contact UsWhat Is Orthophoto Mapping
Orthophoto mapping is a top-down, scaled, north-up image of the entire site at a single point in time. We use aerial photogrammetry to produce the orthomosaic: hundreds or thousands of overlapping aerial photos are processed into a single, geometrically corrected image.
An orthomosaic is the foundation of construction site planning, stakeouts, and as-built verification. It can be imported into AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, QGIS, Trimble Business Center, and most survey and BIM platforms. The output is a single GeoTIFF file plus supporting metadata.
When to Use Orthophoto Mapping
Site planning: developers and design teams use orthomosaics to plan site work, lay out buildings, and identify site constraints before construction starts.
Stakeouts: surveyors and GCs use orthomosaics as the base layer for stakeouts, with the orthomosaic imported into the project coordinate system for accurate positioning.
As-built verification: surveyors and engineers use orthomosaics to verify as-built conditions against the design, identifying deviations and supporting RFIs.
Progress monitoring add-on: orthomosaics can be added to any weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly progress monitoring visit, producing a continuous record of the site at each cadence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of orthophoto mapping?
Starting at $850 for sites up to 5 acres. Larger sites, multi-day flights, and GCP-heavy projects are quoted based on acreage and accuracy requirements.
How quickly do you deliver?
5-7 business days from the day of flight. Rush delivery (2-3 business days) is available.
What file formats are included?
GeoTIFF orthomosaic, LAS point cloud, registration report. Files drop into AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, QGIS, Trimble Business Center, and most survey and BIM platforms.
