Pinpoint Drone Imagery, LLC

Need Data quickly on your Project?

An Aerial Mapping Service Provider that supports your AEC Project needs!

Our Business Niche

With over a decade of AEC CAD and GIS Civil Design Experience in Land Development, Commercial, Site Development, and Special Projects, have the understanding of providing accurate datasets to our Engineering and Survey Clients.

Proposal Request/Site Planning & Risk Mitigation

Step 1. The Client will supply a KMZ Polygon of flight limits of the managed property. Assessment of the site and potential hazards will be determined along with FAA Airspace requirement above property limits and surrounding area.

Mobilization/UAS Deployment

Step 2. After Signed Proposal, PDI will follow weather forecast and schedule the site visit to complete mapping requested. Ground Control is essential in this step and PDI will coordinate with a field party chief to accurately measure elevations on aerial panels. PDI can work with Client's Survey team or sub to it's Registered Surveyor.

Data Processing/Scrub/Drawing Output

Data will go through a series of processing steps to achieve accurate data output requested by the Client. All information will be added in a Civil 3D Drawing file and validated from points collected by field crew. Data corrections is completed and prepped to be shared via OneDrive/Dropbox.

Quick Delivery

PDI typically starts the processing of data after site visit is completed. Our goal is to have the data imported and defined in a Civil 3D Drawing file within a couple of days max. For 500+ acre jobs, expectation a couple of weeks due to long processing durations. Just know we want to get your data to you ASAP so we can get on the next project!

ABOUT US

FORMED IN 2015 BY MR. RYAN CAUDELL, RPIC, OWNER

Ryan Caudell currently lives in the Greater Houston Area and has a strong background in the Civil Engineering field with hands-on expertise with Civil 3D and GIS platforms. He has built existing and design surfaces over a decade and the skillset to analyze surface data integrity and volumetric calculations.

As the drone technology advanced, Ryan Caudell started pursuing a passion to use this technology and learn software packages for Mapping purposes by achieving highly detailed surface data and high resolution orthoimagery to support Engineering and Survey firms he knows personally. As an organization, we want to support our clients with the data they need rapidly compared to boots on the ground, conventionally.

We want to cut weeks to a few days with data ready to go, put together in a drawing format AEC companies need to begin their detail design efforts.
We would be honored to support you by Mapping your project!

For a Certified Topographic Survey, Ryan Caudell has teamed up with a couple of Registered Surveyors that will manage our directive on behalf of our client and Certify the final surface elevation results.

If we can help, then please reach out to us for a proposal request.
Things to consider;

  • Low Overhead Cost
  • Access to reputable Registered Surveyors
  • Affordable Rates
  • Quick turnaround
  • Civil 3D Drawing file ready to design on
