03 · 3D surveying & modelling

The drone brings back
more than images.

The same flight that produces your videos also produces measurements. With photogrammetry, every point of your building is captured with its real position and colour: from it we derive a 3D model you can explore, flat façade views, calculated volumes and a dated record of the site. A reference survey has already been carried out on a 92 × 44 × 59 m cliff — 3,959,103 points, March 2025.

The questions we get asked about 3D surveying

In practice, what can I do with a 3D model?

Measure without climbing (façade height, roof area), show a project to a client or a municipality from every angle, give the architect a true picture of the existing state, and keep a dated record before works begin — invaluable in the event of a dispute.

Delivered as OBJ or 3D Tiles (model), LAS or PLY (point cloud), GeoTIFF (orthophoto, surface), DXF or SHP (contour lines), with a 3D viewer in the browser.

Why “from”?

Because no two jobs in the same package are alike. The price shown is for a simple case; a site that is larger or harder to reach, or more deliverables, raise it. Travel is included anywhere in Ticino; large sites and jobs outside Ticino are on quotation. The exact price is written in the quote, before the job: nothing is added unless it appears there.

What is live setting-out? soon

Coming soon, currently being tested. We will survey your points with RTK GPS and place targets on the site. The worker will film a target with their phone: the app will lock on and show the point and level to work to, to within 1–3 cm up to 10 m from a target. Ideal for earthworks; for a slab, the rotating laser is still the reference. After the works, a new flight will compare against the design: too-high / too-low map. It will be included in the 3D terrain, Inspection and Bespoke packages.

Is the live stream included in the inspection?

Optional. In the “Inspection of structures in real time” package (from 550 CHF per half-day on site), the live feed is extra (“Live stream” tier, from 700 CHF): the drone streams its images (720p) to your PC or laptop, and you tell us by phone what to film — an angle, a detail, a zoom. No need to travel.

Is site monitoring paid per pass?

Yes: from 250 CHF per pass, with a minimum of 2 passes. Each pass follows the same flight paths as the previous one and delivers a dated orthomosaic, the map of changes against the previous pass and the calculated volumes. How often we fly is agreed with you, depending on how the site is progressing.

Do you need permission to fly the drone?

We take care of it. Most of our flights are in the open category, with no FOCA authorisation needed. Before every job, we check the map of restricted zones (airfields, hospitals, protected sites) and, when one is needed, we file the exemption request ourselves — allow a few extra days in that case. You have nothing to fill in.

04 · Structural inspection

See what is out of reach.

A bridge, a façade or a pylon can now be inspected without scaffolding, without a cherry picker and without interrupting operations. The 168 mm zoom reads a crack from a distance, with nobody climbing up.

/ BRIDGE

Bridge or viaduct

Structural report, HD photos with 168 mm zoom, 3D model

/ PYLON

Pylon or high-voltage line

168 mm zoom and report, no physical access

/ SITE

Site monitoring

HD photos at regular intervals, 3D model, progress report

/ FAÇADE

Building façade

High definition, 168 mm zoom, report

All inspections on quotation · Report included
05 · Topography & civil engineering

The ground, to the centimetre.

With the D-RTK 3 station, every surveyed point is positioned to the centimetre, without ground control points laid by hand. What used to take a surveyor a day is flown in a few hours.

/ LAND

Topographic survey

Centimetre accuracy, contour lines, DTM and orthomosaic — from under one hectare to 20 ha

/ SLOPE

Slopes and landslides

3D model and volumetric analysis
