Step 01
Outline the site
This first step picks the data set, which decides what we ask next and how you'll mark the site.
What do you need?
Pick the data set this mission is for.
How big is the structure?
A single-storey roof and a six-storey building with four faces are different jobs. This is the one thing that changes the price.
Standard — a commercial or industrial structure, up to about three storeys.
How many?
How fine should the capture be?
Ground sample distance is the size of one pixel on the ground — the finer it is, the lower and slower we fly, and the more of both the job takes.
Ground control points?
GCPs are surveyed targets on the ground that tie the deliverable to real-world coordinates, instead of relying on the aircraft's GPS alone. Optional, but it changes the data-capture cost.
Processed, or raw data?
Processed is a classified point cloud, bare-earth model and contours, checked against ground control. Raw is the collection handed to your own processor.
Once, or on a schedule?
A site flown repeatedly is cheaper per visit than a site flown once — the control network, the base surface and the report format are built at the start and reused every time after.
A single mission, quoted on its own.
Monthly is what inventory and draw schedules run on. Every two weeks suits a fast-moving build.
Three months is the entry point. Longer terms carry a lower per-visit rate. Either way, the visit count is fixed — no open-ended retainer.
We'll fly on the cadence above until the job is done. The term discount still applies, set by whatever you enter here.
About the array
Four things decide what this takes. Leave anything you're unsure of — we'll settle it when we talk.
Off your interconnection agreement. Solar is quoted by capacity, not by the acre.
Trackers need a known position while we fly. It also tells us how much ground your capacity should cover.
Capacity decides the flying. Module count decides the reading.
With one, findings come back tagged to your own string IDs. Without, they're located on the map.
Where's the site?
We use this to pull live weather, an FAA airspace check, and any active flight restriction for the exact location — the map below marks the precise points relative to it.

Step 02
Schedule
This step sets your capture window — once it's set, we check it against live flyable hours and the weather forecast.
Set your window
Give us the earliest and latest dates that work — we'll lock the exact day once we see the forecast.
Step 03
Review & send
Check what you've told us and where to send the quote. Submitting is a request, not an order — nothing is booked until you've seen a price and signed.
Mission summary
How to reach you
Name and email are required — we'll use them to send your quote and contract, then to confirm the capture date.
Step 04 · Request sent
Mission requested.
Nothing is booked yet. We'll review the site and email you a quote and a contract. A deposit books the date; we then fly the best day inside your window, process everything in house and send the deliverables once they clear QA.
