The whole site

One map of the site, every flight

Upload the photos and SkyPLX-9, our mapping engine, stitches the whole site into one orthomosaic you can zoom into. This is a construction site in Costa Mesa, California, from our own account, 1,077 photos in one map.

  • Orthomosaic of the whole site
  • Point cloud, elevation model and 3D model from the same photos
  • Processing cost shown in credits before you start

Progress

See the equipment and the earth move

Fly the same site every week and keep each photo set with the project, so you can show the owner what changed and when.

  • Every visit's photos on the project
  • The same site, week after week

Grades and contours

Contours over the ground you just flew

Turn on contours over the orthomosaic to see how the pad is graded. Zoom in close; the map keeps the detail of the original photos.

  • Contour lines over the orthomosaic
  • Close-up detail from the source photos

Stockpiles

Piles you can measure

Rubble, soil and aggregate piles stand out clearly from the air. Once the map is built, draw around one and read its volume.

  • Stockpiles and laydown areas on camera
  • Volumes measured on the map

Volumes

Stockpile and earthwork volumes

Draw a polygon in the survey viewer and read the volume measurement for the project, alongside distance and area tools.

  • Cut / fill / net readout

Stakeholder portal

Owners and architects see the same view

Share the map and files through one portal link, so owners, architects and project managers look at the same up-to-date site.

  • Portal branding on your plan
  • Granular permissions
  • Comments on the project
The client delivery portal: a baseline survey package with its files, interactive map and invoices, a teammate invite and project comments.

Document the site once, share with everyone.
