What you get
The exact deliverables, file formats and delivery date are written on your fixed quote.
Not a legal survey. Property boundaries in Ontario are set by an Ontario Land Surveyor. We don’t publish accuracy figures here: tell us what the data is for and the quote says plainly whether our method fits.

What sets the price
Quick answers
Orthomosaic map, 3D site model, stockpile volumes and repeat flights. Hundreds of overlapping photos stitched into one top-down image of the site, delivered as a GeoTIFF and a viewable image. Not a legal survey. The delivery date is written on your quote.
Every job is priced to the site, so you get a fixed quote rather than a rate card: send the address and the job. We check the airspace and reply with a fixed price within 1 business day. Founder Mike Brun holds a Transport Canada Advanced drone pilot certificate; every flight is flown by an Advanced-certified pilot.
What it’s used for
A dated, top-down map of the whole site for site meetings, trades coordination and owner updates.
Volumes for piles and cut/fill areas, flown on your schedule so month-over-month numbers compare.
A current picture of a parcel and its surroundings for planning, marketing and design conversations.
Real aerials
Archive aerials, including a straight-down (nadir) frame like the ones a map is stitched from. A sample orthomosaic is available on request.

Transport Canada Advanced pilot
Founder Mike Brun holds a Transport Canada Advanced drone pilot certificate; every flight is flown by an Advanced-certified pilot.
Our aircraft are registered with Transport Canada. In controlled airspace — around London International (CYXU), for example — we request NAV CANADA authorization through NAV Drone before the flight, and apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) when a job needs one.
Insured, with a certificate of insurance on request.
Whether a flight is safe and legal is always the pilot’s call, under Transport Canada rules. If wind, rain or snow would make a flight unsafe, we move it to the next workable day at no charge.
Ask for a sample of the deliverable you need — an inspection PDF, a land film, a map — before you book.
Saying no to the wrong job is part of doing the right one safely.
No flights beyond visual line of sight
BVLOS work needs a Level 1 Complex pilot certificate and an operator certificate (RPOC) for the company. We fly within sight.
No advertised public events without an SFOC
Transport Canada requires a Special Flight Operations Certificate for any drone at an advertised event.
No legal surveys
Maps, models and lot-line overlays are not surveys. Boundaries in Ontario are set by an Ontario Land Surveyor.
No engineering or insurance opinions
Inspections are visual documentation. A qualified roofer, engineer or adjuster interprets them.
No thermal imaging or crop spraying
Neither is offered at the moment.
Before you book
No. Our maps, 3D models and lot-line overlays are not legal surveys. In Ontario, property boundaries are established by an Ontario Land Surveyor. Our data is for planning, progress, marketing and volume tracking.
It depends on the method, the ground control and the site. We don’t publish a blanket accuracy figure: tell us what the data is for, and the quote says plainly whether our method is a fit.
Orthomosaics as GeoTIFF plus a viewable image, 3D models as OBJ, and volume reports as PDF. Ask on the quote if your software needs something else.
Yes. We fly the same plan on your schedule, so maps and stockpile volumes compare like for like.
Usually, yes. London International (CYXU) is surrounded by controlled airspace, and so are Toronto Pearson and Billy Bishop. Flights there need an Advanced pilot and NAV CANADA authorization through NAV Drone. Some requests are approved automatically; a manual review can take about a week, sometimes two, so we build that into your date. We never promise an approval before NAV CANADA gives it.
No. Beyond-visual-line-of-sight work needs a Level 1 Complex pilot certificate and an operator certificate. We plan large sites as several flights within sight.
