Drone Mapping & Photogrammetry
Some questions about a site are best answered from above. Above The Rest Digital Imaging provides FAA Part 107 licensed drone mapping, photogrammetry, and aerial progress documentation across Central Virginia — turning aerial data into accurate, usable information for planning, analysis, and decision-making.
Why Drone Mapping
Traditional site data collection can be slow, expensive, and limited by ground-level access. Drone mapping and progress photography capture accurate, detailed data quickly and safely — giving you the visual and spatial information you need without the cost or delay of conventional methods.
What We Offer
-
Construction & Project Progress Photography — recurring aerial photo and video documentation (typically monthly) to track a site's progress over time. This is often exactly what banks, investors, property management groups, and developers need for lending requirements, investor updates, or monthly progress meetings — no mapping or modeling required, just clear, consistent visual records.
-
Terrain & Site Mapping — detailed aerial data capture for planning, development, and analysis
-
3D Modeling & Photogrammetry — accurate digital models built from high-resolution aerial imagery, when measurement or spatial data is needed
-
Data Integration — compatible with industry leading tools including DroneDeploy and Pix4D
Not Sure Which You Need?
If you just want a clear visual record of how a project is progressing — the kind of documentation banks, investors, and developers often request for monthly reporting — that's progress photography, and it doesn't require mapping or modeling. If you need accurate measurements, terrain data, or a 3D model of a site, that's where photogrammetry and mapping come in. Many clients only need the former; we're happy to help you figure out which fits your project.
