What Clarkland delivers.
A high-resolution, georeferenced aerial photograph of your entire site — stitched together from hundreds of individual images into a single, accurate, distortion-corrected map.
Orthomosaics are accurate enough to take reliable measurements directly from the image. They form the foundation of every other output we deliver, and they're updated on whatever schedule suits your project — weekly, fortnightly, or at key construction milestones.
What you get:
- A full-site aerial image with centimetre-level positional accuracy
- Georeferenced files compatible with GIS and CAD platforms
- A timestamped archive of every flight, stored in DroneDeploy
- Shareable links so your whole team can view the latest map from any device
Good for: Progress monitoring, documentation, subcontractor coordination, client updates, insurance records.
Calculating volumes manually takes time and introduces margin for error. From aerial data, we can calculate cut and fill volumes, measure stockpile quantities, and track how earthworks are progressing against the design model — without anyone needing to walk the site.
Compare the current ground surface against your design surface to give an accurate picture of how much material has moved and how much remains.
What you get:
- Cut and fill volume reports compared to design surface
- Stockpile quantity calculations
- Progress tracking across multiple flights over time
- Exportable reports suitable for quantity surveyor review
Good for: Earthworks management, material logistics, progress claims, cost control.
We provide a full suite of aerial mapping and site intelligence outputs — processed and delivered in formats your team can use immediately. All operations are conducted by a CAA Part 102 licensed operator, fully insured for active construction sites.
One of the most powerful things you can do with an accurate aerial map is place your design drawings directly on top of it. Our software allows us to overlay your CAD drawings, site plans, and PDF drawings onto the live orthomosaic — so you can see, at a glance, whether what's been built matches what was planned.
This is fast, visual, and doesn't require a survey team on the ground. It catches alignment issues, boundary discrepancies, and construction errors while there's still time to act.
What you get:
- CAD drawings (DXF, DWG, PDF) overlaid on your aerial map
- Side-by-side visual comparison of design intent vs. actual conditions
- Exportable outputs showing the overlay for reports or client communication
Good for: Design verification, clash detection, subcontractor accountability, sign-off documentation.
A clean, professional, timestamped photo report of your site — These reports are structured, consistent, and repeatable. Every fortnight or every week, you get the same format, from the same angles, so progress is genuinely comparable over time.
These aren't just pretty pictures. They're a systematic visual record that can be shared with clients, used for sign-off, or kept on file for insurance and dispute purposes.
What you get:
- Structured aerial photo report for every flight
- Consistent angles and coverage across the project lifecycle
- Shareable PDF reports suitable for client and stakeholder updates
- Permanent archive accessible via DroneDeploy at any time
Good for: Client reporting, project management, insurance documentation, H&S records, board-level updates.
From the same flight data, we generate dense 3D models and point clouds that give you a full spatial picture of your site — not just a top-down view. These are useful for earthworks planning, structural checking, and understanding how a site sits in relation to its surroundings.
3D models are particularly valuable before earthworks are completed or structures are enclosed — capturing the geometry of what exists before it gets built over.
What you get:
- Full 3D mesh model of the site
- Dense point cloud for detailed spatial analysis
- Digital Surface Model (DSM) showing elevation across the site
- Exportable to CAD and BIM environments
Good for: Earthworks planning, structural reference, client presentations, design coordination.
Simple from start to finish.
Step 1 — We scope the site
A quick conversation to understand your project, its schedule, and what outputs matter most to your team. We'll agree on a flight frequency and deliverable format that works for you.
Step 2 — We fly
All flights are planned and executed under our CAA Part 102 operator's certificate. We handle all airspace coordination and comply fully with New Zealand aviation regulations. You don't need to organise anything on-site beyond a brief safety introduction.
Step 3 — We deliver
Processed outputs are available through DroneDeploy, typically within a few hours of each flight. Maps, models, reports, and data files are shared directly with your team. Shareable links mean anyone on your project can access the latest data from any device.
Step 4 — Your archive grows
Every flight is stored and timestamped. Over the life of your project, you build an irreplaceable record of every stage — from bare earth to completed structure.
