LiDAR Data for Surveyors
LiDAR (light detection and ranging) is a remote sensing method that can detect objects and place in real space while accurately measuring the surface of the earth with exact precision. Drones equipped with LiDAR and other instrumentation measure the light’s reflection and range from an object’s surface to an object across millions of beams. That data is electronically compiled with GPS technology and data from the drone’s inertial measurement unit (IMU) to create a digital file called a point cloud. A professional surveyor can then turn this point cloud into a number of different final products including contour files, 3D maps, etc.
Drone Data Benefits
LiDAR Data for Surveyors
Construction Monitoring
By combining traditional methods of data collection with drone data collection, mappers and surveyors can reap a number of benefits.
- Improved Safety. When dangerous terrain has to be measured and mapped, sending teams out to these areas can potentially lead to accidents and injury. Instead, drones can be deployed to scan mountainous areas, icy locations, and areas where wildlife may be a concern, creating a safer environment for your team.
- Speed. Drones can scan acres of land in a fraction of the time it takes to manually survey on the ground, especially in areas of challenging terrain. On average, our teams scan 700 acres per team, per day.
- Reduced Cost. Drones can capture data quickly and safely, automatically reducing costs.
- Enhance the Quality of Data. Drones are constantly scanning and recording thousands of measurements. Combining this data with traditional data collection methods can vastly improve the quality of data.

3D Drone Mapping Benefits for Commercial Real Estate
In today’s commercial property environment, decisions need to be faster, more accurate, and backed by real data. Traditional site visits, manual measurements, and basic aerial photos are no longer enough.
That’s where 3D drone mapping comes in.
At Brown’s Aerial Photography, we provide high-resolution 3D mapping solutions that give property managers, roofing contractors, and developers a complete digital view of their assets - without the risk, guesswork, or wasted time.
What is 3D Drone Mapping?
3D drone mapping uses advanced photogrammetry to capture hundreds of overlapping aerial images and convert them into:
- Accurate 3D models
- Orthomosaic maps (scaled, measurable images)
- Elevation and contour data
- Point clouds for detailed analysis
This isn’t just imagery - it’s actionable data.
Precision Without the Climb
Precise 3D mapping for Accurate Results
Instead of sending crews onto a roof or relying on rough estimates, you get:
- Exact roof square footage
- Pitch and slope calculations
- Height and elevation data
- Material quantity estimates
Why it matters:
More accurate bids. Fewer change orders. Better margins.
Full Property Visuals
Experience Full Property Views in 3D
You can:
- Rotate and zoom any part of the structure
- Inspect hard-to-reach areas
- Present visuals to clients, owners, or investors
Why it matters:
Clear visuals make decisions easier and faster.
Speed Up Your Projects
Fly High, Save Time in Projects
With 3D mapping, you can:
- Perform site evaluations remotely
- Reduce repeat site visits
- Create more competitive, data-backed bids
Why it matters:
You move faster than competitors still relying on manual inspections.
Project Progress & Proof
Capture Every Project Phase with Drone Mapping
This creates:
- Visual timelines of progress
- Proof of completed work
- Documentation for lenders, owners, and insurance
Why it matters:
If there’s ever a dispute, you have hard evidence.
Safe, Precise Drone Inspections
Climbing roofs and inspecting large structures comes with real risk.
3D drone mapping allows inspections to be completed:
- Without walking the roof
- Without ladders or lifts
- Without exposing crews to fall hazards
Why it matters:
Lower liability. Safer operations. Smarter inspections.
Capture Impactful Aerial Shots
Elevate Your Brand with Drone Footage
Use it for:
- Leasing presentations
- Investor reports
- Property listings
- Website visuals
Why it matters:
Better presentation = higher perceived value.
Why Clients Choose High-Res Drone Shots
The shift is simple:
- Less time in the field
- More accurate data
- Better decision-making
- Reduced risk
Companies that adopt this technology early gain a clear competitive advantage.
