Drone Services
A Clearer View Of Your Site From The Start.
NorthStar’s drone services help project teams see the full picture before, during, and after work begins.
Used alongside NorthStar’s surveying and engineering expertise, drone technology becomes more than a visual tool. It becomes practical project information your team can use.
More than aerial photos
Aerial imagery can reveal site context that is difficult to see from the ground – access points, drainage patterns, surrounding development, terrain, building orientation, construction progress and potential constraints. From aerial imagery and site documentation to planning support and progress visuals, drone capture gives owners, architects, engineers, contractors, and public agencies a better way to understand existing conditions and communicate what is happening on the ground.
NorthStar uses drone capture to support
- Site planning and feasibility review
- Existing conditions documentation
- Aerial mapping and imagery
- Construction progress documentation
- Large-site review
- Hard-to-access area documentaton
- Licensed Surveyor-signed and stamped work product
- Project marketing andpresentation visuals
Useful before, during and after construction.
Before Design
Aerial capture helps project teams understand the site, surrounding conditions, access, terrain, and visible constraints before design decisions are made.
During Construction
Periodic drone imagery can help document progress, communicate updates, and give remote stakeholders a clearer view of work in place.
After Completion
Final aerial imagery can document completed improvements, support project records, and provide polished visual assets for public communication or future reference.
Connected To The Work That Follows
The value of drone capture is not just what the camera sees. It is how that information is interpreted and used. Because NorthStar’s drone services are connected to our broader surveying and engineering work, clients get more than a flyover. They get visual documentation informed by the realities of site design, permitting, construction, and long-term project use.
