Aerial Surveying & Mapping Applications

Capture high-precision spatial data with faster turnaround times. At Perth Drone Centre, we offer professional aerial surveying and mapping services across Perth and Western Australia using industry-grade drones and RTK-enabled systems. Whether you’re surveying land, mapping a site, or generating CAD-ready outputs, we deliver the accurate data you need

Accurate Drone Surveys With CAD-Ready Outputs

Our aerial surveying workflows are designed to meet the needs of engineers, developers, and planners. Using advanced photogrammetry techniques, RTK drones, and high-resolution imaging, we capture detailed spatial data that supports planning approvals, site development, and asset management.

Every flight is carefully planned using automated waypoint systems to ensure repeatability and precision. We also deploy ground control points (GCPs) for enhanced centimetre-level accuracy across your project site.

Once the data is captured, we process it using specialist software to deliver:

  • Orthomosaic maps

  • 3D point cloud models

  • Digital terrain and surface models

  • Contour lines and topographic data

  • CAD-compatible base plans

  • Feature and asset site plans

  • As constructed” verification documentation

All outputs are geo-referenced and aligned to suit your workflows, whether you’re working in GIS, CAD, or civil design platforms.

We use the very latest in industry leading RPAS technology to provide high precision surveying solutions where accuracy, detail and quality are required.

Automated waypoint flying allows flights to be repeated at any time ensuring accuracy and consistency.

The Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and specialised camera payloads allows us to provide fully geotagged high resolution images of the site being surveyed.

Ground control points are used to ensure centimetre accuracy.

Using photogrammetry software, these high resolution images are merged and processed to create a highly accurate geospatially aligned Orthomosaic Image and Point Cloud Model.

We can extend the value of these highly detailed Orthomosaic Images and Point Cloud models by integrating this information into a CAD protocol, additional services we provide are:

  • Contour line generation
  • CAD base plan preparation
  • Feature site plan preparation
  • Asset capture and documentation
  • Verification of “as constructed” information

Aerial Surveying and Mapping

Our drone mapping services are ideal for capturing large sites or hard-to-access areas. With faster deployment than traditional survey methods, we help reduce field time while improving data accuracy and consistency.

Aerial Survey to CAD Conversion

Need CAD-ready plans from drone data? We bridge the gap between site mapping and design documentation. Our team can convert aerial outputs into clean, layered CAD files for engineers, architects, and asset managers.

3D Point Cloud Modelling

We generate dense point clouds from drone imagery, creating highly accurate 3D representations of your site. These models support volumetric analysis, clash detection, and detailed planning.
