How it Works
Step | Description |
|---|---|
1. Define Your Project Area | Provide site boundaries or an address to generate an accurate flight plan and map extent. |
2. Pre-Flight Planning | We analyze terrain, flight altitude, and image overlap to ensure optimal resolution for mapping and visualization. |
3. Data Capture | Our drones conduct a precise aerial survey, collecting imagery for both technical accuracy and visual impact. |
4. Processing & Cartography | Imagery is processed into orthomosaics and 3D surfaces, then designed into visually rich maps and renderings using GIS tools. |
5. Delivery | Receive a complete visual package—maps, models, and images—digitally formatted for planners, stakeholders, or presentations. |
Step | Description |
|---|---|
1. Consultation | Discuss site, goals, and deliverables. Confirm airspace and location. |
2. Flight Planning | Plan optimal lighting and path for cinematic angles. |
3. Capture | Execute flight with safety checks, collecting video and stills. |
4. Post-Processing | Edit photos/videos, color-correct, and prepare deliverables. |
5. Delivery | Provide download links and optional GIS integration package. |
Pricing
Service | Base Rate | Details |

GIS Connection
Every visual product from Gordon GIS is built on geospatial accuracy.
Using GIS software, imagery is aligned to real-world coordinates, enabling you to:
-
Overlay maps with parcel data, zoning, vegetation indices, or hydrology layers.
-
Generate slope and aspect maps for design and grading insight.
-
Compare imagery over time to track landscape change or project impacts.
-
Export datasets compatible with ArcGIS Pro, AutoCAD, or SketchUp workflows.
It’s not just a photo of the landscape—it’s a data-driven visualization that connects beauty with precision.
