Services

Aerial data to help your team see, measure, and move forward.

Owls Nest Studio maps sites, measures volumes, tracks construction progress, and captures data for survey and engineering firms.

01 / Mapping

Aerial Topo & Mapping

Ground-control photogrammetry of your site: orthomosaic, surface models, and contours for design, planning, and GIS. Operators set and check GNSS-measured ground control, then PPK processing refines the data for centimeter-level accuracy, down to sub-centimeter.
