Streamline Earthwork Operations with Smarter Aerial Insights.

Track Progress. Compare to Design. Eliminate Guesswork.

Traditional earthwork tracking relies on outdated surveys, time-consuming site walks, and assumptions that can lead to costly overruns. Our drone-based data, combined with the Propeller Aero platform, delivers accurate, up-to-date topography weekly or bi-weekly, giving your team the visibility it needs to keep projects moving on time and on budget.

Schedule a demo to see how our platform compares to the competition. We can fly our drone at your location, upload your designs, and show you what our platform can do for you in less than 24 hours. In one demo, we found a $18,000 error in the first 5 minutes – what will we see on your project site?

Regular Flights = Real-Time Earthwork Intelligence

Our clients typically schedule drone flights weekly or bi-weekly during the heavy grading phase. With each flight, our system compares the current terrain to your approved grading plan, highlighting:
  • Areas over- or under-excavated
  • Volumes moved since the last flight
  • Cut/fill discrepancies against the design
  • Work completed versus pending
This enables project managers and contractors to course-correct early and optimize resource allocation — reducing rework and idle equipment time.

Cut/Fill Analysis Without the Wait

No more waiting days or weeks for survey updates. Our automated processing pipeline can deliver results within hours of data gathering opertions:
  • Interactive cut/fill heatmaps
  • Volume reports by zone or phase
  • 3D design plan overlays
  • Export-ready deliverables for Civil 3D or Trimble
And because our data is standardized, you can easily compare any two points in time to quantify progress, verify subcontractor performance, or support payment milestones.

Need to verify progress over multiple data sets?  Save your measurement as a Site measurement and add the data sets you need to compare.

Benefits That Go Beyond Mapping

Improve coordination between design, grading, and utility teams:
  • Avoid over-excavation and wasted hauling costs
  • Enhance transparency with stakeholders and owners
  • Stay compliant with permitting and stormwater plans
  • Reduce risk with as-built documentation at every phase
