Nobody sets out to document the same building five times.
It happens one reasonable decision at a time. A lender needs areas. A tax consultant needs a breakdown. An insurer needs a valuation basis. A contractor needs as-builts. Each one arrives, measures the same walls, and leaves with a private file nobody else can use.
The cost lands on the person who has to answer for the numbers
Not on the vendors. On you, in the meeting where two documents disagree and nobody can say which one is right.
- You pay for the same building five times
- Diligence, cost segregation, insurance, capital planning and leasing each send their own vendor. Five mobilizations, five invoices, five datasets of the same walls.
- The numbers never agree
- Each vendor measures differently and states nothing about method. When two square-foot figures disagree, someone has to re-measure — usually at the worst moment in the deal.
- The evidence is gone when you need it
- A claim, a dispute or a capital request asks what the property looked like on a specific date. Photos live in phones and inboxes, unlocated and undated.
- Every new question restarts the clock
- A question that could be answered from an existing record instead becomes a new scope, a new schedule and another site visit.
Capture the property once, on purpose, for every decision you can foresee
One planned visit. One structured record with the method and accuracy written on it. Every later service reads from that record instead of re-measuring the building.
- Scoping against your actual decision. We start from the decision you have to make and work backwards to the accuracy and evidence it requires.
- One planned capture of the whole property. Aerial, interior, site and detail capture executed in a single mobilization, scoped for every use you can foresee.
- Registered point cloud in open formats. E57 and LAS/LAZ, inspectable in your own tools with no proprietary viewer required.
- Measured schedules with the method stated. Areas, lengths and counts released with the method, exclusions and accuracy band that produced them.
- An indexed evidence library. Imagery located in space and time, linked to the observations it supports, so any figure can be traced.
- Professional review before release. A reviewer checks every deliverable against the capture record and confirms the accuracy statement it carries.
Verify the method before you spend anything
Every item below is checkable against a manufacturer specification, a published standard, or a document we hand you before work starts.
Equipment and specification
The capture stack is listed publicly with model names and the limitations of each device stated alongside its purpose. Specifications come from the manufacturer and can be checked independently.
- Aerial capture: DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine, with its electronic shutter and consumer GNSS stated as a limitation rather than omitted.
- Interior and selected exterior capture: Matterport Pro3 LiDAR, with exportable spatial data.
- Processing: a dedicated RTX-class workstation for photogrammetry, point-cloud processing and report generation.
- Control and verification: where a scope requires it, ground-control and registration targets, laser distance checks and RTK control are arranged for that engagement and recorded in the capture log.
- Every equipment entry on the capabilities page carries an explicit ownership status, so nothing is implied to be in hand that is not.
Method and quality gates
The procedure is documented per service rather than described in general terms. The same gates run on every engagement.
- Field steps and capture geometry are fixed before mobilization, not decided on site.
- Capture media is duplicated to a second verified copy before any card is erased, using storage arranged for the engagement.
- Processing steps, transformations and edits are recorded so a result can be reproduced.
- A deliverable that cannot be traced back to source capture is rejected internally before release.
- Accuracy band, method and intended use are printed on the deliverable itself, not on a marketing page.
Standards and open formats
Deliverables are produced in documented, portable formats so a qualified professional can inspect the underlying data with their own tools.
- Point clouds delivered as E57 and LAS/LAZ.
- Raster and mapping products delivered as GeoTIFF and GeoPackage.
- Spatial layers readable in QGIS, PostGIS and standard GIS toolchains.
- No deliverable depends on a viewer only we can open.
- Interior LiDAR exports are produced through the Matterport cloud service today; its export fees are passed through at documented cost and named on the invoice.
Accountability
Who is responsible for what is stated in advance, including where our responsibility stops.
- Legal boundary surveys, final tax positions, licensed engineering conclusions, official valuations, thermal diagnoses and legal opinions require qualified professionals. We document; they conclude.
- Deliverables are checked by a reviewer against the capture record before release.
- The published scope price does not move after confirmation.
- Exclusions are printed on the scope in the same type size as the inclusions.
Capture is typically scheduled 2 to 3 weeks out
Standard service area is 60 road miles from base; beyond that, mileage is itemized
Reviewed deliverables follow the visit by 5 to 21 calendar days depending on scope (5 to 14 for single-building scopes)
These are current operating figures, not a promise. Your confirmed scope states the actual dates in writing before anything is scheduled.
Talk it through, or read the whole offer first
A scoping call takes about twenty minutes and ends with the named scope and the exact published price for your property.
Two written commitments. The quoted price is the price for the scope you accept, and if a released deliverable misses the accuracy specification printed on it, we re-capture and re-issue at no charge. Read the terms.
