Aerial data, flown and processed in-house.

01 / PHOTOGRAMMETRY

Aerial Photogrammetry

High-overlap image capture with RTK-positioned exposures, processed in Pix4Dmatic to produce calibrated point clouds, textured meshes, and digital surface models. Output is georeferenced to NAD83(HARN) Washington South (EPSG:2927) with NAVD88 and GEOID18 where the project calls for it.

02 / CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

Construction Progress Documentation

Recurring flights over active sites to document earthwork, vertical progress, and as-built conditions. Deliverables publish to a shared cloud viewer for the project team. Repeatable mission profiles keep every pass visually and spatially consistent.

03 / VOLUMETRICS

Volumetric Analysis

Stockpile, cut, and fill measurements derived from dense point clouds and DSMs. Flights are planned at controlled altitude and overlap so results are repeatable across pay periods. Reports include base surface references and CSV export.

04 / ORTHOMOSAICS

Orthomosaic Mapping

Georeferenced 2D basemaps for site planning, permitting exhibits, and as-built references. Ground sample distance scales to the project, typically in the one to two centimeter range. Delivered as GeoTIFF with embedded CRS.

Why Anchorpoint

Built for engineering-grade work, not the consumer drone market.

01 · RTK Accuracy

The DJI Mavic 3E with RTK module flies with centimeter-level positioning. Deliverables are referenced to Washington State Plane and NAVD88 / GEOID18, so the data drops cleanly into an engineer's existing survey workflow.

02 · Veteran-Owned

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, certification pending through SBA VetCert. Ten years in the U.S. Navy, FAA Part 107 certified, SAM.gov registration in progress for federal and municipal work.

03 · Direct Owner-Operator

Every flight and every delivery is handled by the same person who planned the mission. No call centers, no handoffs. You talk to the pilot from quote to final data.

Who We Serve

Pick the discipline. The data serves the problem.

For architects and design teams.

Current site data the day you start schematic design. Existing-conditions capture for renovation and adaptive reuse. Context visuals that hold up in front of a design review board.

Pain Point · 01
Site analysis at schematic phase is running on a ten-year-old topo and whatever Google Earth shows this morning.
Our Response
Current-season orthomosaic and digital surface model delivered in days. Referenced to NAD83(HARN) Washington South (EPSG:2927) and NAVD88, so the base sits under Revit or AutoCAD at true elevation.
Pain Point · 02
An adaptive reuse project needs existing-conditions documentation the original drawings never captured.
Our Response
3D textured mesh of the building and grounds, flown from nadir and oblique angles. A measurable, dated record of the envelope, roofscape, and site context before demo begins.
Pain Point · 03
Design review boards and clients want to see the site in context, not just plans and sections.
Our Response
High-resolution aerial imagery plus a 3D model in a shared browser viewer. Drop straight into presentations, permit exhibits, and public hearings without distributing a 2 GB file.

For civil and site engineers.

Fast site data for preliminary design, value engineering, and constructability review. Repeatable flights that feed change detection and as-built verification inside Civil 3D.

Full Engineering page
Pain Point · 01
Preliminary design is waiting on a full ground survey that is weeks out.
Our Response
RTK-referenced photogrammetry delivers a working topographic surface and orthomosaic in a fraction of the time. For stamped deliverables, Anchorpoint can partner with a Washington Licensed Professional Surveyor on the signoff.
Pain Point · 02
Field teams are burning hours driving back to site to verify offsets, drainage, and access conditions.
Our Response
A dated, georeferenced orthomosaic and dense point cloud mean fewer site visits. Pull cross sections, measure offsets, and check conditions from the office.
Pain Point · 03
Design-versus-built comparison is a manual process that nobody has time for.
Our Response
Repeat flights at identical mission parameters produce surfaces you can subtract against your design TIN. Change detection and as-built verification from one data source.

For general contractors and site developers.

A monthly flight cadence that matches your pay application cycle. Shared visibility for the owner and architect. A dated archive that answers change-order and claims questions before they escalate.

Full Construction page
Pain Point · 01
Pay application disputes over stockpile volume and earthwork progress eat directly into margin.
Our Response
Monthly volumetric report tied to a known base surface. Cut, fill, and stockpile quantities measured against a dated, georeferenced record. Less back-and-forth with the owner's rep.
Pain Point · 02
The owner and architect want weekly progress visibility without adding another meeting.
Our Response
Cloud-hosted 3D site model and orthomosaic published after each flight. One link, one shared view, everyone looking at the same site on the same day.
Pain Point · 03
Change orders and claims require documentation nobody had time to collect in real time.
Our Response
A standing flight cadence produces a dated archive of site conditions. When a claim hits, the record is already on file. No reconstructing what was on site six weeks ago.

For property owners and asset managers.

Baseline condition documentation across a portfolio. Dated records that protect you when adjacent construction, utility work, or weather creates a dispute. Current exhibits for boundary and setback conversations.

Full Commercial Property page
Pain Point · 01
A neighboring construction project, utility dig, or storm causes damage and you have no pre-event record of your property.
Our Response
Baseline condition documentation: a dated 3D model and orthomosaic of the building and grounds, georeferenced. When a dispute arrives, the before-picture is already on file.
Pain Point · 02
Boundary, setback, and tenant encroachment questions are hard to resolve without a current exhibit.
Our Response
High-resolution orthomosaic in the same coordinate system the site plans use. A measurable exhibit for the conversation, without scheduling a full ground survey.
Pain Point · 03
Condition inventory across multiple properties is a scheduling and consistency problem.
Our Response
One operator, one platform, repeated across the portfolio on a schedule you set. Consistent deliverables, consistent format, a single point of contact.

For utilities, corridors, and rights-of-way.

Repeat corridor flights for change detection. Post-event damage capture in a single day. Surface documentation at a fraction of traditional survey cost.

Full Infrastructure page
Pain Point · 01
Erosion, slope movement, and encroachment along the corridor are hard to track between inspection cycles.
Our Response
Repeat corridor flights at fixed mission parameters produce surfaces that can be differenced for change detection. Catch movement before it becomes a failure.
Pain Point · 02
Post-storm or post-event damage assessment is a windshield survey that takes days.
Our Response
A single flight day covers miles of corridor at centimeter-scale positioning. Dated imagery and elevation data, ready for the next planning or funding conversation.
Pain Point · 03
Surface, signage, and ROW documentation through traditional survey is slow and expensive.
Our Response
Orthomosaic at one to two centimeter ground sample distance supports pavement review, signage inventory, and ROW documentation at a fraction of the ground cost.

For cities and counties in the Puget Sound.

Capital project visibility for council and public packets. GIS-ready basemap deliverables. Supplemental aerial capacity for jurisdictions without an in-house drone program, and SDVOSB-eligible work for set-aside paths.

Full Government page
Pain Point · 01
Council and public communications need clear, current visuals of capital projects in progress.
Our Response
Monthly progress orthomosaics and a shareable 3D site model. Drops straight into a staff report, council packet, or public meeting slide.
Pain Point · 02
The GIS basemap is aging and a full contracted update is not in the budget cycle.
Our Response
Targeted project-area photogrammetry at survey-grade positioning. GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ, and DSM delivered in coordinate systems GIS staff already use. No full-jurisdiction commitment required.
Pain Point · 03
Procurement prefers local, veteran-owned small businesses when eligibility lines up.
Our Response
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, certification pending through SBA VetCert. NAICS 541370 primary. SAM.gov registration in progress. Based in Pierce County.

For adjusters, attorneys, and risk managers.

Rapid-response documentation of site conditions after an event. Measurable 3D capture for disputes over damage, boundaries, or construction defects. Safe aerial access to roofs and hazardous areas.

Full Insurance & Legal page
Pain Point · 01
The claim or dispute hinges on conditions nobody documented before the event.
Our Response
Rapid-response flights capture dated, georeferenced 3D documentation of the site within days of the incident. Measurable, timestamped, and suitable for the claim file.
Pain Point · 02
Damage assessment in hazardous or inaccessible areas puts adjusters and inspectors at risk.
Our Response
Aerial capture covers roofs, collapsed structures, and post-storm debris without putting anyone on a ladder. A 3D model lets the adjuster measure and annotate from the office.
Pain Point · 03
Litigation support needs objective, defensible spatial evidence.
Our Response
Deliverables include raw imagery, processed orthomosaics, and classified point clouds, all georeferenced to Washington State Plane. Flight logs and chain-of-custody documentation available on request.
