Deliverables

What you receive after the flight

Instead of a photo album, you receive a measurable data product: cleanly captured, checked by a person and exported for your planning workflow.

  1. 01

    Measurable 3D model

    A measurable, georeferenced model of a roof, building or plot – the planning basis for the dense new-build quarters at the Zollhafen and the Heiligkreuz district as much as for a single town house.

    Georeferenced orthophoto

    A true-to-scale aerial image as GeoTIFF, ready for QGIS, site plans and area assessment – with verifiable accuracy.

    Vertical top view of a real textured building model

  3. 03

    Survey and areas in m²

    Roof and plot areas measured precisely – no walk-on, no scaffolding, no aerial work platform – ready to use in your quotes.

Process

How drone surveying in Mainz works

Four steps, one owner: from your request to the checked delivery.

  1. Appointment and clearance

    You tell us about the object and your goal. We check the airspace situation for your address in Mainz, arrange the required clearance or permit and agree a flight date.

  2. On-site flight

    We drive over from Nierstein and fly your roof, building or plot with the drone – documented, safe and without anyone having to climb onto the roof.

  3. Processing and modelling

    From the imagery we build a measurable 3D model, orthophoto, point cloud and survey via photogrammetry – every result is checked by a person for accuracy.

  4. Delivery within 48 hours

    You receive the data in your software's target format – usually within 48 hours, conveniently via platform and viewer link, bundled under one link for multi-object projects in the city centre.

On site in Mainz

Drone surveying with a short drive to Mainz

Our base in Nierstein is only about 15 kilometres upriver from central Mainz – roughly 20 minutes and we are on site with the drone. That proximity makes the difference: we coordinate the appointment, fly your roof, building or plot ourselves and hand over a measurable, georeferenced 3D model. No back-and-forth between a pilot and a separate processing office – the flight and the model come from one source.

Mainz sits in one of the region's most demanding airspaces. Large parts of the city, especially in the north, fall within the control zone of the Wiesbaden-Erbenheim military airfield; add to that the protection radius around the Mainz-Finthen aerodrome (EDFZ) and the university hospital's helicopter pad (Christoph 77). The greater Frankfurt and Wiesbaden areas also shape the airspace structure. In practice, almost every drone flight in Mainz needs clearance or a permit. This is exactly where a locally familiar provider helps: we know the zones, arrange the clearance and handle the paperwork before the drone takes off.

From the dense roofscape in Bretzenheim, Gonsenheim and Hechtsheim, through the large flat roofs of the Hechtsheim commercial park and the Mainz Rhein/Main business park, to new-build and conversion quarters such as the Heiligkreuz district and the Zollhafen – we deliver the geodata that solar installers, architects, developers and property managers actually need for their planning.

Service areas around Mainz

From Nierstein we quickly reach Mainz and the whole of Rheinhessen – the districts on both banks of the Rhine as well as the wine-growing and new-build towns nearby. A selection of the districts and neighbouring towns we fly on site:

Why Voxelia

Why drone surveying instead of a manual walk-through

  1. Faster to a planning basis

    Instead of days of walk-throughs with scaffolding, a single drone flight captures the full geometry in one pass – with the model usually delivered within 48 hours.

  2. Surveying without climbing the roof

    Tightly stacked dormers and hard-to-reach façades in the dense roofscape of Bretzenheim and Gonsenheim are captured from the air – no aerial platform, no scaffolding, no one having to step onto the roof.

  3. Complete, verifiable data

    You get a measurable data product, not a photo album – with dimensions, areas and volumes in formats your software reads directly.

Permits and airspace in Mainz

Voxelia 3D is based in Nierstein, about 15 kilometres upriver from Mainz – the shortest drive to the state capital of all our locations. You have one contact for flight clearance, the survey flight and modelling, instead of coordinating between a pilot and a processing office. Our pilot holds a valid EU remote pilot certificate (drone licence) and knows the Mainz airspace around Erbenheim, Mainz-Finthen and the hospital helicopter pad from practice.

Every model is checked by a person for accuracy before it reaches you. We deliver genuine, measurable 3D models and geodata – not just aerial photos – with export for PV*SOL, AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD and QGIS.

In Mainz almost every drone flight needs clearance or a permit: the north lies within the Wiesbaden-Erbenheim military control zone, and there are protection radii around the Mainz-Finthen aerodrome (EDFZ) and the university hospital helicopter pad (Christoph 77); the greater Frankfurt and Wiesbaden areas also shape the airspace structure. The EU drone regulation applies. For geographical zones and ascent permits in Rhineland-Palatinate the Landesbetrieb Mobilität (LBM) is responsible; for permit-bound operations in the 'specific' category, responsibility passed to the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA) on 1 April 2026. Flights into control zones additionally require clearance from DFS or the military. Our pilot holds a valid EU remote pilot certificate. We check the zone for your address and handle the necessary clearances and permits – one contact for paperwork, flight and model.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about drone surveying in Mainz

What does a drone survey in Mainz cost?
In Mainz the biggest cost driver is often not the size of the object but the clearance lead time: a PV roof in a free zone is calculated differently from a large site at the Zollhafen or in the Heiligkreuz district that sits inside the Erbenheim control zone and needs prior clearance. We don't quote a blanket figure; instead we prepare a concrete fixed-price offer after a short description – including the effort for the clearance. Just send us your request.
Do you come to Mainz for the flight – or do I have to supply the images myself?
Both are possible. From Nierstein it is only about 15 kilometres or 20 minutes to Mainz – we come on site, fly ourselves and deliver the finished model. If you, for example as a surveying or planning office, already have your own drone imagery, simply upload it and we handle only the processing.
Do I need a permit for a drone flight in Mainz – and do you take care of it?
In Mainz almost every flight needs clearance or a permit, because large parts of the city lie in the Erbenheim control zone and protected areas apply around the Mainz-Finthen aerodrome and the hospital helicopter pad. Our pilot holds the EU remote pilot certificate; we check the zone for your address and obtain the required clearance – ascent permits for geographical zones in Rhineland-Palatinate run via the LBM.
How accurate and measurable is the drone survey?
The models are georeferenced and measurable. Especially for the tightly packed inner-city flat roofs and the large riverside conversion sites, clean accuracy matters – the achievable accuracy depends on the object, flight altitude and method, and for the highest demands we use ground control points or an RTK/PPK process. Every dataset is checked by a person for accuracy before delivery.
Which data and formats do I receive?
A measurable 3D model, georeferenced orthophoto, survey in m², point cloud (LAS/LAZ/E57), DXF/DWG, OBJ/GLB, IFC, plus volume and mass calculation and shading analysis. We export precisely for PV*SOL, AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD and QGIS.
How quickly do I get the model after the flight?
Usually within 48 hours of the on-site appointment. You receive the checked data conveniently via our platform and a viewer link – for inner-city multi-object projects we bundle several models under one link. For very large projects we agree the delivery time with you in advance.
