Input
Drone imagery
Existing captures or flights made against a clear capture checklist.
CAD, orthophoto, and technical handoffs
Drone images in. CAD and orthodata out.
We turn drone captures of roofs, buildings, and assets into usable as-built data. Instead of raw-file chaos, you receive CAD handoffs, orthomosaics, and structured deliverables for documentation, planning, and alignment.
As-built capture instead of raw-image storage
2D, 3D, and orthophoto depending on target system
Manual quality review before handoff
What this page actually sells
Processing
3D + preparation
Photogrammetry, model cleanup, georeferencing, and export preparation.
Result
CAD / orthophoto
Reliable handoffs for as-built records, documentation, and downstream planning.
CAD handoffs
Built for real documentation and CAD workflows
We do not split the offer into artificial industries. We split it by the handoff your team actually needs next.
2D CAD for flat roofs and as-built records
When roof edges, rooftop equipment, penetrations, or project boundaries need to be documented as a clean 2D drawing.
- 2D drawing for planning and coordination
- Useful for tendering, as-built records, and early-stage planning
- Structured handoff instead of unorganized raw imagery
3D CAD for technical coordination
When the existing condition needs to be handed over as usable 3D geometry rather than only a flat representation.
- 3D basis for more complex as-built and planning cases
- Supports technical clarifications and downstream trades
- Viewer handoff can be added for faster approvals
Georeferenced orthomosaic
For teams that need a visually clear, scale-stable 2D base for surveying, coordination, or documentation.
- Georeferenced image base for project coordination
- Useful for SPT-adjacent workflows, as-built reviews, and reporting
- A shared reference layer for multiple stakeholders
Custom exports and target formats
When the project does not fit a standard package but still needs a clean handoff to the next tool or team.
- Export aligned with the downstream workflow
- Handoff instead of a folder dump
- Suitable for custom technical processes
Output tracks
Document the existing state or hand it off directly
The same pipeline can support documentation, technical handoff, or both. The decisive factor is the target output.
Documentation and as-built records
For teams that need to capture the current state of a roof, building, or site cleanly and pass it on internally or externally.
- Orthomosaic as a shared reference
- 2D drawings for as-built capture and coordination
- Viewer or still images for fast communication
- Useful for reports, planning, and approvals
Technical handoff
For cases where the result is not only reviewed but continued in AutoCAD, SketchUp, or downstream technical work.
- 2D or 3D CAD depending on scope
- Clean file structure for delivery
- Orthobased additions when useful
- Aligned with the agreed target system
Process
How a CAD or orthophoto project works
The page should make clear that usable project foundations only emerge after checked processing, not from raw imagery alone.
01
1. Define target system and scope
We clarify whether the project needs a 2D drawing, 3D geometry, an orthomosaic, or a combined handoff.
02
2. Review the dataset and reconstruct
The drone imagery is checked for coverage and suitability before we build the technical basis for export.
03
3. Prepare for documentation or CAD
Depending on the target, we produce orthodata, 2D or 3D geometry, or additional project-specific deliverables.
04
4. Deliver a structured handoff
You receive more than intermediate files. You get an ordered delivery shaped for documentation, coordination, or planning.
Software & deliverables
Typical outputs and deliverables
These are the most requested handoffs when teams need a reliable as-built state or a technical export from drone imagery.
No overclaim: the exact output depends on dataset quality, accuracy requirements, and the agreed downstream process.
AutoCAD
Virto.CAD
SketchUp
Orthomosaic
Viewer
PDF / image exports
2D / 3D CAD
When a drawing or geometry package needs to carry the next step in planning or documentation.
- 2D or 3D drawing depending on scope
- Aligned with the agreed target system
- Clean basis for follow-up planning and clarifications
Orthomosaic and georeference
When a visually clear, scale-stable existing-state layer is needed for overview, coordination, or SPT-adjacent workflows.
- Orthomosaic as a shared image reference
- Georeferencing depending on project needs
- Useful for documentation and alignment
Structured project handoff
When several stakeholders need to understand quickly what was delivered and how it should move forward.
- Clearly named files and folders
- Viewer or still-image additions when helpful
- No unchecked raw data as the end product
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about CAD and orthophoto
Do I automatically receive CAD and an orthomosaic together?
Not automatically. The same core pipeline can produce both, but the handoff is defined upfront according to the target system and project scope.
Is this suitable for as-built records and tendering?
Yes. That is exactly the positioning here: reliable documentation and technical handoff instead of a loose image set.
Is this a replacement for classic surveying?
Not across the board. For many planning, coordination, and as-built cases the handoff is very strong. For the highest accuracy requirements the project still needs a technical fit assessment.
Can custom exports or special target formats be handled as well?
Yes, as long as the dataset and downstream workflow support it. That is one of the key advantages of a managed pipeline with Blender-based conversion instead of a rigid standard output.
