Machine control, Takeoff and Drone Data Education and News 

Poor site control is the number one problem we see from contractors running GPS machine control. Not bad models or broken equipment. Site control, the first step on every single project. We've seen it cost contractors two weeks of production, turn a correct machine control model on a balanced site into a mysterious site export, and force concrete footings to be redone because the control was rotated 2.8 degrees. Every one of those situations was avoidable.

If you're running a DJI Mavic 3E on a construction site, this is where to start. These training videos cover flight planning, RTK setup, camera settings, and calibration — everything you need to get clean topo data that works with your GPS machine control system.

Drones simplify construction surveying with just a GPS base/rover and a drone. Affordable, reliable data without the complexity.
