How accurate are drone stockpile volumes?

Drone volumes are typically within 1 to 2 percent of actual, far more consistent than walking a pile with GPS.

How often should we measure?

Most clients survey monthly or at billing milestones, using the same flight plan for direct comparisons.

Can you calculate cut and fill against a design?

Yes. We compare existing ground to your design surface and report cut, fill, and net volumes by area.
