The Advantages of Drone Mapping for Asphalt and Concrete Contractors

Better Bids, Better Margins

Contractors who leverage drone mapping gain the advantage of precise pre-bid measurements. Instead of rough estimates, you can calculate exact square footage and elevation changes.

Accurate Volume Calculations

With cut/fill reports, AMDS helps you see how much material you’ll need before a shovel hits the ground — and how much was actually moved when the job is done.

Visual Progress Tracking

Orthomosaics and 3D models let you document your work phase by phase, helping validate invoices and showcase finished results to clients.
