Volumetric Analysis & Earthwork

Decision-grade cut/fill data for Colorado earthwork contractors, grading operations, and $100M+ construction projects.

Drone Volumetric Analysis Earthwork

Our drone volumetric analysis earthwork workflows deliver cut/fill precision to the cubic yard. We process photogrammetric data into digital elevation models (DEMs) and calculate stockpile volumes, borrow pit quantities, and site-balancing metrics that your estimators can rely on. Drone cut and fill analysis prevents over-ordering and under-billing on Colorado earthwork projects.

Software Workflows

  • ✓ Pix4D → AutoCAD Civil 3D / Bentley: orthomosaic export to AutoCAD with geo-referenced linework
  • ✓ Cut/fill calculations accurate to ±2% verified by on-site ground-truth check
  • ✓ Weekly or bi-weekly volume delta reporting for active sites
  • ✓ Drone stockpile volumetrics for aggregate and material tracking

BIM-ready Point Clouds for Procore Integration

We export BIM-ready point clouds Procore users can ingest directly into their VDC workflow. Deliverables include .las, .e57, and .rcp formats that open in Autodesk Revit, Recap, and Navisworks without conversion headaches. Drone data integration for Procore means your field team uploads orthos and point clouds to the same platform where RFIs and submittals live.

Pre-construction volumetric baseline proved existing site conditions before earthwork began. The data prevented a disputed change order.

As-Built vs Design Drone Verification

For Colorado projects requiring as-built vs design drone verification, we overlay flight-captured point clouds against design surfaces to flag deviations before they become expensive rework. Drone to Revit point clouds enable your VDC team to validate construction accuracy against the original BIM model.
