At Peregrine Drone Service LLC, we use advanced drone technology to capture detailed aerial imagery and high-precision mapping data that help visualize land, buildings, and projects with remarkable accuracy. Drones have revolutionized modern mapping and surveying, making it faster, safer, and more cost-effective than ever before.

Our state-of-the-art RTK and PPK drones can achieve horizontal accuracy within 1–3 centimeters and vertical accuracy within 3–5 centimeters, delivering near survey-grade precision for a wide range of applications — including construction mapping, 3D modeling, site planning, and real estate visualization.

However, while drone mapping provides exceptional accuracy and efficiency, it’s important to understand that only a licensed land surveyor can legally interpret, verify, and certify mapping data for property boundaries, engineering, or legal use.

The Power of Drone Mapping

Drone mapping uses high-resolution cameras, LiDAR sensors, and advanced GPS systems to capture millions of data points from the air in a single flight. This data is processed into detailed products such as:

• Orthomosaic maps — high-resolution stitched aerial images of your land or site

• 3D models and point clouds — accurate visual representations of terrain and structures

• Elevation and contour maps — valuable for site design, grading, and engineering planning

• Volumetric measurements — ideal for tracking stockpiles or earthwork projects

These deliverables provide valuable insights for construction companies, developers, surveyors, law firms, and real estate professionals. Drone mapping allows teams to visualize and measure large areas quickly — often in a fraction of the time and cost required for traditional ground surveys.

Why a Licensed Surveyor Is Still Required

Even though drone mapping can achieve centimeter-level accuracy, the law distinguishes between data collection and legal surveying. Licensed land surveyors are certified professionals who interpret and validate spatial data according to state and federal standards.

They are the only professionals legally authorized to:

• Establish and confirm property boundaries

• Certify measurements, elevations, and coordinates for legal or engineering purposes

• Produce official plats and survey documents that hold legal weight

Without certification from a licensed surveyor, drone maps and 3D models — no matter how accurate — are considered for informational or visualization purposes only. They cannot be used as legal documents for boundary determinations, land ownership disputes, or construction staking.

Working Together for Maximum Accuracy and Value

At Peregrine Drone Service LLC, we often partner with licensed land surveyors to combine the efficiency of drone mapping with the legal authority of professional surveying.

• Our RTK/PPK drones capture sub-inch accuracy data efficiently and safely.

• Licensed surveyors verify and certify that data according to state standards.

• The result is faster turnaround times, improved precision, and legally defensible results.

This partnership ensures your project benefits from both technical accuracy and regulatory compliance — ideal for construction mapping, infrastructure planning, and land development projects.

Our Commitment to Accuracy and Integrity

While Peregrine Drone Service LLC is not a licensed or certified land surveyor, we take pride in delivering accurate, reliable, and professional aerial data. Our flight operations follow precise control procedures and ground-reference methods to ensure dependable results on every mission.

For projects that require survey-grade certification, we are happy to collaborate directly with your licensed surveyor or engineer — providing detailed imagery and mapping data that complement their certified work.

Together, we deliver the perfect balance of aerial innovation, mapping accuracy, and professional integrity.
