At New Optic Studio (NOS), we're not just flying drones; we're revolutionizing how aerial surveying contributes to project management and execution. Our drone progress flights offer a suite of advanced capabilities, including interactive 3D models and precise quantifications, setting us apart from average aerial service providers. This approach not only ensures comprehensive project oversight but also enhances the strategic planning capabilities of our clients.

Ensuring Excellence, Beyond Basics.

While our experienced FAA Part 107 certified pilots are a testament to our commitment to safety and compliance, it's just the beginning of what makes our services exceptional. We soar above and beyond this foundational certification to build trust and deliver services that exceed typical expectations. All our aircraft are equipped with the required remote ID beacons now required by the FAA. In addition to the required licensing from the federal aviation administration, NOS Pilots need a minimum of 100 hours of flight time, highlighting their capacity to maneuver around complex situations that often exist on construction sites.

Beyond Standard Drone Footage: Interactive 3D Modeling

One of the standout features of our drone progress flights is the creation of interactive 3D scenes. This capability allows clients to view their project sites from virtually any angle, offering a level of detail that flat images or videos simply cannot match. Clients can manipulate these models, examining various aspects of the project site to assess progress and plan future actions. Take the above example for a spin!

Detailed Quantifications

Another critical advantage we offer is the ability to quantify physical site changes accurately. Our technology calculates cut and fill quantities directly from the drone data, providing essential information for earthwork and construction projects. This not only helps in estimating costs more accurately but also aids in efficient resource allocation and minimizes waste.

Actionable Data You Can Download and Use

All the data and imagery captured during our drone flights are not just for viewing— they are fully actionable. Clients can download this data as a point cloud, which can then be used to create detailed plans or conduct further analysis. This feature is particularly beneficial for engineers, architects, and construction managers who rely on precise data to make informed decisions. NOS also provides “Scan to Plan” and “Scan to BIM” Services, enabling our clients to receive actionable drawings/BIM models from our drone flights.

Conclusion: Setting a New Standard in Drone Surveying

At NOS, we're setting a new standard for what drone progress flights can achieve. By integrating detailed 3D modeling and precise quantifications into our offerings, we provide our clients with more than just a bird's eye view—they get a powerful tool for comprehensive project management and execution. Our commitment to leveraging the latest technologies and maintaining high standards of safety and compliance positions us as a leader in the field of aerial surveying.
