Arch Aerial is a drone services company helping energy and construction operators capture the most of their world.
Accurate, High-Resolution Site Maps for Smarter Construction Planning
At Arch Aerial LLC, we deliver precise, drone-based aerial mapping solutions to support commercial and industrial general contractors (GCs) through every stage of construction. Our orthomosaic imagery, 2D/3D site models, and geospatial data help project teams plan more effectively, monitor progress, and reduce rework.
Using FAA-certified pilots and advanced drone platforms, we generate high-resolution maps and models that integrate seamlessly with your project workflows. Common construction mapping applications include:
Construction-Specific Expertise – We serve commercial and industrial GCs with mapping products built for real-world job sites.
Survey-Grade Accuracy – Our drone mapping delivers high-resolution orthos and data layers tied to real-world coordinates.
Time & Cost Savings – Replace manual surveying for large areas with fast, non-disruptive aerial collection.
Actionable Deliverables – Receive usable formats like GeoTIFFs, point clouds, contour maps, and 3D models.
From pre-bid planning to final grading verification, our aerial construction mapping services help reduce guesswork and improve collaboration. Arch Aerial LLC delivers the aerial data for pre-bid planning you need to build with confidence—on time and on budget.

10,000+ Construction Sites Flown Nationwide for GC’s
Our drone mapping services turn a single flight into survey-ready orthomosaics, 3D site models and topographic data. Arch Aerial flies UAV mapping and drone photogrammetry for general contractors from offices in Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth and the Permian Basin, and deploys nationwide.
Common questions
With ground control points or RTK/PPK positioning, our maps typically reach 1–3 cm horizontal and 2–5 cm vertical accuracy. Without ground control, maps are still high-resolution and to scale, but absolute positioning is less precise. For grading, volumes and as-builts we recommend ground control, and we will tell you the right setup for your project before we fly.
You receive GeoTIFF orthomosaics, digital surface and terrain models, point clouds (LAS/LAZ), contour lines (DXF/SHP) and 3D models. Everything is delivered in your project’s coordinate system, so it opens directly in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, QGIS and most BIM platforms.
Most projects receive a preliminary orthomosaic within 24–48 hours of the flight, with processed deliverables such as contours, volumes and 3D models in 3–5 business days. Rush turnaround is available for time-sensitive work.
No. Drone mapping works alongside your licensed surveyor. We capture large areas quickly and tie our data to your surveyor’s control, while boundary surveys, stamped deliverables and legal descriptions stay with a Registered Professional Land Surveyor.
Our service area covers all of Texas from offices in Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth and the Permian Basin, including Austin and San Antonio, and we deploy crews nationwide for multi-site and out-of-state projects. Every flight is run by an FAA Part 107-certified pilot.
