Question 1

Can you fly over a coastal or dune-edge site?

Accepted Answer

Usually, with the airspace checked first and the flight planned to stay clear of sensitive habitat rather than over it. Marina's western edge runs into dune systems with real environmental constraints, and a flight plan that ignores them creates a problem rather than a deliverable. We check what applies before we schedule.

Question 2

Do you capture existing ground for a site plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We capture the surface with the drone, or with the scanner where the site is small or obstructed, and the site plan reflects what we measured. For surveyed levels or a boundary, a licensed surveyor does that work and we coordinate with them.

Question 3

We are adding an ADU. What do you need to scan?

Accepted Answer

The main house, the proposed location and everything between them. ADU siting turns on setbacks, separation from the primary dwelling, and where the existing services run: all of which are measurements off the real lot rather than off the assessor's map. One visit covers it.

Question 4

Can you scan an existing slab or foundation we are building on?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is worth doing before the new drawings are finalised. Slabs are rarely where the original plans put them and rarely as flat as assumed. A scan gives your designer and your engineer the real top-of-slab and the real edges, so the addition is drawn against what is on site.

Question 5

How long are you on site for a typical house?

Accepted Answer

A few hours for a single-family home inside and out. Larger or more broken-up buildings take longer, and we tell you the expected time when we quote so you can plan access.
