Traditional Survey Methods Are Slowing You Down

We get it. Tight budgets and smaller project sizes can make traditional surveying methods seem like the most “cost-effective” and straightforward choice.

But these methods can quickly turn into your biggest expense, because they’re:

Image

SLOW & INEFFICIENT

It can take between one and three weeks to complete a traditional survey, and that’s if everything goes smoothly.

Image

PHONE TO INACCURACIES

Traditional surveyors typically collect just one data point per 100 square meters, leading to gaps in the data.

Image

LIMITED IN SCOPE

Human crews are limited to accessible areas, leaving hard-to-reach zones unchecked and missing crucial topographical details.

Image

TOO MUCH HASS

The need for repeated visits drives up costs, creates scheduling headaches, and turns the whole process into a logistical nightmare.

Traditional land surveying methods lead to inflated project costs due to unnecessary rework, missed deadlines, and unreliable data.

Meet Fly High

Grounded In Experience, Elevated by Technology

At Fly High, we’ve been in your boots.

Unlike most aerial survey companies, we’ve spent 35 years on the ground in earthwork, excavating, and site preparation/demolition.

So we know the frustration of waiting weeks for a traditional survey crew, only to find the data isn't detailed or reliable enough.

That’s why we’ve built a better way.

By integrating cutting-edge drone technology with hands-on industry experience, we deliver high-resolution and high-accuracy survey data within days.

Rooted in North Texas, we’re passionate about supporting the local community.

Our solutions are tailored, affordable, and designed specifically for small to mid-sized construction companies, helping you avoid rework and unnecessary costs.

The Cost of

Inaccurate Surveys

Image

MISSED DEADLINES

Inaccurate surveys lead to poor planning, costly rework, and project delays that can stretch for weeks or even months.

Image

COMPLIANCE ISSUES

Failing to identify site-specific challenges can lead to violations, fines, and legal battles that bring your project to a screeching halt.

Image

DAMAGED REPUTATION

Surveying errors in the early stages can snowball into bigger problems, costing you credibility and making it harder to win future bids.

Image

WASTED RESOURCES

Inaccurate data means wasted time, labor, and materials. Overestimated quantities, extra manpower, and rework can all drain your budget significantly.

Image

BLIND SPOTS

Without accurate, real-time monitoring, you're left one step behind. This means on-site changes can spiral into major setbacks before you even have a chance to address them.

Avoid Costly Reworks
