Aerial data, flown and processed in-house.

01 / CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

Construction Progress Documentation

Monthly or milestone flights on the same flight plan, so owners, architects and PMs see the same view every time. Orthomosaic imagery, a 3D model and a photo set from every flight, shared in a browser viewer.

02 / CONDITION RECORDS

Pre- & Post-Construction Condition Records

A dated record of a route or site before your crews mobilize, and a matching flight after restoration. Built for fiber, utility and public works contractors who need to know what was there first.

03 / IMAGERY, 3D & VOLUMES

Imagery, 3D Site Models & Stockpile Volumes

High-resolution, georeferenced imagery, textured 3D models and point clouds of sites, buildings and corridors, plus stockpile volume estimates for inventory tracking. Delivered as GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ and CSV in the coordinate system your project uses.

04 / SURVEYORS & ENGINEERS

Aerial Data Capture for Licensed Firms

We fly and process imagery and point clouds to your specification and tie them to your control. Your licensed surveyor or engineer directs the work, checks the results and signs any topographic product.

Why Anchorpoint

Built for project teams, not the consumer drone market.

01 · RTK Accuracy

An enterprise mapping drone with RTK network corrections positions imagery with centimeter-level accuracy. Deliverables are referenced to the coordinate system the project calls for: State Plane, UTM, WGS84, or a local grid. When a project needs a stated map accuracy, we check the results against surveyed checkpoints.

02 · Veteran-Owned

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, certified through SBA VetCert. Ten years in the U.S. Navy, FAA Part 107 certified, SAM.gov registered for federal and municipal work.

03 · Direct Owner-Operator

Every flight and every delivery is handled by the same person who planned the mission. No call centers, no handoffs. You talk to the pilot from quote to final data.

04 · Browser-Based Delivery

Final deliverables publish to a private cloud viewer. The client opens a link and measures, marks up, and shares the model from any browser. No GIS license, no plugin, no software to install.

Who We Serve

Pick the discipline. The data serves the problem.

For architects and design teams.

Current site data the day you start schematic design. Existing-conditions capture for renovation and adaptive reuse. Context visuals that hold up in front of a design review board.

Pain Point · 01
Site analysis at schematic phase is running on a ten-year-old topo and whatever Google Earth shows this morning.
Our Response
Current-season orthomosaic imagery and a 3D context model delivered in days, referenced to the project's coordinate system. For design topography, we fly the site for your licensed surveyor.
Pain Point · 02
An adaptive reuse project needs existing-conditions documentation the original drawings never captured.
Our Response
3D textured mesh of the building and grounds, flown from nadir and oblique angles. A measurable, dated record of the envelope, roofscape, and site context before demo begins.
Pain Point · 03
Design review boards and clients want to see the site in context, not just plans and sections.
Our Response
High-resolution aerial imagery plus a 3D model in a shared browser viewer. Drop straight into presentations, permit exhibits, and public hearings without distributing a 2 GB file.

For civil and site engineers.

Aerial imagery and point clouds flown to your specification and tied to your control. Your licensed surveyor or engineer directs the work, checks the results and signs any topographic product.

Full Engineering page
Pain Point · 01
Field crews are booked and an open site would take days to walk.
Our Response
We fly the site to your specification and deliver imagery, a point cloud and the processing report. Your licensee prepares and signs the topographic product.
Pain Point · 02
Field teams are burning hours driving back to site to verify offsets, drainage, and access conditions.
Our Response
A dated, georeferenced orthomosaic and 3D model mean fewer drives back to site. Check access, drainage paths and site conditions from the office.
Pain Point · 03
You want to try drone data without betting a project on it.
Our Response
We fly one site you have already surveyed, at no charge, so your team can compare our data with your own points first.

For general contractors and site developers.

A monthly flight cadence that matches your pay application cycle. Shared visibility for the owner and architect. A dated archive that answers change-order and claims questions before they escalate.

Full Construction page
Pain Point · 01
Pay applications stall while the owner's rep asks what is actually in place.
Our Response
A flight before each billing cycle gives everyone the same dated imagery and 3D model of the site. Less back-and-forth with the owner's rep.
Pain Point · 02
The owner and architect want weekly progress visibility without adding another meeting.
Our Response
Cloud-hosted 3D site model and orthomosaic published after each flight. One link, one shared view, everyone looking at the same site on the same day.
Pain Point · 03
Change orders and claims require documentation nobody had time to collect in real time.
Our Response
A standing flight cadence produces a dated archive of site conditions. When a claim hits, the record is already on file. No reconstructing what was on site six weeks ago.

For property owners and asset managers.

Baseline condition documentation across a portfolio. Dated records that protect you when adjacent construction, utility work, or weather creates a dispute.

Full Commercial Property page
Pain Point · 01
A neighboring construction project, utility dig, or storm causes damage and you have no pre-event record of your property.
Our Response
Baseline condition documentation: a dated 3D model and orthomosaic of the building and grounds, georeferenced. When a dispute arrives, the before-picture is already on file.
Pain Point · 02
Roof and parking lot condition questions come up at every lease turnover and renewal.
Our Response
High-resolution imagery of roofs, lots and grounds, dated and filed, so the move-in and move-out condition is on record. Boundary and setback questions go to a licensed surveyor.
Pain Point · 03
Condition inventory across multiple properties is a scheduling and consistency problem.
Our Response
One operator, one platform, repeated across the portfolio on a schedule you set. Consistent deliverables, consistent format, a single point of contact.

For utilities, corridors, and rights-of-way.

Repeat corridor flights on the same flight plan. Post-event damage capture in a single day. Pre-construction and post-construction route records.

Full Infrastructure page
Pain Point · 01
Erosion, slope movement, and encroachment along the corridor are hard to track between inspection cycles.
Our Response
Repeat corridor flights on the same flight plan give you before-and-after imagery and 3D models, so erosion, slope movement and encroachment show up early.
Pain Point · 02
Post-storm or post-event damage assessment is a windshield survey that takes days.
Our Response
A single flight day covers miles of corridor with RTK-positioned imagery. Dated records, ready for the next planning or funding conversation.
Pain Point · 03
Surface, signage, and ROW documentation through traditional survey is slow and expensive.
Our Response
Orthomosaic at one to two centimeter ground sample distance supports pavement review, signage inventory, and ROW documentation at a fraction of the ground cost.

For cities and counties.

Capital project visibility for council and public packets. GIS-ready basemap deliverables. Supplemental aerial capacity for jurisdictions without an in-house drone program, and SDVOSB-eligible work for set-aside paths.

Full Government page
Pain Point · 01
Council and public communications need clear, current visuals of capital projects in progress.
Our Response
Monthly progress orthomosaics and a shareable 3D site model. Drops straight into a staff report, council packet, or public meeting slide.
Pain Point · 02
The GIS basemap is aging and a full contracted update is not in the budget cycle.
Our Response
Targeted project-area imagery with RTK positioning. GeoTIFF and LAS/LAZ delivered in coordinate systems GIS staff already use. No full-jurisdiction commitment required.
Pain Point · 03
Procurement prefers local, veteran-owned small businesses when eligibility lines up.
Our Response
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, certified through SBA VetCert. NAICS 541370 primary. SAM.gov registered. Based in Pierce County.

For adjusters, attorneys, and risk managers.

Rapid-response documentation of site conditions after an event. Dated 3D capture for disputes over damage or construction defects. Safe aerial access to roofs and hazardous areas.

Full Insurance & Legal page
Pain Point · 01
The claim or dispute hinges on conditions nobody documented before the event.
Our Response
Rapid-response flights capture dated, georeferenced 3D documentation of the site within days of the incident. Measurable, timestamped, and suitable for the claim file.
Pain Point · 02
Damage assessment in hazardous or inaccessible areas puts adjusters and inspectors at risk.
Our Response
Aerial capture covers roofs, collapsed structures, and post-storm debris without putting anyone on a ladder. A 3D model lets the adjuster measure and annotate from the office.
Pain Point · 03
Claim files need objective, dated site records.
Our Response
Deliverables include raw imagery, processed orthomosaics, and classified point clouds, all georeferenced to the project's coordinate system. Flight logs and chain-of-custody documentation available on request.
Capability Demonstrations

Real datasets. Processed and delivered the same way your project would be.

About

Anchorpoint Geospatial

Anchorpoint Geospatial was founded out of ten years of U.S. Navy service and nearly three decades in technology. The company holds an FAA Part 107 certification and operates out of Tacoma, Washington, serving AEC firms, general contractors, and municipal clients nationwide.

Operations run on an enterprise mapping drone with RTK positioning and network corrections, processed in Pix4Dmatic with Pix4D Cloud for client-facing delivery. Every mission runs off a checklist. Every deliverable is referenced to a coordinate system the engineer or surveyor on the receiving end already uses.

Anchorpoint is a member of the Vets2Drones network, a national program connecting veteran drone professionals with training, mentorship, and industry resources. Anchorpoint is SDVOSB certified through SBA VetCert.

Anchorpoint Geospatial is not a licensed land surveying or engineering firm. Work that legally requires a licensed land surveyor or engineer must be performed under one, and we will tell you when a request crosses that line.
