Drone Photogrammetry & 3D Mapping in Los Angeles, CA

Survey-grade aerial maps, orthomosaics, and 3D models for construction and civil engineering teams across Los Angeles County and Southern California. Captured by FAA Part 107 licensed and fully insured pilots, processed through DroneDeploy, and delivered in 24 hours.

DroneXposed combines licensed drone operations with industry-leading DroneDeploy processing to deliver accurate, repeatable site data. Whether you’re tracking earthworks, scoping a development, or producing a topographic survey, we capture, process, and deliver outputs your team can put to work the same day.

  • 3D models — point clouds and textured meshes

  • DSM & DTM — digital surface and terrain models

  • Topographic contour maps for design and planning

  • Volume calculations — stockpiles, excavation, earthworks

  • Elevation profiles and cross-sections

  • Progress comparisons — flight-over-flight change tracking

  • Exports in GeoTIFF, OBJ, LAS/LAZ, and DXF — plus shareable DroneDeploy links
