The ask
Prospective buyer/builder wanting to understand three adjacent lots before committing to a build. Slope, access, treed extents, where a shop or house could actually sit.
How I approached it
Set the base on a local control point and shot GCPs across the three lots. Flew the extent with the Mavic, picked up the GCPs on the way out. Processed in Metashape and exported a simple ortho and DEM package — PDF format since the client didn’t need CAD, just something they could look at and understand.
Deliverables
Ortho and DEM as print-ready PDFs, plus a field photo set including a pano of the lots from ground level. Enough to make a buying decision against.
Outcome
Client got a top-down picture of what they were buying. Siting decisions made off real grade and layout data instead of a walk-through and gut feel.
