Reduce time and cost spent without sacrificing quality, with drone surveying and mapping across Wairarapa and Wellington
At Tomlinson and Carruthers Surveyors we offer accurate drone surveying for clients across Wairarapa and Wellington as part of our range of land surveying services. Our drone pilot is certified by the Civil Aviation Authority, ensuring that all our operations comply with the necessary regulations. This means you can trust us to handle your projects with the utmost professionalism and safety, knowing that we have the necessary approvals to fly and conduct surveys.

Drone surveying is an efficient and cost effective way to keep on top of land and developments
Using a drone for surveying offers a faster and more cost-effective option, especially for large areas. With our drone, for example, we can survey a 50-hectare farm in just three hours instead of the three days it would take using traditional methods.
Our drones' real-time data collection capability also allows immediate access to information, facilitating quicker analysis and decision-making. We have ongoing projects which we map weekly (or more) if required. This allows continuous progress monitoring by both the contractor and the client in a way that is cost-efficient and reliable. Clients whom are not local, find the data very useful and are using it effectively in a number of ways.
Safely access difficult terrain
Navigating difficult terrains is no longer a challenge with drone surveying, which given the often tricky terrain of the Wairarapa and Wellington regions brings significant advantages.
Whether it's steep slopes, or remote locations, our drones can access areas where traditional surveying equipment might struggle. This capability not only saves time but also enhances safety by reducing the need for our team to work in potentially hazardous environments.
Drones help you see every detail with enhanced topographical mapping
From drone imagery, we can create detailed 3D models and topographic maps that are invaluable for visualisation, planning, and design processes in land development projects. We utilise cutting-edge technology and 12d Model surveying/engineering software to process and present this data in a clear, concise, and professional manner, tailored to your specific requirements.
By capturing land levels and contours with precision, our surveys provide architects, engineers, and planners with the detailed data they need to make informed decisions. Final plans can be presented either on paper or in electronic format depending on your preferences.
Frequently asked questions
Drone surveying is ideal for large-scale projects like land development, infrastructure planning, environmental monitoring, construction site assessments, and agriculture. It can be used for tasks to create 3D models, volumetric measurements, and terrain mapping.
Drone surveying can achieve high levels of accuracy, often within a few centimetres. When paired with advanced GPS and photogrammetry software, drones can deliver precise measurements suitable for various types of land surveying projects, including topographical mapping and construction site monitoring.
Yes, weather can impact drone operations. High winds, heavy rain, and fog can reduce the accuracy of the data collected or make flying unsafe. We always try to schedule drone flights during optimal weather conditions to ensure the best results.
