Frequently asked questions

Is DroneDeploy the right fit
 for your operations?

Is this only for general contractors?

No – it’s built for the entire project ecosystem. While GCs use it for site-wide oversight, civil contractors use DroneDeploy to track earthworks progress, document underground utility as-builts, and ensure design intent matches reality.

What if I don't have licensed pilots or my own drones?

You don't need them. With DroneDeploy’s Data on Demand team, you can simply request a flight and a professional, certified pilot will handle the capture for you.

You get survey-grade maps and 3D models delivered directly to your account without ever having to touch a controller or manage a fleet.

How does this fit with our existing tools (Procore, Autodesk Forma, BI)?

DroneDeploy acts as the visual layer. Maps, 360 photos and issues can be linked into your CDE, GIS and reporting tools so project teams, executives and auditors are all pointing at the same record.

Can DroneDeploy meet our security and compliance requirements?

Yes. Customers use DroneDeploy as a central platform for flight operations and data because it offers encrypted data at rest and in transit, role‑based permissions, and enterprise‑grade controls including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

Is this only for massive, multi-year projects?

It’s for any project where margin protection matters. Whether it's a new interchange or site work for a data center, if a $50k rework error or a single insurance claim would hurt your bottom line, DroneDeploy acts as your operational insurance policy.

Can I really trust this data for earthworks and grading?

If you're currently relying on "eye-balling" stockpiles or waiting a week for a surveyor, you're losing money. DroneDeploy provides the sub-centimeter accuracy needed to verify cut/fill in real-time, ensuring you never pay for more haul-off than you actually moved.

How does this help if I'm never on the jobsite?

This is built specifically for executive oversight. If you’re managing a portfolio of 10+ projects from a regional office, DroneDeploy gives you "eyes on site" in 4K. You can spot safety risks or schedule slips across every jobsite without ever leaving your desk.
