Frequently asked questions

Surveying & photogrammetry in Auxerre: what budget should you plan?

Allow €800–3,000 per day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Auxerre, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.

What accuracy can a drone survey achieve in Auxerre?

With GNSS-measured ground control points, the orthophoto and point cloud reach 2–5 cm planimetric accuracy — enough for a preliminary design survey. For legally binding documents we work under a partner chartered surveyor covering Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

Does vegetation interfere with photogrammetric surveys?

Yes: photogrammetry measures the visible surface, so the canopy rather than the ground beneath. For wooded areas, we offer drone LiDAR, which penetrates vegetation and reconstructs the bare terrain.
