Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Dijon

Free quote — surveying & photogrammetry in Dijon

Around Dijon, land consolidation, development zones and infrastructure call for up-to-date surveys: the drone covers dozens of hectares per flight and delivers DTMs, contour lines and volumes with fully traceable accuracy. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Dijon: site access, the department's airspace context (21) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.

Demand rests on heritage (the ducal palace, glazed-tile roofs, the Cité de la gastronomie et du vin) and above all on wine: the Route des Grands Crus starts at the city gates, and estates from Gevrey-Chambertin to Nuits-Saint-Georges buy plot mapping, frost monitoring and brand imagery all year round. Dijon's sky has become simpler since the former Dijon-Longvic base closed to commercial traffic, but the airfield remains with light and residual military activity south-east of the city: a check on the Géoportail drone map is required before every mission.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

What accuracy can a drone survey achieve in Dijon?

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 a drone survey replace a chartered surveyor?

No for legally binding documents (boundary demarcation, land division): that is the chartered surveyor's legal monopoly. Yes for technical studies: our deliverables feed directly into civil works design, volume calculations and environmental studies.
