About

Propeller is a drone surveying and 3D site analytics platform for construction, mining, aggregates, and earthworks. Crews fly drones (often with Propeller's PPK AeroPoints ground control), upload imagery, and get high-precision 3D site maps with measurable surfaces, volumes, and progress comparisons. Integrates with Procore, Autodesk Forma, Trimble, and machine telematics for site oversight.

How teams use it

By audience

Civil Engineering
  • Civil engineers verify as-built grades against design surfaces with sub-5 cm accuracy
  • Site engineers measure stockpile volumes and earthwork quantities directly in the Propeller platform
Construction Management
  • Project managers monitor site progress, haul roads, and active work areas from cloud 3D maps
  • Connects to Procore, Autodesk Build, and Trimble for jobsite documentation
General Contracting
  • GCs run weekly drone flights and compare survey-grade DTMs against design surfaces to track earthwork progress
  • Cut/fill volumes from each flight feed monthly billings and owner progress reports
Surveying/Geomatics
  • Drone surveyors use AeroPoints PPK ground control to deliver survey-grade aerial maps in hours
  • Survey teams ship orthomosaics, contours, and DTM exports to civil designers in CAD-ready formats

By phase

Pre-Construction
  • Pre-mob existing-conditions surveys captured from the air for design verification and quantity estimating
Construction
  • Recurring flights produce as-built surfaces and progress comparisons for earthworks and aggregates
  • Machine telematics overlays show equipment activity against the 3D map
