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 Construction Cloud, Trimble, and machine telematics for site oversight.
How teams use it
By audience
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
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
