PalperDrone
01
Progress photos and video
Aerial images of every phase, to document the state of the site and share it with your team or your client. Repeated at regular intervals, they let you compare how things are changing.
Inspection, construction and mapping
Construction inspection and mapping with a drone in Girona and Barcelona
Document and measure your construction site or your land from the air, without having to reach every point. I'm a drone pilot with over 6 years of experience.
What a drone brings to construction monitoring
From the air you can see the state of a construction site, a roof or a structure without physically reaching every point. I do aerial photography and video, 3D models, orthomosaics and measurements on the image, as well as mapping and photogrammetry of the terrain, all over Catalonia, based in Girona.

Examples of drone inspection and measurements
What you get from construction monitoring
02
3D model and orthomosaic
A complete view of the plot or the structure, so you can understand the whole thing at a glance. It lets you check hard-to-reach areas without going there.
03
Measurements on the image
Areas and distances measured on the aerial image, as in the warehouse video. You avoid measuring on foot and save on travel.
Mapping and photogrammetry with a drone
Photogrammetry turns the drone's aerial photos into maps and models of the terrain. It's used on construction sites, quarries and land that needs measuring without walking every point.
01
Orthomosaic and 3D model
An aerial image to scale and a three-dimensional model of the terrain or the building. It's the basis for measurements and maps.
02
Digital surface model (DSM)
The relief with everything that sits above the ground, such as vegetation, buildings or stockpiles. It shows the surface just as it is.
03
Digital terrain model (DTM)
The bare ground, without what's on top of it. It's the reference for studying the relief and planning earthworks.
04
Contour lines
The relief drawn as lines of equal height, generated from the drone's photos. You see the high areas, the low areas and the slopes at a glance.
05
Volume calculation
Measuring stockpiles, excavations and earthworks from the terrain model. Repeated on several dates, it shows how much has changed.
06
Measurements
Distances and areas measured directly on the map, without having to walk the land.
How I work
- We talkYou tell me about the site or land and what you need.
- I plan the flightI check the area, the regulations and the points to document.
- I come to the siteI capture photos and video, and the data for models and maps.
- I deliver itImages, models, maps and measurements ready to use.

- Travel
- One-off or regular monitoring
I work all over Catalonia
I'm based in Girona and I travel all over Catalonia, with no limit on distance.

Construction inspection and drone mapping: frequently asked questions
What is a drone inspection of a construction site good for?
It lets you see the state of the site, the roofs or the structures from the air, document progress and spot issues without having to physically reach every point.
What do I receive after the flight?
Progress photos and video and, depending on what you need, a 3D model, an orthomosaic and measurements on the image. We agree it before I start.
How often is the monitoring done?
You choose based on the site: a one-off visit, or regular ones (weekly, fortnightly or monthly). We agree it in the quote.
What is drone photogrammetry?
It's a technique that uses overlapping aerial photos to generate maps and 3D models of the terrain, so you can take measurements from them.
What's the difference between a DSM and a DTM?
The DSM (digital surface model) includes everything above the ground, such as vegetation or buildings. The DTM (digital terrain model) shows only the terrain itself. Depending on the project, I deliver one, the other or both.
What is volume calculation used for?
To measure stockpiles, excavations or earthworks from the terrain model.
How accurate are the measurements and maps?
It depends on the terrain, the method and the control points. I'll explain what accuracy you can expect in your case before I start, and I don't promise figures without knowing the job.
How much does a drone inspection or mapping job cost?
It depends on the size of the site or the area, the number of visits and the deliverables. Tell me about the project and I'll send you a fixed quote.
Do you work all over Catalonia?
Yes, I work all over Catalonia, based in Girona. If it's outside Catalonia, let's talk.
