# Drone 3D Mapping Gold Coast > Drone 3D mapping and aerial site capture on the Gold Coast for construction and documentation, including photogrammetry, orthomosaics, 3D models and progress imagery. Source: https://www.kybos.au/drone-services/ Last updated: 2026-10-25 Publisher: Kybos (kybos.au), Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern Rivers, Australia --- Gold Coast · Brisbane · Northern Rivers and beyond # Drone services Drone 3D mapping & aerial site capture. Drone mapping, photogrammetry, 3D site models, progress aerials and inspection imagery for construction and property projects across the Gold Coast, South East Queensland and Northern Rivers. **Quick answer** Kybos provides drone mapping and aerial capture, including progress aerials, orthomosaics, photogrammetry models, roof and facade inspection and thermal imaging. A CASA-licensed remote pilot flies them, with $20M public liability, across the Gold Coast, South East Queensland and the Northern Rivers. Airspace is checked before anything is quoted.

Dated progress imagery for clients, investors and marketing. 02 / 05 ### Drone 3D mapping Capture the whole site as usable spatial data. Orthomosaics, photogrammetry models and geo-referenced aerial data for planning, documentation and project context, or browser-based photoreal 3D for visual communication. 03 / 05 ### Photomontage camera positions Fly to the coordinates. Record the parameters. Visualisation teams specify each camera position, height and bearing in advance; the capture parameters are recorded so the render can be matched into the photo in post. 04 / 05 ### Roof and facade inspection Nobody goes up on the roof. Close-range visual capture of roofs, facades and anything else that would otherwise need a scaffold, an EWP or someone on a harness. 05 / 05 ### Aerial thermal inspection Find the problem before it becomes visible. Radiometric thermal imaging locates moisture ingress, insulation defects and overheating components that warrant closer investigation. ## Plan a mapping flight. A 69-lot estate, from our drone capture. Pick an area or draw one, set the height and the overlap, and the flight lines, photos and time in the air follow. Then the drone flies the plan. Loading the 3D Area – Flight lines – Photos – In the air – Batteries – Taken 0 Height 60 m Overlap 75% A planning sketch for a typical mapping drone, not a quote. Real flights are planned for the site, its airspace and CASA’s rules, which set a 120 m height limit. ## Photoreal 3D for visual site context. Gaussian Splatting turns aerial imagery into a photoreal 3D environment you can orbit, explore and share in a browser. It complements traditional mapping outputs when visual context and easy remote viewing matter more than a conventional photogrammetry mesh.

Not every site can be flown. Proximity to an aerodrome, controlled airspace, flight paths and people on the ground all change what’s possible, and some of it changes what’s legal. Send the address. You’ll get a straight answer on whether it can be flown before anything gets quoted. ## Plain answers. 01Do you provide drone 3D mapping on the Gold Coast? Yes. Kybos provides drone 3D mapping and aerial capture across the Gold Coast, South East Queensland and Northern Rivers. Outputs can include orthomosaic imagery, photogrammetry models, aerial 3D models, progress imagery and visual inspection records. 02How is drone data used in construction documentation? Drone capture provides site-wide context, progress documentation and coverage of roofs, façades, large footprints and other areas that are difficult to document from the ground. It can be delivered on its own or combined with terrestrial 3D capture. 03What can be delivered from a drone mapping project? Depending on the scope, deliverables can include orthomosaics, aerial imagery, photogrammetry models, 3D site models and geo-referenced data for documentation, planning and visualisation workflows. 04Can drone mapping be combined with terrestrial 3D scanning? Yes. Aerial capture can be combined with ground-based LiDAR or 3D scanning to document both the wider site and detailed building conditions within the same project workflow. 05Is Kybos licensed to fly commercially? Yes. Operations are conducted by a CASA Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) holder with $20M public liability, subject to site and airspace requirements.
