• Scalable from small areas to multi-acre infrastructure sites

• Integrated with InnovoGeo's engineering design and foundation modeling workflows

Fee Model

Base fees for typical projects are provided below. Due to the significant variability in site conditions and extents, fees and services for InnovoCapture can be provided on a project-specific basis following an initial consultation with InnovoGeo.  A 25% retainer payment is required to initiate services.

• Base Fees

  • Includes up to 1 hour of review of any client-provided project documents

  • Includes mobilization within 2 hours of InnovoGeo’s office location

  • Includes placement and RTK GNSS coordinate collection for up to five ground control points

  • Includes Pix4Dcloud quality report for generated models, including average ground sampling distance (GSD) and model accuracy

  • Includes delivery of all images and video collected

  • For low-height sites or structures where only handheld LiDAR scanner methods are used, Gaussian Splat models will also be generated

  • Estimated Turnaround: 10 business days or less from field data collection

  • Base Fee: $2,000

    • Handheld LiDAR Scanning - for capture area of 5,000 square feet or less

      - $1,000 additional fee for every 5,000 square feet of capture area

    • Drone-based Photogrammetry - for capture area of 2 acres or less

      - $1,000 additional fee for every 2 acres of capture area

• Assumptions and Limitations

  • LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry methods used do not differentiate points as vegetation or bare ground, so surfaces generated include any vegetation present. InnovoGeo recommends the client arrange to have any vegetation present within the capture area mowed or cleared within 1 week of field data collection to minimize vegetation effects.

  • Field data collection is weather dependent, and will be scheduled to minimize weather-related delays.

  • All drone operations conducted as part of InnovoCapture services are subject to compliance with FAA Part 107 regulations. The ability to fly in any given location is dependent on factors including, but not limited to, airspace classification, proximity to airports or heliports, temporary flight restrictions (TFRs), and local or site-specific airspace authorizations. InnovoGeo will perform a regulatory airspace review prior to proposal issuance to confirm the feasibility of drone operations. Where applicable, necessary waivers or authorizations will be requested in advance of scheduling field work.

  • InnovoGeo does not possess authorization to perform drone flights during night or twilight conditions, or to fly directly over people, or occupied vehicles or equipment. Client shall make necessary arrangements to ensure the capture area is clear of people and occupied vehicles or equipment during field data collection.

  • Determination of which field data collection method to be used (handheld LiDAR scanner, drone, or both) will be made by InnovoGeo based on the proposed capture area size, site constraints, availability of GPS and cellular data connectivity, and other site-specific factors.

• Optional Add-on Services

  • Expedited Deliverables (less than 24-hour turnaround) = $500

  • Discounts are available for evaluation of multiple sites or capture areas under a single proposal.
