How fast can you get out to a site?
Most DFW-area sites can be flown within a few business days of the go-ahead, weather and airspace permitting. Processed deliverables typically follow within a few days of the flight, and rush turnaround is available when you're up against an option-period, pay-app or claim deadline.
Can this replace a licensed land survey?
No — and we'll say so plainly. Drone-derived topography, contours and earthwork estimates are decision-grade data for feasibility, underwriting and internal approvals. Sealed boundary and topographic work for final engineering, platting and recording still requires a licensed surveyor. Use us for the early read that shapes the deal, and bring in the sealed work on the sites worth closing.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. A&G TX Media LLC operates under an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot and carries commercial drone liability insurance. Certificates of insurance and certification can be provided for your project file or jobsite requirements before the first flight.
What accuracy can I expect from your mapping?
Standard GPS-based mapping is well suited to visual documentation, planning and relative measurement. For projects where tighter accuracy matters, we fly an RTK / PPK workflow targeting roughly 1–2 cm relative accuracy. We'll recommend which one your job actually needs rather than defaulting to the more expensive option.
What do I actually receive?
It depends on scope, but typically some combination of: georeferenced orthomosaic site maps, digital surface and terrain models, contour files, cut/fill and volumetric reports, high-resolution stills, edited video, and a written inspection or progress report. Everything is delivered by secure cloud link, organized and labeled by date and area.
Do you handle airspace authorization near DFW airports?
Yes. North Texas is dense with controlled airspace, and airspace authorization, LAANC requests and flight planning are handled as part of the job. If a site can't be legally flown, you'll hear it from us before you're invoiced — not after.
Can you fly the same site on a recurring schedule?
That's a core part of what we do. Recurring construction progress flights are captured from consistent, repeatable vantage points so month-to-month comparison is meaningful. Visits can be aligned with your pay application cutoff, and scheduled monthly, biweekly, or by milestone.
How does pricing work?
Every site is quoted individually based on acreage, deliverables, accuracy requirements, travel and turnaround. Send the parcel and what you need the data to do, and you'll get a clear, itemized quote — usually same or next business day, with no obligation.
