Who it is for

Pick your industry. Each page says what you save.

Also: heavy civil, roofing, solar, mining, property management.

How it works

No pilots to hire, no hardware to buy, no paperwork to learn.

You describe the site and what you need to see or measure. Lensdrone scopes it, clears the airspace, flies it, and delivers the files into the tools your team already uses. Ben flies where he can and dispatches a vetted, licensed, insured operator elsewhere in Canada. One company, one invoice, one operator of record.

Why a licensed operator matters

Anyone can buy a drone. That is the problem.

Commercial drone flight in Canada is regulated. Controlled airspace, flight near people, flight over roads and structures all need the Advanced RPAS certificate and, often, a NAV CANADA authorisation or an SFOC. An uncertified flight on your site is your liability as much as the operator's, and imagery from it is a weak record if it is ever questioned.

Lensdrone holds the certificate, carries commercial insurance, requests the authorisations, and keeps the logs. That is the minimum. The rest is ten years of knowing what a project manager, an engineer or a property manager actually needs from the data.

In practice

What it looks like on a real job

The view north from level 40 over downtown Vancouver toward the North Shore mountains, captured by drone for Larco Properties

The problem
A 40-storey residential tower at Drake and Richards, not yet built, and a need to show the views at varying heights up the tower.
What we captured
Eight 360 panoramas at the elevation of levels 11 to 40, published as an interactive viewer with a level switcher, compass and labelled streets.
What changed
The view from any floor, in any direction, became a link. Sales and design conversations could start from the real view years before anyone could stand at the window.
