Civil & earthworks

Site overviews, progress capture, quantities or terrain outputs where the required accuracy is agreed first.

Quarries & stockpiles

Repeat site records and volume-oriented workflows when the project specification supports them.

Infrastructure & assets

Visual inspection, condition records and hard-to-reach imagery without unnecessary access equipment.

Environmental work

Current site imagery, repeat monitoring, vegetation context and specialist remote-sensing capture where required.

How the $395 minimum works: it is the minimum final invoice for a booked drone service—not the price of every service. Mapping, progress programs and longer capture work use the package prices above. Regional travel, accommodation, complex airspace, inductions and specialist processing are quoted separately and agreed in writing before the job.

Accreditation & equipment

What we hold, stated exactly

No vague "fully certified" claims. These are the current approvals the work is flown under — see the full qualifications & accreditations page.

CASA operator accreditationCurrent commercial operator accreditation, valid to 6 September 2029.
Registered aircraftDJI Mini 4 Pro, registered with CASA for commercial operation to 6 September 2027.
Standard operating conditionsEvery flight operated within CASA's standard operating conditions, or it is not flown.
Local operator, not a fly-inWe already maintain properties across Tamworth and the New England North West, so we know what the imagery needs to show.
Also available now

Inspections, photos & progress records

These services use compact-drone capture and a straightforward delivery workflow. The job is priced around the site, access, travel and the information you need—not the number of minutes in the air.

Advanced capability

Specialist mapping & remote-sensing services

Tell us the outcome, required accuracy and finished format. The project is then built around the capture method and data needed to deliver it.

RTK & high-accuracy mapping

Higher-accuracy mapping and survey-grade workflows are available where the project requires them, with the control method and deliverable standard agreed before capture.

Thermal & multispectral

Thermal inspections, multispectral capture, NDVI and vegetation analysis for agriculture, environmental, infrastructure and asset work.

LiDAR & point clouds

High-detail terrain, vegetation and asset data for advanced modelling, clearances, earthworks, infrastructure and environmental projects.

3D modelling & volumetrics

Photogrammetry models, stockpile volumes, cut-and-fill analysis and repeat progress datasets scoped to the project requirements.

Seeding & revegetation

Map treatment zones, calculate areas and quantities from selected application rates, monitor establishment, and provide aerial seeding solutions for suitable projects.

GIS & reporting

Georeferenced imagery, layers, maps, point clouds and organised outputs for owners, planners, contractors, managers and advisers.

Built for real property work

What makes P&Z different

We already use aerial imagery to inspect and quote property work. That field experience helps us capture what a contractor, owner or manager actually needs to see.

Outcome firstWe start with what the client needs to achieve, then match the capture, data and finished deliverable to that outcome.
Right method for the jobDifferent projects need different aircraft, sensors, accuracy standards and processing. The method follows the requirement, not the other way around.
We travel for the right jobBased in Tamworth, servicing New England and North West NSW, and quoting projects across regional NSW and beyond. Mobilisation, travel and accommodation are included in the quote and agreed before we commit.
Practical deliveryClear scope, organised files and a straightforward handover built around how the client will actually use the result.

Mapping & measurement

From practical planning maps through to higher-accuracy workflows, the capture and processing method is matched to the accuracy the project requires.

Agriculture & environment

Vegetation, drainage, change detection, seeding and revegetation planning, multispectral analysis and other remote-sensing outputs can be scoped around the decisions the client needs to make.

Flight acceptance

Every flight is checked against the airspace, weather, people, access, visibility, permissions and operating conditions that apply to the site.

Questions

Common questions

What can you inspect with a drone?

Roofs, gutters, sheds, tanks, visible solar panels, drainage, fences and other accessible assets. We provide a practical visual record, not a structural, electrical, building or insurance certification.

Can you provide both photos and video?

Yes. Tell us who will use the result and we can agree on organised stills, short clips, a progress sequence or a simple visual summary.

Do you offer mapping and measurements?

Yes, by project. Approximate operational maps are not cadastral surveying or a legal boundary determination, so we agree the accuracy and deliverable before quoting.

Do you do agricultural and paddock mapping now?

Yes. Paddock and whole-property orthomosaics, farm asset maps, visible weed and problem-area mapping, drainage and water-flow imagery, area and distance measurements, repeat pasture records, seeding and revegetation planning and GIS-ready capture are available now.

How accurate are the measurements?

Accuracy is matched to the purpose of the project. Planning and farm-management work can use approximate measurements, while higher-accuracy, RTK and survey-grade workflows are scoped to the required standard. Legal boundary or cadastral deliverables follow the applicable professional requirements.

Can you do NDVI, multispectral or thermal analysis?

Yes. Thermal, multispectral, NDVI and other specialist remote-sensing projects are available for suitable sites. We confirm the required outputs, sensor requirements and accuracy before quoting.

Can you help plan or deliver seeding and revegetation?

Yes. We can map treatment areas, calculate hectares and quantities from the selected application rate, prepare practical paddock or rehabilitation plans, monitor establishment, and scope aerial seeding solutions for suitable projects.

Are you accredited to fly commercially?

Yes. P&Z holds current CASA operator accreditation for commercial operation to 6 September 2029, and the DJI Mini 4 Pro is registered with CASA for commercial use to 6 September 2027. Every flight is operated within CASA's standard operating conditions.

What does the $395 minimum mean?

It is the minimum final invoice for a booked drone service, not the price of every service. Mapping, progress programs and longer capture work use their published package starting prices. All published prices include GST; site complexity and agreed travel may change the written quote.

Can my agronomist or planner use the files?

Yes. We can supply georeferenced imagery and the flight data so it drops into GIS, farm-management or agronomy software for further planning. Tell us the format your adviser wants before the flight.

Do you travel outside Tamworth?

Yes. We are based in Tamworth and service New England and North West NSW as standard, and we quote projects across regional NSW and beyond. Travel work is priced individually — mobilisation, travel and accommodation appear in the quote and are agreed before we commit, so you see the real cost up front. Tell us where the site is and we will say plainly whether the trip makes sense.

Can every property be flown?

No. Airspace, weather, people, access, visibility and site hazards all matter. If the job cannot be completed within the applicable operating rules, we do not fly it under the basic service.

Will AI inspect the property?

AI may help organise imagery, flag areas for human review and draft a report. A person checks the result, and AI is not used as a substitute for a qualified structural, electrical, surveying or other specialist opinion.

Show us the site and the result you need

Tell us the address, paddock or property size, what you need mapped, and the format your agronomist, planner or software needs. If accuracy matters, say so—we will agree it before quoting.

Add ground photos, a marked screenshot or the areas you need inspected.

Every flight is accepted only after the site and operating conditions are checked. Work outside the New England and North West is quoted individually, with mobilisation, travel and accommodation shown in the quote.

Your details are only used to quote and do the job — see our Privacy Policy.
