WorksManager Drone

"Now we can quickly process flight data, putting 3D visuals and cut-fill site metrics right in the hands of our foremen and project managers. Bringing that real-time visibility to the field gives us the clarity to make immediate, informed design changes and site decisions."

Joe Zapien | Field technology manager at Markham Contracting.

Benefits

Get a complete, accurate picture of the jobsite

Accuracy

Achieve survey-grade ground control point accuracy through Trimble Siteworks GCP sync and Trimble RTK GNSS drone support with corrections.

A construction surveyor wearing a white hard hat and a high-visibility vest with a "MAX" logo operates a Trimble GNSS receiver and data collector on a dirt construction site.
Workflow

Drone data processing in four simple steps

Verify mission specifications, configure output settings and trigger raw dataset processing, all with the simple four-step wizard:

Step 1 - Setup and upload
Step 2 - Select ground control points (GCPs)
Step 3 - Configure
Step 4 - Review
