Aerial data intelligence · Serving the MidwestDecision-grade data. Captured from the air.
Aetheris turns a single flight into records you can decide from — roof moisture surveys, aerial site maps, volumetrics, change detection — georeferenced, measured, and built to hold up when the decision matters. A data partner, not a drone service.

What we do
One flight. The answers a decision needs.
Most sites raise more than one question — and the answers usually live in a phone photo, a memory, or a guess. Aetheris turns a single aerial pass into a record precise enough to build a decision on, whatever the site is.
Roof Moisture
Infrared surveys to ASTM C1153-23 that map trapped water before you re-roof.
Site Intelligence
Progress documentation, as-built mapping, and change detection across the life of a project.
Volumetrics & Earthwork
Cut/fill and stockpile measurement from survey-grade aerial data.
Planning & Decision Data
Terrain, drainage, and condition data that turns a property into a plan — from course management to capital projects.
Rapid Response
Fast aerial deployment for storm damage, emergency assessment, and time-sensitive documentation when a decision can't wait.
Measurements are approximate — for screening, planning, and prioritization, verified against ground control where survey-grade precision is required.
Roof Moisture
Bid it right. Warranty it with proof.
Every tear-off bid and every warranty callback comes down to the same question: how much of this roof is actually wet? Bid it high and you lose the job to someone who guessed lower. Bid it low and you eat the change order. Warranty a roof over saturated insulation and you’ll be back on it in two years on your own dime.
Aetheris flies the entire roof after sunset, when wet insulation gives itself away — it holds the day’s heat longer than the dry field around it, and a radiometric thermal sensor resolves that difference at 640×512. What comes back isn’t a handful of hot-spot photos. It’s a full thermal roof map to ASTM C1153-23: sub-centimeter resolution, RTK-positioned and geo-referenced, delivered CAD-ready so it drops straight into your estimating workflow.
It’s faster than walking 200,000 square feet with a handheld thermal camera, and nobody’s on the roof at night to do it. And when you hand an owner or an adjuster a measured moisture map alongside your bid, you’re not the third contractor with a clipboard — you’re the only one with evidence.
Every deliverable is built around how your business actually works: the formats your estimators use, the detail your PMs need, the documentation your warranty file requires.

Your Report
Site Intelligence
The record that keeps up with the job.
Ground gets moved, work gets covered, schedules slip — and the documentation is usually a phone photo and a memory. Aetheris gives a project a data record instead: an aerial site map at each milestone, earthwork volumes you can bill and verify, and change detection that shows exactly what moved between two dates.
For GCs, facility teams, municipalities, and owners, it’s the difference between remembering what happened on site and proving it — from the same flight that answers everything else.
Volumes and measurements are approximate — for planning and verification, confirmed against ground control where required.
How we’re equipped
Built to a standard you can defend.
Aerial data is only worth as much as its rigor. Every Aetheris flight is positioned with RTK for survey-grade accuracy, flown under FAA Part 107 with night-operations currency, and processed through our own in-house analytics and reporting pipeline — not a black-box third party. Our thermal work follows ASTM C1153-23, and our mapping and volumetrics are RTK-positioned and survey-grade, with ground control applied where the project calls for it. When the data has to hold up — in a bid, a claim, or a capital decision — the methodology behind it is the point.
What you get
Data solutions for every decision.
Every job ships with the right mix — thermal, dimensional, visual — built around the decision you’re making, not a package you don’t need.
Industries Served
One platform. Every aerial workflow.
