Prairie Precision Services · Mapping Western Canada
Drone mapping for farmland, gravel pits and construction sites across Manitoba and Western Canada: verified acreage, field boundaries, stockpile volumes and scouting imagery. One flight, georeferenced files your team already opens.
01What we map
Three kinds of work. The same aircraft and the same processing chain; only the deliverable changes, because only the decision changes.
Agriculture
01Our main work. Clean field boundary maps with acreage you can hand to a lender or a neighbour, plus a high-resolution orthomosaic for scouting, drainage and tile conversations.
Aggregate
02Stop sending someone up a stockpile with a tape measure. Fly the pit once and get measured volumes, pit progress and a dated photo record for the reclamation file.
Construction
03A dated aerial record of the site as it actually is: earthworks, laydown, access and drainage. Fly the same site twice and the difference between the surfaces is the quantity.
02How a job runs
No crews to mobilize, no discovery workshops, no portal to learn. We agree the boundary and the price in writing, then fly on the first workable weather day.
Send the location, the acreage and what you need to see. You get a fixed price in writing, with mileage shown separately, not folded into a number later.
Automated grid capture over the boundary we agreed. Most pits, sites and quarter sections take under an hour of flight time. Nobody needs to supervise us unless access requires it.
Photogrammetric reconstruction into a georeferenced orthomosaic, then volumes, surfaces or field boundaries depending on the job. Every file is checked before it leaves.
Direct links in the formats you asked for, plus a plain-language summary of what the data shows. Questions go to the pilot who flew it.
03Deliverables
Every job ships with a georeferenced orthomosaic. The rest follows from what you are actually trying to measure. We quote the layers you need, not a padded package.

04Pricing
Two rate cards and one travel charge. Send the acreage and the location and you get the total before you commit to anything.
Minimum · $3 per acre
$3/acre up to 640 acres · over 640 acres, $2/acre on the whole block
Field boundary maps, verified acreage and a scouting-grade orthomosaic of the land.
A 160-acre field comes to $480. A 640-acre block is $1,280, which is $2 an acre across all of it.

05The operator
Prairie Precision Services is a new operation. We fly, we process, and we have not spent the last decade building a portfolio, so we price like a business that wants your first job rather than one protecting a margin.
What that means for you: a fixed price before the flight, the pilot’s phone number, and deliverables you can check. Judge us on one pit or one quarter.

Farm mapping is $250 minimum at $3 per acre, dropping to $2 per acre on the whole block over 640 acres. Gravel pits and construction sites are $500 for the first 15 acres, then $5 per acre. Mileage from our Manitoba base is its own line on the quote.
Our work is camera-based photogrammetry: orthomosaics, elevation surfaces, volumes, 3D models and field maps. If your job needs LiDAR, thermal or NDVI, tell us in the quote form and we will say plainly whether we can do it.
Ground resolution typically lands between 2 and 5 cm per pixel depending on site size and conditions, and the figure is printed on every file. That is reliable for stockpile volume tracking, progress records and acreage checks. For legal boundary determination or stamped survey work you still need a licensed land surveyor.
A single flight handles a hundred acres comfortably. Bigger blocks, quarters and corridors are flown in several passes and stitched into one georeferenced map. There is no practical acreage limit — large blocks simply cost less per acre and take more flight time.
Usually inside a week. We fly on the first workable weather day, processing takes 24–72 hours, and you get a direct download link plus a plain-language summary.
We are based in Manitoba and travel across Western Canada. Mileage runs from our base to your site at a per-kilometre rate and is shown in the written quote, so the total is agreed before we load the truck.

Location, acreage and what you need to see is enough. Rates are published, so the only variable left is mileage, and that gets quoted, not guessed.
