Outcomes That Move Projects Forward

Each engagement produces documentation and analytics your stakeholders can act on.

📋

Compliance-Ready Asset Documentation

Visual and analytical records that satisfy regulatory audits, investor due diligence, and internal reporting.

  • High-resolution orthomosaic imagery
  • Annotated findings report (PDF)
  • Timestamped flight logs on request

Best for: Regulatory filings, insurance claims, investor reporting

📐

Accurate Site Measurement & Volumetrics

Reduce rework and disputes with precise stockpile volumes, cut/fill calculations, and as-built verification.

  • 3D surface models with accuracy specs
  • Volumetric calculations (cut/fill/stockpile)
  • Comparison against design surfaces

Best for: Earthwork verification, material tracking, contractor disputes

📊

Progress Tracking for Faster Approvals

Weekly or milestone-based documentation that keeps stakeholders aligned and approvals moving.

  • Time-series comparison imagery
  • Interactive progress dashboard
  • Executive summary per capture

Best for: Construction draws, owner reporting, remote stakeholders

🔍

Early Defect Detection & Risk Reduction

Identify corrosion, cracks, and structural issues before they escalate into failures or shutdowns.

  • Annotated defect map with severity ratings
  • Thermal overlay analysis (client equipment)
  • Recommended action items

Best for: Facility maintenance, pre-turnaround planning, insurance

⚙️

Automated Reporting & Data Pipelines

Move beyond one-off deliverables. We build repeatable workflows that feed your existing systems.

  • Custom data pipeline setup
  • GIS layer exports (Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML)
  • Dashboard integration (Power BI, Tableau)

Best for: Portfolio owners, recurring inspection programs

☀️

Solar & Thermal Performance Analysis

Pinpoint underperforming panels, hot spots, and maintenance priorities across solar installations.

  • Panel-level anomaly map
  • Defect classification report
  • Maintenance prioritization matrix

Best for: Solar O&M (thermal requires client equipment)

We Work Best With Teams Who Need Outcomes—Not Just Footage

✓ Good Fit

  • Operations, engineering, or asset management teams
  • Projects requiring audit-ready or investor-grade documentation
  • Multi-site or recurring inspection programs
  • Organizations needing data integrated into existing systems
  • Compliance-driven industries (energy, infrastructure, construction)

✗ Not the Right Fit

  • Requests focused solely on finding the lowest bid
  • Basic aerial photography without analytics needs
  • Projects without clear deliverable requirements
  • One-time hobby or personal projects

Specialized Knowledge for Houston's Core Sectors

The CodeAspen Advantage

CodeAspen Studios was founded by Daniyal Nathani, a data engineer with hands-on experience in Houston's oil & gas sector. That background shapes everything we do—combining professional aerial capture with enterprise-level data analytics.

Most drone operators hand you footage. We deliver intelligence. From automated data pipelines to GIS integration and custom dashboards, we understand that aerial data is only valuable when it connects to your existing systems and workflows.

Common Questions

We're based in Houston, Texas and serve the Greater Houston area at no additional travel fee. For projects beyond Houston, we travel throughout Texas and neighboring states—travel logistics are handled case by case.

Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days for processed deliverables including orthomosaics, reports, and 3D models. Rush processing is available. Raw imagery can typically be provided within 24–48 hours of capture.

Yes. We deliver in standard formats including GeoTIFF, Shapefile, GeoJSON, KML, and LAS/LAZ that import directly into GIS platforms, CAD software, and analytics tools. We can also build custom pipelines for automated data integration.

Yes. We manage all required airspace authorizations including LAANC approvals for controlled airspace and FAA waivers when needed.

Yes, we can perform thermal inspections for solar panels, roofing, and equipment monitoring. Thermal inspection requires client-provided thermal imaging equipment or can be arranged for specific projects.

Yes. In addition to our commercial and industrial focus, we provide aerial videography for weddings and real estate photography. Visit our weddings or real estate pages for details.
