01 / PROJECT BRIEF
Yard map, volume register and change report
A yard manager needs to know which pile changed and by how much. We agree on the measurement method first, capture the yard, then deliver a numbered map and a volume estimate for each agreed pile.
Who it’s for Snow contractors, landscape suppliers, gravel yards and aggregate operations.
Volume register
A spreadsheet of estimated cubic metres by pile, with the assumed base surface, exclusions and relevant check information.
Inventory changes
A comparison with the previous accepted capture. We flag areas disturbed during the flight or hidden by equipment.

How we do the work
Test one known pile
Choose a pile with an independent reference quantity. Agree on access, base information, checks and an acceptable tolerance.
Capture a quiet yard
Coordinate flights with loaders and incoming trucks. Record the capture time and any active material movement.
Reconcile before scaling
Review the estimate against the reference. Once the method is suitable, establish repeat visits and consistent pile IDs.
