Credentials
What you need before we step on site.
Whether you're a PM vetting a new vendor or a procurement buyer building a subcontract package, here's everything you'll need. Questions on anything below? Call us directly — we'll get you documentation the same business day.
FAA Part 107 certification
All Latus flights are conducted by FAA Part 107-certified remote pilots. We manage airspace authorizations, LAANC approvals, and any airspace restrictions applicable to your project site — so your team doesn't have to.
Insurance
Commercial general liability and drone-specific aviation liability coverage is provided on a per-flight, per-project basis. A certificate of insurance (COI) naming your entity as an additional insured is available for every project — standard for any project that requires vendor compliance documentation. Recurring annual coverage will be activated once a recurring contract is in place.
Safety & site coordination
We coordinate with your superintendent before every first visit: flight windows, active work zones, exclusion areas, PPE requirements, radio channels, and any crew restrictions. We fly before crew call when possible to minimize disruption. Every pilot carries site-specific emergency contact information.
Data custody & ownership
You own your data — full stop. We host a technical archive during the project (full-resolution orthos, raw imagery, any derived models) and hand off the complete bundle at closeout. No platform lock-in, no ongoing hosting fees, no proprietary format that requires our software to open. Standard deliverables are PDF, GeoTIFF, and JPG.
MSA & subcontracting
We work under a standard Master Services Agreement (MSA) that covers scope, payment terms, data ownership, confidentiality, and insurance requirements. We also work under client-provided subcontracts for contractors whose procurement departments require their own templates. We're set up for ACH payments and standard net-30 terms.
Coverage footprint
Headquartered in Denver, CO — serving Denver and the Colorado Front Range. Capture, processing, and delivery are all coordinated from Denver. Project-based work outside this region is available on request.
Not a surveyor (and why that matters)
We are not licensed surveyors. Latus Report provides visual documentation, indicative quantities, and progress visibility for business conversations — not legal boundary determination, not platting, not construction staking. We work alongside your surveyor, not in place of them. The annotated orthomosaic and the surveyor's as-built are complementary, not competitive.
The surveyor line, in plain terms: we document what the camera and elevation model can see — observed and indicative claims only. Your surveyor's stamps and stakes remain the legal record. We make the weekly conversation between you and the owner clearer, not the boundary determination.
Need a COI for your project file?
We'll issue a certificate naming your entity as additional insured — per flight, per project. Same business day, no back-and-forth.
