Mapping & geospatial
Accurate, usable spatial data for planning, design and land management: from orthophotos to online GIS platforms.
A good map is a decision made sooner.
Geospatial data is only worth something when it is accurate, current and easy to use. So we do not just hand over files: we build databases, analyses and visualisations that non-GIS specialists can use too.
Our work supports urban planning, environmental management, cadastre and infrastructure projects, from first property registration to road updates in Tirana.
From image to decision
Orthophoto & photogrammetry
Geometrically corrected aerial imagery and terrain models for design.
- High-resolution orthophotos
- DTM / DSM models
- Point clouds and 3D meshes
GIS & spatial analysis
- Geospatial databases
- Analysis for urban planning and environment
- Interactive visualisation for decision-making
Digital cartography
- Thematic maps: transport, energy, tourism, environment
- 2D and 3D models for presentation
- Publishing to online platforms
From the first question to delivery
Sources
What already exists (cadastre, maps, imagery) and what must be newly surveyed.
Capture
Drone flights, field measurements and digitising.
Data model
Layers, attributes and rules, so the database stays clean over time.
Publishing
Maps, reports or an online platform, depending on who will use it.

Frequently asked questions
Which formats do you deliver?
Whatever your team uses: vector layers (e.g. Shapefile, GeoPackage, DXF), rasters (GeoTIFF) and point clouds (LAS/LAZ). We agree this at the start.
Can we view the data without GIS software?
Yes. We publish them to an online map that opens in the browser, with the layers and information you need.
