* Big Pine Consultants LLC is not currently licensed to provide survey services and does not currently employ a licensed surveyor. Although Big Pine can incorporate the use of ground controls into workflows to improve accuracy, the drone services provided by Big Pine Consultants LLC are not “survey grade” and cannot be relied upon for legal, engineering, or surveying. If the data is to be used for these purposes, Big Pine Consultants LLC will contract with a state licensed surveyor to provide data for such uses. Please notify Big Pine Consultants LLC of the planned uses of data when requesting drone services.
