What We Do


We go beyond basic data. At Altus Air Northwest, we transform complex site data into easy-to-understand visual intelligence. Our Insight Reports are built for decision-makers and designed to cut through the noise.

    • The Problem: Your listing is getting lost in the noise. Ground-level photos can’t capture the scale of a commercial asset, and static maps fail to show what investors actually care about: proximity to highways, traffic flow, and neighborhood potential. Out-of-market buyers scroll past your listing because they can't visualize the opportunity.

    • The Solution: We create high-impact visual assets that turn a static address into a compelling investment story. Using 4K cinematic video and comprehensive aerial imagery, we highlight the invisible value drivers—showing exactly how the property connects to the surrounding market. We don't just take pictures; we build the visual context that gets the phone to ring.

    • The Problem: "Time kills deals," but uncertainty kills budgets. Relying on year-old satellite data or grainy county tax maps leaves you blind to real risks—like encroachments, roof degradation, or illegal dumping—until you've already spent thousands on travel and legal fees.

    • The Solution: We accelerate your feasibility phase with a comprehensive Property Intelligence Report. Instead of a messy folder of JPEGs, we deliver a cohesive PDF dossier featuring current-state visual orthomosaics with parcel boundary overlays and "Safety Zoom" inspections of key structures. We give you the current visual data you need to kill bad deals fast or move forward with confidence—without ever leaving your desk.

    • The Problem: Traditional manual inspections are the bottleneck of your workflow. Sending personnel onto damaged roofs or up utility towers creates unnecessary liability, high equipment costs, and logistical delays. Worse, the resulting data is often a disorganized mess of photos that obscures the real issues rather than clarifying them.

    • The Solution: We transform complex field data into clear, actionable Insight Reports. We go beyond raw numbers to provide easy-to-understand visual intelligence that specifically highlights critical damage and identifies potential risks. By organizing the data into a clear narrative, we help you proactively address challenges and make informed decisions that save time and resources—without the guesswork.

    • The Problem: You are forced to make critical logistics decisions based on 6-month-old satellite imagery or abstract 2D drawings that don’t reflect current site conditions. It is difficult to plan laydown yards, verify access routes, or coordinate subcontractors when your reference map doesn’t match the ground reality. This gap leads to inefficient layouts and avoidable miscommunication between the field and the office.

    • The Solution: We bridge the gap by creating high-resolution Visual Site Maps & 3D Models that reflect the site as it stands today. Our rapid-turnaround orthomosaics allow you to virtually walk the job site, verify logistics, and share a "Digital Twin" with stakeholders instantly. You get a clear, current visual reference to optimize site flow and keep your team aligned—without the wait or cost of a full engineering survey.

    • The Problem: On a complex job site, schedule slippage often happens silently until it’s too late to recover. If you aren't physically walking the site every single day, you miss critical details—and when disputes arise about who was where or when materials arrived, it often becomes a frustrating game of "he said, she said" without evidence to back you up.

    • The Solution: We implement a Recurring Flight Schedule—weekly or bi-weekly—that flies the exact same GPS path every time. This creates an automated "Visual Timeline" of your project, allowing you to scroll back and see exactly how the site looked on any specific date. You get a consistent, undeniable record that keeps subcontractors accountable, updates stakeholders instantly, and protects you against delay claims at closeout.

How We Do It


We take the complexity out of aerial operations by managing every detail, from strict FAA compliance and flight planning to the final data processing. Our standardized workflow prioritizes reliability and safety, ensuring your project is captured on schedule and reviewed for quality before it ever reaches your inbox. You receive organized, actionable results through a seamless secure portal, backed by our commitment to accuracy and a rapid turnaround.

  • We begin by aligning on your project objectives and defining the precise deliverables required for success. Our team handles all pre-mission logistics, including FAA airspace compliance, hazard assessments, and flight planning, to ensure a safe and efficient operation.

  • We work around your timeline to secure the optimal flight window, actively monitoring weather conditions to prevent unnecessary delays. We value your time, which is why we commit to a reliable service schedule and a standard 48-hour turnaround guarantee for most projects.

  • We move beyond simple file transfers by organizing and refining your data into clear, usable assets. Whether stitching visual maps or editing media, we perform a comprehensive quality control review to ensure every file is sharp, accurate, and ready for immediate use.

  • Your final deliverables are uploaded to a secure client portal for seamless access and sharing with stakeholders. We stand by our work; if we miss a specific deliverable outlined in our scope, we will return to the site and capture it at no additional cost.

"I can't recommend AANW enough. Dustin was communicative and professional every step of the way. He even went above and beyond the scope of work to provide a product that was more complete and comprehensive than I thought I would receive.

"We’ve worked with Dustin at Altus Air NW on documenting reclamation progress at a mine in Nevada, and he has done an outstanding job. His reports are very detailed yet easy to understand, which makes them incredibly useful for our team. Dustin is quick and reliable, consistently delivering on time without sacrificing quality. So far, he has completed two reports for us, and based on the quality of his work, we will be using him for the remainder of the project. Highly recommend his services."
