Technical subcontracting
Your firm contracts with the client, and FAE performs the agreed aerial component. You receive FAE's quotation and set your own offer to the client. Your firm retains project coordination and the commercial relationship.
FAE Partner · for surveying firms

You coordinate the work and the client relationship. FAE handles the agreed aerial acquisition, processing and deliverables, complementing your firm's team and technology.

View FAE’s historical referencesComplementary capacity for your team
For surveying, cadastral and geospatial firms and design teams purchasing an aerial component. You can use FAE even if you own drones: for additional capacity, fixed-wing surveys or a complementary technical configuration.
We handle acquisition and the processing and delivery components specified in the order: orthophotos, point clouds, classification, terrain models and project formats. We select the platform, sensor, control and checks based on how the data will be used. We work in Romania and the European Union following a feasibility and logistics assessment.
FAE communicates directly with the client within your mandate. Commercial use of the project's identity and data requires explicit agreement. Delivery under your firm's brand is agreed separately.
Referring a project — a separate option
You can introduce a new opportunity for which FAE contracts the project directly. The agreed commission is paid after payment is received. Terms are agreed before the introduction; combination with other commercial terms requires explicit agreement.
Responsibilities and service level
- Request
- Area/location, intended use, preferred deadline and deliverables; we clarify missing information together.
- Assessment
- We communicate the technical assessment date according to the available time window.
- Control and coordinates
- Responsibilities and reference points defined before the flight.
- Handover
- Package, formats, tolerances and delivery date specified in the order.
- Urgency
- T+2/T+7 after order confirmation, in calendar days, for accepted projects.
- Verification and remediation
- Acceptance criteria and handling of nonconformities in the project agreement.
- Client relationship
- Communication and data use respect the partner’s mandate.
Joining the programme does not automatically reserve a fieldwork window. Assessment and support take place in communicated time windows; accepted commitments are honoured.
A confirmed deadline for your project
Urgent delivery: LiDAR T+2 · photogrammetry T+7
For projects accepted on an urgent basis, we deliver the agreed data within 2 calendar days for LiDAR or 7 calendar days for photogrammetry, from order confirmation.
T is FAE’s written confirmation of the complete order. The deadline includes mobilisation, flight, processing and verification of the agreed package. An automatic quote and a submitted form do not confirm the order, availability or urgent service.
What we agree before confirmation
We establish the area, deliverables, control requirements, commercial terms, access, operational feasibility and available time window. The confirmation specifies the delivery date and time. Saturday and Sunday count towards the accepted deadline.
For LiDAR + photogrammetry, we explicitly confirm the package and a common deadline or separate deadlines; the entire combined package is not automatically promised at T+2. Specialised sensors and the urgency surcharge are quoted individually.
If circumstances prevent execution, we communicate them and agree on rescheduling. T is not reset unilaterally. State your preferred date in the existing request message.
