There are various ways to get topography data, detailed below. However, the first question is always: WHY is the topographic data needed? In essence, how much precision is required for your specific context?

There is public data (topography) available for the entire world, however, for many regions, the data is low-resolution and therefore may not be too useful. However, Sometimes low-resolution data can provide value regardless, so it all depends on your context and intentions.

Some regions of the world have high-resolution data available online, in which case, we may be able to retrieve your land's topographic data remotely. 

If high-resolution topography data is required, yet not publically available, performing a survey is the solution.

• Retrieval of online public data topo ($)

• 'Standard' survey - using drone photogrammetry ($)

• 'Prevision' survey - using drone photogrammetry and control points ($$)

• 'Precision' survey - using lidar ($$$)

We're happy to talk you through the meaning and implications of the above.
