Our Story

A multidisciplinary geospatial consultancy, built in Gaborone

Ultimatum Finesse (Pty) Ltd was established in 2013 to provide professional, innovative and technically sound services across the geospatial environment: drone services, surveying, mining, construction and BIM. The Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana (CAAB) certifies us for commercial drone operations.

Our Vision: To create a more informed and sustainable future where geospatial insights are seamlessly integrated into decision-making across diverse industries.

Our Mission: To be the leading innovator in geospatial solutions, empowering our clients to make informed decisions through the power of GIS, advanced surveying techniques, and drone technology.

We work across business, agriculture and infrastructure, for government departments, private companies and individual landowners alike. Our seven service disciplines work together: a single drone flight can feed a GIS layer, a BIM model and a volumetric survey at the same time.

What Drives Us

The values behind every dataset

Precision First

Every survey is validated against ground control. If it’s not accurate, it doesn’t leave the office.

Practical Innovation

We adopt new capture technology when it makes a project faster, safer or cheaper, never for its own sake.

Local Terrain Knowledge

More than a decade working Botswana’s landscape means we plan around the terrain, not against it.
