Upsite is an aerial media and metrics company that is led by Chris Lierheimer.

Chris has long been passionate about photography and videography, and began making films with his skydiving, and paragliding friends in Colorado. This creativity naturally led to working with drones, and before long, Chris found a way to incorporate drones into his career.

While working in Denver, Chris pioneered the use of survey drones on PCL Construction sites. This skill set allowed him to travel across the States, and Hawaii to assist with construction site mapping and monitoring.

After moving with his wife to New Zealand, he discovered that there was an underserved market for drone surveying in the local construction industry. While drone surveying has become commonplace in the States, there is an opportunity in New Zealand to adopt this technology. Through Upsite, Chris aims to make drone surveying and metrics more accessible to everyone.
