Why I Started ADS

My name is Kurt Rodgers

I started Absolute Digital Solutions because I’ve lived every side of a construction project—from working with a shovel, to running equipment, to leading crews, managing projects, and directing survey operations. Through that experience, I saw firsthand that many of the biggest problems on a job don’t come from the work itself—they come from bad or incomplete information.

I built ADS to change that.

I wanted to create a solution that gives contractors, engineers, and developers the kind of accurate, reliable data that actually helps them make confident decisions. Not guesses. Not assumptions. Real information that reduces risk, improves efficiency, and protects the bottom line.

At the same time, I saw an opportunity to step into something new. Drone-based LiDAR and advanced 3D modeling represent a shift in how projects are understood and executed, and I’m excited to be a pioneer in this evolving form of technology. This isn’t just about flying drones—it’s about bringing better intelligence to the jobsite.

What drives me is the passion to provide data that makes a difference. To help a company or organization look at a situation—no matter how challenging—and realize there is always a solution, even when it feels like every option is a loss.

That’s why ADS exists:
To bring clarity where there’s uncertainty, accuracy where it matters most, and real solutions where they’re needed.
