Drones for Buildings

Using drone for buildings to complete your measured building survey

Our use of drone technology delivers multiple advantages to your project. Drone surveys offer great versatility, fast data collection, and is equally effective as a stand-alone survey or a complementary service alongside more traditional surveying methods.

Collect data with no physical impact the building

Ideal for heritage projects where architectural conservation is paramount or investigations of inaccessible areas and potentially unstable structures. Surveying with a drone reduces risk, allowing the surveyor to remain on the ground, whilst retaining the accuracy of the data collected. The versatility of drone surveying makes it suitable for a range of measured building projects and multi-site schemes.

What are Benefits of using Drones for Buildings?

UAV drone surveys are ideal when working on projects where capturing a large amount of data is required or could be used as part of a project where multiple sites all need to be surveyed. It can minimise the amount of survey time on site because the data capturing can be quicker, safer and less intrusive than using other means.

We have seen our clients choose drone surveys when looking to carry out surveys for holiday parks and as part of roof inspections. We supported the University of Essex with a project utilising a UAV drone survey which included the inspection of student accommodation roofs for a solar panel installation.

Our drone team is fully compliant with the Civil Aviation Authority regulations for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems.
