AERIAL DATA THAT DELIVERS

ACCURATE DATA.
REAL RESULTS.

A clear, measurable view of your whole site — captured in one visit.

We fly a planned grid over your site and capture hundreds of overlapping, high-resolution images. They are processed into maps, models and measurements your team can use — faster, safer and with far less disruption than walking the site with traditional equipment.

  • Save time and reduce costly site visits
  • Capture hard-to-reach or unsafe areas without working at height
  • Measure areas, distances and volumes from your desk
  • Build a consistent visual record of progress
  • Share one clear picture with clients, contractors and stakeholders

WHAT WE DELIVER

MORE THAN JUST PHOTOS.

01

2D maps & orthomosaics

Stitched, high-resolution maps of the whole site, ready to measure, mark up and share.

02

3D models & point clouds

Explore the site from any angle and see the true shape of land, buildings and stockpiles.

03

Accurate measurements

Areas, distances, elevations and stockpile volumes, measured from the processed data.

04

Visual records

Aerial photography and video for reports, stakeholder updates, marketing and progress.

Delivered in the formats your team already uses — typically GeoTIFF, PDF, OBJ and LAS. We confirm file formats and any CAD, BIM or GIS requirements before the flight.

INDUSTRIES WE SUPPORT

BUILT FOR
REAL-WORLD PROJECTS.

From construction and infrastructure to renewable energy, land and agriculture, our drone surveys give you the accurate, visual data you need to move projects forward — and to keep everyone looking at the same picture.

OUR PROCESS

SIMPLE. EFFICIENT. EFFECTIVE.

  1. 01

    Plan

    We agree the area, outputs and accuracy you need, then check airspace, access and permissions.

  2. 02

    Capture

    A planned, automated flight grid captures the site consistently — and can be repeated on every visit.

  3. 03

    Process

    Images are processed into maps, models and measurements, then checked before anything is delivered.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    You receive easy-to-use files and links, ready for your team, your report or the next site meeting.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

TURN COMPLEX SITES
INTO CLEAR INSIGHTS.

Our drone surveys give you the full picture — visually and in numbers. From 3D models to precise measurements, we help you see what’s really happening on site.

Book a one-off survey or regular visits flown the same way each time, so progress can be compared like for like.

ACCURACY, PLANNED IN

THE RIGHT DATA.
NO SHORTCUTS.

Not every project needs the same level of accuracy.

Progress monitoring, planning and stakeholder updates usually need clear, consistent and measurable data. If your project needs survey-grade, georeferenced accuracy, tell us at the brief stage — we’ll confirm the right approach, such as ground control points, before we quote, and we’re happy to work alongside your surveyor or engineer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

THE ANSWERS
YOU NEED.

What is a drone survey?

We fly a planned, overlapping flight pattern over your site and capture hundreds of high-resolution images. Those images are processed into a stitched 2D map (an orthomosaic), a 3D model and measurements, giving you an accurate, up-to-date view of the whole site from a single visit.

How accurate is a drone survey?

It depends on the flight height, image overlap, aircraft and whether ground control points are used. For progress monitoring, planning, stockpile checks and stakeholder updates, a standard mapping flight is usually ideal. If your project needs survey-grade, georeferenced accuracy, tell us at the brief stage and we will confirm the right approach before we quote.

Does a drone survey replace a measured or topographic survey?

Not always. Drone mapping is a fast, cost-effective way to measure and record a site, but legal boundaries, design-critical setting out and certified measured surveys remain the job of a chartered surveyor. We are happy to work alongside your surveyor or engineer and supply the aerial data they need.

What files will I receive?

Typically a high-resolution orthomosaic (GeoTIFF and PDF), a 3D model, a point cloud and a summary of the measurements you asked for, plus aerial photos and video if required. We confirm formats and any CAD, BIM or GIS requirements before the flight so the files drop straight into your workflow.

Can you return to track progress over time?

Yes. We can fly the same flight plan on each visit, so maps, models and volumes can be compared like for like. Repeat visits can be booked weekly, monthly or at key project milestones.

Can you fly over a live construction site?

Usually, with the site manager’s agreement, a site induction and a flight plan that works around plant, cranes and people on site. We check airspace, access and permissions for every location before confirming a flight.
