Drone technology is cheaper, safer and more reliable than traditional methods such as scaffolding, cherry-pickers and ropes. It's also quicker and less labour intensive. We will bring everything we need and be out of your way that same day.
Downtime is expensive, unpopular and inconvenient. Using a drone, our engineers can conduct a thorough survey with little to no downtime.
Our equipment won't touch or even go close to your assets. Our high-resolution cameras use optical zoom to give extreme close-up views while staying a safe distance away.
We use cutting-edge technologies to detect problems that would otherwise be invisible. These include ultra-HD photography/video, LIDAR and thermal imaging.
Drones aren't just for flying up in the sky. Our specialist drones can fly into confined spaces like chimneys and boilers to look for issues that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Thermal IR technology and ultra HD allow our engineers to get a view that it not available to the naked eye. From a safe distance, we can find defects and insights that are only visible with a drone.
Sometimes the brief can change even in real-time. If need be, you can be stood there right next to the drone operator, directing them as the situation develops.
Our drone service enables construction workers, property owners and other stakeholders to make insightful decisions faster. Because drones are cost-effective, they're ideal for surveying, inspecting and mapping construction progress. You can save man-hours, cover more ground in less time and get instant access to cutting-edge analysis. With drones, we get a complete overview of the construction site in a fraction of the time.
Regardless of the scope and size of a construction project, drones are fast becoming an indispensable tool. From a stand-alone house, to shopping centres and apartment blocks, to an entire housing estate. The accuracy, speed and efficiency of our drone service provide the perfect cost-saving solutions. Project managers get real time information and a more productive workload.
We take emails, phone calls, messages, everything! If you are unsure of what's possible we are happy to advise, the most important thing is to get in touch. We would be delighted to answer any questions you may have.
With drones, it's best to begin where you want to end up. What sort of deliverable would you like when it's all finished? If you are not sure then we can advise. We can look at what you would like and work backwards from there.
Once we have agreed on what is to be done, the scope of work is set and a price is agreed upon. We feel it is vital that everyone knows what they are getting and what they are paying for it. There should be no confusion.
Once we have confirmation you are happy to proceed, we start the ball rolling. We organise things like RAMS, site permits, Air Traffic Control clearance and much more. Basically, we generate everything needed to turn up on-site with all our ducks in a row.
Next, we do the work on site. We have the gear, we have the know-how, so now it's time to get the job done. This can sometimes be affected by the weather, but for the most part, we get the job done on the date specified.
This is where we take what we generated in the field and turn it into a final deliverable for you. This can be anything from the raw data itself, to fully processed Orthophotos, condition reports, CAD line work or thermal imagery.
The final step is the handover of the deliverables. We tend to use a cloud-based service, so you can access your data anywhere. We can also tie into your existing systems if that is more convenient.
Spoiler alert: we don't do weddings! We're professional engineers who have learned to fly drones really well. If you're looking for a photo of your garden or a swooshing shot of your wedding reception, we're probably not the right people for you. But if you need an engineer's eyes and experience, combined with next-generation UAV technology and industry leading deliverables, then you've come to the right place.

Find out moreDrone data is so versatile that it can be useful during all stages of the construction process. From the planning stage, to project process monitoring and showcasing your project. The application possibilities of drones in the construction sector are plenty.
During the planning process, our drones can be used to take 360° degree landscape photographs that can be used for analysis and the preparation of applications. Drones can streamline this initial phase, saving both time and money while giving the project a more professional presentation.
The unlimited vantage points and perspectives offered by drones make site planning much more accurate. Because the various elements of the site can be viewed at their true height and scale, the precision of the planning becomes more clinical, reducing the time spent on fixing omissions, correcting errors and general revision.
Topographical surveys can help prevent damage to your resources and materials. Even a slight slope of the terrain can cause your property to flood in heavy rain. We survey the landscape of your site and identify problem areas. Materials, office space and access can be moved away from the risk areas and into safety.
This is an important first step in any venture, because it allows you to make the best decisions when planning your site. This way you can avoid damage to resources and ensure that the project stays under budget.
During the construction phase, regular surveys and inspections of the site are essential. Collecting data on general progress, stock levels, required purchases and worker safety are just some of the ever-changing elements that need to be constantly recorded and adjusted. With our drone services, every aspect of site monitoring is taken care of without the need for people on the ground, which can be expensive and inconvenient. And without the need for a manned vehicle to fly over the site, which can be time-consuming and costly.
Drones have applications beyond imagery. They're used as tools to calculate measurements. The data we collect is accurate and can be used to calculate height, length, area and volume. In the office, you can make informed decisions because you have our results at your fingertips, without have to return to the site. We measure stockpile volume measurements so your inventory is always up to date.
When it comes to presenting your project, drone footage can really give it the visual impact it deserves. That's true at the planning application stage and during the construction, but especially after completion. Whether you're showing potential buyers or stakeholders, the unlimited angles and 4K resolution our drones can offer will give your presentations the "Wow Factor" they need to stand out.
Using state-of-the-art technology, we can find and highlight issues that are hard to find or even invisible to the naked eye. This saves further time in the repair or replacement of construction components. Tradespeople and other personnel on-site can be directed to areas of concern with pinpoint accuracy and with all the information they need. These reports can also be shared digitally with anyone else that may need to examine them. For example, with stakeholders and insurance companies.
We purchase the latest drones as they come on the market to ensure you are getting the highest quality service from us at all times. Here is a quick look at what we would be most likely to use for a typical drone construction inspection.
