Services
Drone inspection & survey services
Six services covering facades, scaffolding, progress, survey, thermal and infrastructure — combined to suit your project, capturing multiple datasets in one flight.
Scaffold & Structure Inspection
Periodic image records of scaffolding, netting and high-level structure.
Traditional methods vs drones
| Criteria | Scaffolding / gondola | Drone inspection |
|---|---|---|
| Lead time | Erection and dismantling take weeks | Scheduled after site assessment; flights take days |
| Cost | Higher scaffold, gondola and labour costs | No temporary works; lower overall cost |
| Disruption to occupants | Blocks windows, affects ventilation and security | Short capture windows with advance notice |
| Work-at-height risk | Workers at height | Crew operates from the ground |
| Coverage | Often partial, limited to scaffold area | Every elevation of the building |
| Repeatability | Re-inspection needs re-erection | Same route can be re-flown for comparison |
Our process
01
Enquiry & drawings
Share the address, building type, storeys and purpose; drawings or past reports help.
02
Site assessment & flight planning
We review surroundings, take-off points and airspace; for advanced operations we apply to the CAD beforehand.
03
Data capture
Visual, telephoto and (if required) thermal imagery along the planned route, with a safety zone in place.
04
Analysis & annotation
Every image is reviewed and suspected defects are tagged by elevation, floor and location.
05
Report delivery & follow-up
We deliver the report and imagery, answer questions and support repair or RI follow-up.
Deliverables
| Deliverable | Content | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Annotated elevations | Suspected defect locations and IDs marked on elevations | Standard |
| Photo index | High-resolution photo for each tagged location | Standard |
| Defect schedule | Type, location, description and suggested follow-up (PDF / Excel) | Standard |
| Thermal comparison | Thermograms alongside visual images with anomaly areas | Optional |
| Orthomosaic / 3D model | Orthomosaic or 3D model of elevations or site | Optional |
| Raw imagery | All original photos and clips (as agreed) | Optional |
Turnaround depends on building size and deliverables selected and is stated in the quotation.
