6 reasons why a drone land survey is a good idea

Drone Surveying
Drone Mapping & topographical surveys with a drone
Drone mapping has now come into its own. We can measure sites in a fraction of the time of conventional survey operations. That isn’t to say this technique is without limitations. As skilled land surveyors, we know the relative accuracies of data. We understand the limitations of drone technology. As a result, we can maintain precision across a project. While any drone pilot can make a map, only a trained land surveyor has the depth of knowledge to deliver precise spatial data.

Inspection Reports
Roof inspections with a drone during construction or for routine maintenance without scaffolding or expensive access equipment

Volume Calculations
Quarry, landfill or earthwork surveys can be carried out with a drone survey quickly, cheaply and safely without the risk of trips, falls, spills and collisions; a drone earthworks survey can deliver volume calculations in hours, not weeks.

3D Model or Digital Twin
Using photogrammetry, lidar & laser scanners we can accurately model your physical assets. A 3d model/digital twin is a great way to inspect & view assets or your environment of interest. Using our surveyor’s know-how and experience, we ensure accurate and precise data acquisition. We can use various equipment to measure your assets, inside and out quickly. Raw data is collected using a drone or ground-based photogrammetry, lidar & laser scanners, total stations and GPS receivers.

Progress Monitoring
Book a bird’s eye view progress monitoring survey on your construction site. Monitor progress on your construction site. Inspect progress quickly, cheaply, and safely view details without interrupting site operations. Review superstructure without needing extra scaffolding, Cherry Pickers or other expensive access equipment.

Land Surveying

Topographical Surveys
Topographical surveys, ground surveys or Topo Surveys are accurate surveys produced by Land Surveyors to precisely depict the topography of an area of interest or parcel of land and its structures and features.

Measured Building Surveys
A measured building survey is a report that provides detailed drawings of the structure, internal and external features, and services of buildings. Measured surveys are essential for architects, builders, developers, and other professionals who need to know how to develop or renovate a property. Measured building surveys can be used in many ways including determining the suitability of an existing building for conversion; assessing the potential alternative uses; checking the structure of buildings; assessing planning applications.

Setting Out
Setting out is the reverse of the Land Survey process, whereby a Land Surveyor takes a design and accurately marks out or sets out the position/dimensions of the design in the real world.
