Embracing Advanced Drone Survey Technology

In a rapidly evolving digital age, the Drone Survey technology stands out as a game-changer for inspections and aerial photography. Searching for a safe way to inspect difficult-to-reach areas or capture stunning imagery of properties? Look no further. At SolidPoint, we harness the power of this cutting-edge technology, operated by certified professionals.

With a rich history in surveying, we pride ourselves on our team’s unparalleled proficiency in operating UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for commercial purposes. SolidPoint is more than just a service; we’re a commitment to excellence.

How Much Does a Drone Survey Cost?

Typically, the cost can be as low as £550 + VAT for a small sized plot situated reasonably local to our offices. This price will of course increase dependant on distance, size and the level of detail required to record what you need.

What Is an Aerial Drone Survey?

 

Aerial drone surveys employ cutting-edge drone technology to capture high-resolution images and data from above, offering a unique vantage point that is not possible with traditional surveying methods. This aerial perspective is essential for planners, developers, and conservationists in Derby who need to assess, plan, and manage projects with a comprehensive overview of the landscape.

    In today’s construction and real estate landscape, having granular, precise data has never been more essential. For effective refurbishments, having comprehensive data is paramount.

    Whether you’re a designer, contractor, or facility manager, making informed decisions is crucial. Aerial drone surveys bring you unparalleled perspectives, transforming challenges into solutions.

    From pinpointing leaks causing property damage to understanding the intricacies of an unreachable roof, aerial drone survey inspections are the optimal way to gather necessary data.

    Drone surveys represent a modern, efficient, and safer alternative to traditional surveying methods, bringing a new level of precision and accessibility to various fields.

    Inspection Data Highlights: 

    • Roof damage assessments
    • Inspections of hard-to-reach or inaccessible areas

    St. Paul’s Cathedral

    Our team was contacted to carry out a measured survey of the exterior walls and the roof of St. Paul’s Cathedral by their Property Management team, to assess whether there is any damage to the cathedral, and to what extent that damage is. To do this, we conducted an aerial drone survey in order to ensure that we captured every detail on the building.

    Drone Survey of Apartment Building in Sheffield

    Our task was to capture aerial imagery of this new build apartment building in Sheffield.
    The client’s brief was straightforward: “We want a short drone video to use in our new marketing campaign”.
    If you’ve ever worked with us, you’ll know we’re passionate about getting the most value we can out of technology. So, our general aim is to see what added value we can bring from the data we collect. We set out to see if we could capture reasonably accurate drone survey data that could have multiple uses and bring immense value from the 1 hour we spent on site.

    Swindon College – Point Cloud and BIM

    Two buildings at Swindon College; Corvus and Pegasus, required a full measured building survey to act as the starting point for renovation design work to take place. The Architects commissioned for the design work use ArchiCAD frequently, so requested the data in an industry standard intelligent 3D IFC format that could be imported into ArchiCAD. As they are familiar with analysing point cloud data, they also requested this in a working E57 format.
    A standard measured building survey is also traditionally delivered as 2D plans, sections and elevations. Although the Architects were working in a 3D BIM format, they still required 2D plans as quick reference and of course to issue as part of a planning application. So, these were high on their priority list.

    Swift Data Delivery

    In our digital age, time is of the essence. At SolidPoint, we understand that speed doesn’t have to compromise quality. Usually, data collection wraps up within a day. With our advanced processing tools and dedicated team, expect processed data ready for electronic delivery by the next day.

    Economical Choice

    Aerial drone surveying isn’t just about cutting-edge technology—it’s also about cost-effectiveness. A smart alternative to traditional methods like scaffolding or machine lifts, it offers superior views without the hefty price tag. It’s cost-effective, free from height restrictions, and quickly deployable. Plus, our advanced drones ensure that weather or cloud cover won’t compromise the results.

    Minimal Interruptions

    Your daily operations matter to us. Our team carefully plans each project, designating a remote take-off and landing zone, distant from main entrances and foot traffic, ensuring zero disturbances or potential harm. With SolidPoint, enjoy a seamless, professional experience every time.
