In the fast-paced world of construction and property maintenance, efficiency is key.
Traditional methods of building inspections often involve costly scaffolding, significant manpower, and time-consuming processes.
However, with the rise of drone technology, building surveys have become faster, safer, and more cost-effective.
Our client had one simple goal in mind: Get to the roof as quickly as possible. Thanks to our drone surveyors, that goal was achieved!
What Is a Drone Survey?
Aerial Drone Surveys employ drone technology to capture high-resolution images and data from above, offering a unique vantage point that is not possible with traditional surveying methods.
The models we produce with our drone data allow you to see your site in 3D and make notes on specific areas, as well as take accurate dimensions from any part of the model!

How Did Our Client Benefit From a SolidPoint Drone Survey?
Choosing a drone survey over traditional building surveying methods holds many benefits, however, there are 3 that stand out the most:
Identifying Structural Damage with Ease
One of the primary advantages of a drone survey is its ability to capture high-resolution footage, allowing for a thorough review of potential damage.
The drone provided clear, detailed images of the building for our client, enabling precise assessment without the need for physical inspections at height.
Significant Cost Savings
Traditional building inspections often require scaffolding or lifting equipment, which can be expensive and time-consuming to install.
By using a drone, our client saved a substantial amount by eliminating these additional costs.
Speed and Efficiency
Unlike traditional methods that could take days, the entire survey was completed in just four hours.
With a single operator required, the job was done quickly and efficiently, minimising disruption and reducing overall labour costs.

Why Choose Drone Surveys?
The adoption of drone technology in building inspections is a game-changer. It not only enhances safety by reducing the need for manual inspections at height but also provides rapid and accurate results.
For businesses and property owners, this means faster decision-making, reduced costs, and an overall streamlined process.
Overall, this project took 4 hours to complete, and only cost £1,132, so if you’re looking for a cost-effective, efficient, and safe way to inspect your property, a drone survey might be the perfect solution.
What Our Client Received:
- A fully interactive model
- Individual photos taken by our drone
