DRONE SURVEYING creates a data set of precision imagery that enables clients to analyse measurements, make volumetric calculations and view recordings of your site throughout every stage of construction.
We understand the importance of accuracy in the data we supply. Utilising the latest high specification drones and industry leading software, we ensure you can trust in our results – every time.
AERIAL SURVEYS PERFECTED
We support the build process in its entirety, from adoption of land to the handover of the last property
The movement of earth on site can be hard to manage as most of your sites are so fast moving. Better use of technology and mass data will only bring better efficiencies on site resulting in better decisions, smarter working and significant cost savings.
House builders are now starting to use this type of technology with great success. If all teams started use this type of data in their day-to-day work, smarter working, group collaboration and better control of sites will follow.
Transform finished floor level files into a comprehensive 3D surface encompassing the entire site design. By incorporating construction design depths for various elements such as plots, driveways, footpaths, and drainage, an exhaustive earthworks model is created that can be used to calculate cut and fill for the entire site or individual plots. Drones equipped with surveying technologies, such as LiDAR or photogrammetry, are used to gather the necessary data for cut and fill calculations.
Our skilled technicians overlay your site drawings in CAD or PDF format into our accurate drone survey data.
We convert topographical surveys from 2D to 3D and overlay these as a 3D surface. In addition, earthworks models can be overlayed for comparison against our 3D drone data.
The CAD overlay helps compare the design against the as-built which will assist in highlighting errors in construction such as fence boundary discrepancies, the incorrect installation of driveways and footpaths and plot and road positioning.
Each stockpile is accurately measured to a baseline calculation giving the cubic volume. This fully supports the Material Management Plan for the site. Earthworks movements can be tracked by comparing an area against a previous survey to quantify the amount of earth moved.
DRONES ARE TRANSFORMING THE WORLD OF CONSTRUCTION
With an extensive portfolio of clients, Drone Surveying provide a range of professional, comprehensive services working with large scale house builders to smaller companies supporting the complete build process from adoption of land to the hand-over of the last property. We ensure all customers receive a quality, time efficient service which guarantees cost effective savings.

I have worked with DRONE SURVEYING for some years now, from checking a boundary of new land to auditing earthworks. The use of drones on our sites is now standard; we monitor progress and calculate cut and fill via the online software as our sites progress.
The use of regular mass data collection and the latest drone technology and practises will without doubt save us time and money on our sites.

We use DRONE SURVEYING on all of our sites to support out cut and fill strategy, with regular surveys and their cutting-edge software, we are able to manage our sites much more effectively.
WE CARRY OUT SURVEYS FOR HOUSE BUILDERS and contractors THROUGHOUT THE UK
I’m amazed at the technological advancements and the evolving landscape that have shaped the industry we see today. My biggest achievement has been watching my business, Drone Surveying, develop into something bigger than I could ever have expected.
In recent years, drones have taken off—both literally and figuratively. As the world gears up to celebrate International Drone Day, it’s an ideal moment to explore how the UK has embraced drone technology, revolutionising industries and reshaping our perception of these flying marvels.
