Turn Survey Data Into Better Decisions with the Propeller Mobile App
Construction sites move quickly. Questions come up constantly. Has this area been cut to level? Does the stockpile quantity look right? Is the build following the latest design? Has that issue actually been resolved onsite?
Using the Propeller Mobile App alongside drone survey data from Drone Surveying gives site teams direct access to critical project information while standing in the work itself.
The result is faster checks, clearer communication and better-informed decisions across the project.
Access Survey Data Directly Onsite
The mobile app allows teams to take drone survey data out of the office and into the field.
Users can navigate the latest survey data directly from a phone or tablet, switching between 2D and 3D views while moving around the site using live GPS positioning. This makes it easier to understand where you are within the wider project and quickly reference key areas during inspections or reviews.
Whether reviewing haul roads, checking plot progress, inspecting earthworks or reviewing completed phases, the latest survey information is always accessible onsite.
Carry Out Quick Measurements in the Field
One of the most useful features within the app is the ability to perform rapid measurements directly from the survey data.
Teams can quickly check distances, surface areas, elevation changes, terrain profiles and stockpile volumes directly onsite.
Instead of waiting for follow-up measurements or manually checking dimensions across site, teams can access reliable survey-based measurements within seconds.
• Checking haul road widths
• Reviewing stockpile quantities onsite
• Verifying plot levels
• Reviewing cut and fill progress
• Comparing earthworks against expectations
Compare Design Data Against Reality
The ability to overlay CAD and design files directly onto drone survey data gives teams a clearer understanding of how construction is progressing against the intended design.
This helps identify discrepancies earlier, improve coordination between office and site teams, and reduce misunderstandings during inspections or progress reviews.
For large or complex developments, having both the survey data and design information visible together onsite can dramatically improve communication.
Capture Geolocated Site Photos
The mobile app also allows users to capture and pin photos directly onto the survey.
Each image is tied to an exact location onsite and synced back to the wider Propeller Aero Platform, allowing office teams to review them later from desktop.
This creates a far more useful visual record than disconnected photos stored in phones or shared across messaging apps.
Improve Communication Across the Project
One of the biggest advantages of connected drone survey data is consistency.
Site teams, engineers, managers and office staff can all reference the same visual information, helping reduce confusion and improve collaboration across the project lifecycle.
Rather than relying on fragmented updates or unclear descriptions, teams can work from accurate survey data tied directly to the site itself.

What the judges said:
“Clear problem identification and solution development with excellent outcomes backed up by glowing client testimonials.”
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 our cut and fill strategy, with regular surveys and their cutting-edge software, we are able to manage our sites much more effectively.
Having now worked with DRONE SURVEYING engineering solutions for a number of years, their services have proven to be invaluable conducting our volumetric surveys, progress videos and cut and fill support. The drone data platform has allowed us to get the best from the data with full support and training provided from the DS team
The drone data helps us to make quicker and smarter key decisions to ensure we have budget and time control on our projects. Having monthly surveys on our sites ensures we keep full control of all earth movements.
Using aerial imagery from drone surveys helps us anticipate errors or mistakes in the next stage of development instead of waiting for work to start on the ground. This proactive approach has saved us hundreds of thousands of pounds; a reactive approach can be costly
DRONE SURVEYING’s twelve-strong team includes specialist drone operators abased in the North, Midlands, South-West and South-East enabling us to survey construction sites across the country, often at short notice. We are fully compliant with the regulations set by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and are in regular contact with them to ensure safe and legal operations.
Our team includes expert engineers who are available to provide ongoing support to assist you in analysing and interpreting the survey data to make informed decisions for your project, often acting as an extension to your in-house team.
