What the judges said:
“Clear problem identification and solution development with excellent outcomes backed up by glowing client testimonials.”
Recognition for the work that matters
At Drone Surveying, we have always believed that digital construction should deliver more than impressive visuals and clever software. It should help clients understand their sites, reduce uncertainty, improve planning, support delivery teams and create measurable value across the life of a project.
That thinking sits behind everything we do. From high accuracy drone surveys and earthworks analysis through to stockpile measurement, progress tracking and digital reporting, our focus has always been on giving clients information they can act on with confidence.
Being named Digital Consultancy of the Year is a proud moment because it reflects that wider approach. It recognises not only the technology we use, but the consultancy, interpretation and support that sit behind it.
More than drone surveys
Although drones are a vital part of how we capture data, the real value lies in what happens next, turning site information into something useful.
That means helping clients move beyond raw outputs and towards better decision making. This could be understanding cut and fill position, monitoring change over time, improving visibility across live developments or giving teams clearer evidence to support planning and delivery.
A proud moment for our team
Awards are never won by one person. This recognition belongs to the whole Drone Surveying team. The people capturing data, processing outputs, managing client relationships, refining workflows and improving standards behind the scenes.
The standard of this year’s shortlist also makes the award especially meaningful. Drone Surveying was shortlisted alongside Laminar Projects, Limes Consultancy, Majenta Solutions, Teecom and WiiGroup in the Digital Consultancy of the Year category.
To be recognised in that company is something we are genuinely proud of.
What this means for our clients
For our clients, this award is reassurance that they are working with a team recognised by the wider industry for the quality of its digital consultancy.
It reflects the way we approach projects. Practical, professional and focused on delivering value. On live sites, what matters is not jargon or novelty. It is having trusted information, presented clearly, in a format that supports action.
That is what we aim to provide on every project, and this award is a welcome endorsement of that approach.
Thank you
We are grateful to our clients, partners and wider industry contacts for the trust they place in us. Your support and willingness to embrace better ways of working play a big part in what we are able to achieve.
We would also like to thank the Digital Construction Awards judges and organisers for this recognition.
Winning Digital Consultancy of the Year is an important milestone for Drone Surveying and gives us even more motivation for the work ahead.
Looking ahead
This award is something we are proud of, but it does not change our mindset.
We will continue doing what we set out to do. Helping clients get value from digital site data, improving visibility across projects and delivering consultancy that is practical and commercially useful.

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.
