ABOVE AND BEYOND: HIGHLY COMMENDED AT THE HOUSEBUILDER AWARDS 2025
Small team. Big impact. Recognition we’re proud of.
We’re delighted to share that Drone Surveying has been awarded Highly Commended in the Subcontractor/Services Provider of the Year category at the Housebuilder Awards 2025.
For a specialist team like ours, this recognition means a lot. It celebrates the way we partner with housebuilders to deliver fast, accurate, and cost-effective aerial surveys that keep projects moving—safely, efficiently, and with total confidence in the data.
Why this matters
The Housebuilder Awards are among the most respected in our industry. Being named Highly Commended acknowledges not just our technical expertise, but the real-world outcomes we help project teams achieve:
Better decisions, faster — high-quality data on cut-and-fill, stockpiles, and progress tracking.
Reduced rework and cost — precise volumes and surfaces that stand up to scrutiny.
Safer, smarter sites — rapid capture with minimal disruption on the ground.
Consistency at scale — repeatable survey workflows across multiple regions and developments.
How we got here
Behind every flight is planning, precision and teamwork. Our pilots, surveyors and analysts work as one to deliver dependable outputs—orthomosaics, DSMs/DTMs, CAD deliverables and dashboards—that site teams can act on immediately. And we’re proud to do that for some of the UK’s leading developers, from Taylor Wimpey and Redrow to Barratt and Bellway.
A massive thank you
This recognition belongs to our clients, who continue to trust us with complex sites and tight timelines, and to our team, whose commitment to quality never wavers. We’re a small but mighty crew—and this shows what focused specialists can achieve.

Thanks for being part of the journey. Here’s to building better – one flight at a time. –
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 nine-strong team includes specialist drone operators based 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 experts 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.
