Drone Building Inspections

Drone Building Inspection / Survey

Drones offer many advantages for residential and commercial customers. From high-resolution images and 4K video to more detailed focused inspections, building facades and roofs are easily accessible. The speed and efficiency of drones are unrivalled in building inspections.

Drone Building Inspection advantages:

  • Cost-effective versus traditional inspection methods
  • Speed of survey
  • Access terraced or locked-in buildings easily
  • Reduces the need for expensive scaffolding or cherry pickers until confirmed necessary
  • Reducing the risk of injury and the need for dangerous working conditions such as working at heights
  • Assist with insurance claims
  • Listed building inspection criteria and compliance

Period and Older Properties

In the case of older houses or period ones, ladders often are not an option. In built-up areas, this can be even more of a challenge. Terraced houses and commercial properties locked in on both sides make inspection time-consuming and costly. This is where drone building inspections become more cost-effective and safer.

We will discuss the brief with you, or if you have engaged a surveyor, work with them, and give you the results and evidence you need.

Even erecting scaffolding can damage the facade or roofs of older buildings; this is where a drone inspection can come into its own. We can use our high-resolution optical zoom camera from a safe distance to get all the necessary details.

If you need an inspection, we will be happy to assist. We will discuss the brief with you, or if you have engaged a surveyor, work with them, and give you the results and evidence you need.

How much does a drone inspection cost?

We price drone building inspection jobs individually and always aim to provide the most cost-effective solution. We are fair in pricing, but each job comes with several factors that are not always apparent. We will give you a choice of deliverables, and you can pick which best suits your requirements; we don’t tie you to the platform we use. We often use a dedicated inspection platform to host the images, and we give you the option if you want to add this optional extra.
