Why Work With Survey Drones?
Five reasons project teams across the UK choose us for civil engineering and groundworks surveys.
Industry Expertise
We work exclusively across civil engineering, groundworks and infrastructure projects across the UK every single day.
Professional Kit
Survey-grade drones, RTK and PPK positioning, and specialist processing software calibrated for accurate results.
Consistent Data
Standardised workflows and rigorous quality checks deliver outputs you can trust for measurement and reporting.
Clear Communication
A named point of contact, clear scopes and straightforward updates from your first call through to data delivery.
Project Focused
We treat every survey as part of your wider project, focused on outcomes, programme and commercial certainty.
When To Commission A Drone Survey On Your Project
Knowing when to deploy aerial survey support is often the difference between catching an issue early and discovering it on a valuation.
Pre-Start & Mobilisation
Capture a baseline of existing site conditions before any works begin — protecting you commercially and informing the construction phase plan.
Active Earthworks
Schedule recurring flights during muck-shift and bulk earthworks to validate cut/fill volumes and avoid lorry-load disputes.
Monthly Valuations
Align surveys with valuation dates so QSs and contracts managers have independent evidence to support applications and assessments.
Handover & As-Built
Produce a clear visual and topographic record at PC for client handover, defects management and future asset reference.
Drone Survey Deliverable Formats Explained
Each output is matched to how your engineers, planners and commercial teams already work — no proprietary viewers required.
For Engineers & Designers
- LAS / LAZ point clouds — drop straight into Civil 3D, Revit or Bentley for design overlay and clash detection.
- DWG / DXF contours & breaklines — survey-ready CAD strings tied to OSGB36 or your project grid.
- DTM & DSM (GeoTIFF) — bare-earth and full-surface models for drainage, levels and design verification.
For Project & Commercial Teams
- High-resolution orthomosaics (GeoTIFF / JPG) — site-wide top-down imagery suitable for progress slides and client packs.
- PDF volume & progress reports — branded, audit-ready documents your QS or PM can share without modification.
- Web viewer link — secure cloud access for stakeholders to measure, annotate and compare flights without specialist software.
