UAV Surveys uses advanced drone technology to deliver precise, reliable building inspections that reduce risk, save time, and enhance accuracy. By combining cutting edge navigation and imaging systems, our approach offers greater insight than traditional methods—without the need for expensive equipment or hazardous manual work.
Our drones, equipped with extended accuracy RTK GPS and sophisticated collision detection, can safely operate just a few metres from building surfaces or infrastructure. Careful route planning ensures maximum camera coverage and guarantees no hidden detail goes unnoticed. This method captures a comprehensive record of every angle and surface, both external and internal.
Traditional inspections often demand scaffolding, cranes, or specialist teams to reach difficult areas. UAV Surveys replaces these costly and time consuming approaches. Drones navigate restricted spaces and elevated locations with ease, capturing detailed imagery where conventional surveyors cannot. Indoor 360° photospheres can also be included, creating a full picture of structural conditions without cumbersome access solutions.
Captured data is processed into accurate, detailed 3D models of the inspected structures. These models, along with other deliverables, are made available through the UAV Surveys web portal. This immediate online access allows insurance experts to examine properties remotely, often before issuing a new policy quote or confirming a renewal.
UAV Surveys takes full advantage of collected data to produce a true digital twin of the building. Insurers and their decision makers gain a high resolution, navigable model that reveals every detail, from structural features to potential vulnerabilities. This digital approach offers a level of clarity and perspective that surpasses flat photography, ensuring risks are fully understood.
Gone are the days of relying solely on ground based inspections or limited field notes. UAV Surveys gives assessors the power to view structures from various angles, elevations, and perspectives. Areas once considered inaccessible are now fully visible, enhancing the accuracy of risk assessments and supporting informed underwriting decisions.
Our 3D modelling technology and high resolution imaging allow underwriters to assess both external and internal aspects of a property. Indoor 360° images reveal building layouts, material conditions, and infrastructure integrity. This holistic overview provides a more reliable foundation for determining policy terms and identifying potential issues before they become costly problems.
Thermal imaging can reveal areas of poor insulation, overheating equipment, or other performance issues invisible to the naked eye. UAV Surveys incorporates thermal data collection into inspection flights, enabling insurers to detect these hidden risks, reduce liability, and advise clients on proactive maintenance or remediation strategies.
With UAV Surveys, points of interest, risks, or notable features can be highlighted with a single click. Screenshots, imagery, and data points can be assembled into custom reports that distil essential information in a concise format. This efficient workflow expedites risk assessments, supports rapid decision making, and helps maintain regulatory compliance.
Before each flight, our drone teams conduct thorough safety checks. They identify potential obstacles, review airspace restrictions, and confirm appropriate weather conditions. This rigorous process ensures operations remain secure, compliant, and unobtrusive. Onboard systems and careful planning help us deliver first class service without compromising on safety.
From thermographic surveys and close examinations of structural integrity to mapping ground level surroundings, UAV Surveys adapts its methods to suit each client’s specific requirements. Hard to reach rooftops, towers, and industrial infrastructure become accessible. Detailed data analysis follows every flight, creating comprehensive 3D models, thermal maps, or specialised reports as needed.
In today’s competitive insurance environment, having immediate access to detailed site data is indispensable. UAV Surveys provides real time, high quality information that helps underwriters, adjusters, and claims professionals make quick, well informed decisions. By viewing areas once considered inaccessible, teams can anticipate issues and recommend timely interventions.
With a richer understanding of potential risks, underwriters can reduce their reliance on assumptions or disclaimers. Clear, accurate data leads to policies that are better aligned with actual risk conditions, decreasing exposure to unforeseen liabilities. This transparency builds trust and fosters stronger relationships between insurers and their clients.
UAV Surveys supports a wide range of deliverables. Insurers can receive detailed PDF reports and automated video flythroughs that highlight key findings and illustrate the true scale of a building’s condition. These media assets enhance clarity, helping stakeholders visualise issues and plan effective solutions more confidently.
The UAV Surveys archive preserves historical imagery and survey data, enabling rapid comparisons between past and recent conditions. This resource is invaluable for verifying claims, addressing disputes, and defending against potential fraud. With a trusted record of building states over time, insurers can respond more quickly and accurately, ultimately strengthening their market position.
