How much does a drone survey cost in the UK?
Costs vary: £699 for commercial roof inspections, £600 for construction site surveys, and £2000 for Drone Land Surveys (LiDAR). Prices can range depending on the type and complexity of the survey
Are drone surveys accurate?
Drone survey accuracy (how close measurements are to real-world values) varies depending on factors like drone type, camera quality, and flight height. Commercial drones achieve high accuracy (within 0.5cm – 2cm), while consumer drones may be less accurate (around 5m).
Are drones good for roof inspections?
Yes, drones are highly effective for roof inspections, offering benefits such as cost efficiency, faster assessments, and improved safety. They provide detailed views of roofing systems and materials, aiding in the early detection of issues before they escalate.
How much does drone mapping service cost?
Drone surveying costs vary depending on project size, but it’s generally more cost-effective than traditional methods. This is due to lower operational expenses associated with ground-based equipment.
How can drone surveying services save me time and money?
Drones reduce the need for physical manpower and can complete surveys more quickly, saving both time and money
