Projects

Some of our projects

St Vincent Street, Glasgow

We conducted a full survey of the facade of this Glasgow city centre building after delaminated sandstone was found to have fallen to the ground. Luckily, there were no injuries and we were able to provide the surveyor with quality images to be used to assess the condition of the buiding and recommend repairs.

Quartermile, Edinburgh

We conducted aerial surveys of this prestigious development in Edinburgh as part of a full building condition survey..
This was a particularly complex exercise as we had to fly safely while people continued to go about their normal business.
Thousands of images were captured, examined and organised so that the data could be used by Chartered Surveyor colleagues.

Damaged roof

This is an image of a damaged roof, which allowed the surveyors to assess the damage and recommend repairs.

Dun Church

Masonry had been falling from this 17th century church, and although very remote, there was a danger of injury to anyone below.
We carried out a full survey and passed the data to the insurers to allow them to assess the damage and arrange for repairs.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging allows us to see where heat is escaping from a building and allows remedial works to be prioritised.

3D Model

As well as a full roof inspection, we created a 3D model for our client of this golf club. It was a complex of buildings, some historic, some converted and some dilapidated. Due to the buildings being added over time, there were areas that couldn't have been safely inspected other than by using drones.

Housing Condtion Surveys

Local Authorities and Housing Associations have an uphill struggle prioritising their maintenance schedules within budgets.
Over the past few years we have been busy conductiong roof and at height condition surveys for a number of social housing providers. For our clients, this is quick, cost effective and safe. One of our clients noted that sending a team of 3 people onto the roof causes more damage and is inherently dangerous.

Europe's Largest Warehouse

Warehouses need constant maintenance and conducting aerial surveys of the at height elements is safer, faster and produces better data than alternative methods.

Drones and Privacy

People are quite rightly concerned that drones, or as they are otherwise known, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), may be used to take film or photographs of them or their property without their permission. As professional drone operators, ensuring privacy is a top priority. At Construction Drone Services, we understand the importance of maintaining privacy while conducting building condition surveys with drones. We adhere to strict ethical guidelines and legal regulations, ensuring that all data collected is used solely for the purpose of surveying and inspection.

We respect the privacy of individuals and property owners at all times. Our experienced drone operators are trained to prioritise privacy by avoiding areas where privacy could be compromised. Additionally, we take necessary precautions to protect the data collected during the surveys. With Construction Drone Services, you can trust that your clients' privacy is being respected while still benefiting from the speed, accuracy, and efficiency that drone technology brings to building condition surveys. Rest assured, our services prioritise privacy and professionalism to provide you with the best results.

We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and abide by their code of practice.

If you think you may have been inadvertently filmed, please get in touch with us and we will investigate and delete any identifiable images we have of you.

Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)

For further peace of mind, we hold Enhanced PVG and DBS certificates to reassure our clients that we have been vetted by Police and can work with children and vulnerable adults. You can therefore be reassured when we are conducting drone operations in residential areas, near or in schools and student accommodation.
