Are Drones Becoming A Useful Tool In Survey Work?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Drones are becoming increasingly popular these days. While many people view them as an expensive toy, some industries realise that drones can be a useful tool in the working environment. The real estate market and the construction industry can use drones and we believe that when used properly, drones are becoming a useful tool in survey work.
An obvious advantage of using a drone comes with obtaining a view of a roof or a location that is extremely difficult to reach. Even at the planning stage, the information obtained by a drone can make it easier to develop a plan and make arrangements. When it comes to having the right equipment or personnel in place, drone information offers a fantastic starting point for building firms.
Visual content from drones make a massive difference to firms
However, it is with respect to surveying that drones may have the biggest impact in the construction sector. The visual content offered from a drone that can rise above a property and hover in place is essential in creating a survey.
Of course, it is not just the visual footage that a drone provides that helps, many modern drones can be equipped with sensors. This allows the drone to capture information that allows measurements to be made, and then transmitted and stored by the building firm.
With respect to property boundaries, dividing land, building placement and identifying types of land (or uses of land), drones are an essential tool that can save time and money.
Some of the key benefits that are derived from using drones include:
- Minimising the disruption on a property
- Reducing the level of danger or risk an employee may face in carrying out a survey
- The quality of the images captured by the survey can be highly informative, leading to a more accurate survey being undertaken
- With many drones being battery-powered, this is environmentally friendly equipment that has a much less negative impact than some machines and tools
Drones can offer a cost-effective solution for many firms</h2
Of course, while there are many benefits to using drones, it is likely that companies will decide on whether this is a cost-effective solution. There is an extensive range of drones to choose from, and it should be possible for all companies to find a drone solution that fits with their budget.

Knowing that drones can work with the bottom line companies operate is a great comfort for construction firms and it is likely that thoughtful consideration will be made for the use of drones for survey work from this point on.
At H.I.C.H. LTD, we like to stay in touch with the latest trends and developments in the construction and building sector. There is no denying that drones are the flavour of the month, but the range of benefits offered by this equipment suggests that this is an option that is worth considering.
If you undertake a lot of challenging survey work or you are keen to find more cost and time-effective solutions, using a drone to assist or replace your current survey methods may be ideal for your business.
