    How It Works

    A clear, five-step process from your first enquiry to final delivery. Built around your project timeline and deliverable requirements.

    1

    Enquiry & Brief

    You tell us about your site, what you need and your timeline. We assess the requirements, access and any constraints, then confirm scope and pricing.

    2

    Flight Planning

    We plan the drone flight lines, ground control strategy and operating procedures. For complex sites we produce a detailed flight plan and risk assessment.

    3

    On-Site Capture

    Our CAA-qualified pilot deploys to site with the DJI M350 RTK and captures the required data - LiDAR point clouds, photogrammetric imagery or inspection photos.

    4

    Data Processing

    Raw data is processed in-house: point clouds are cleaned and classified, 3D models are built, volumes are calculated, and CAD drawings are drafted.

    Delivery

    You receive your deliverables in the agreed formats, with a quality report and accuracy statement. We're available for any follow-up questions or revisions.
