3D Inspection & CAD Roof Plans for PV Projects in Chorley
Drone-captured 3D models and CAD-ready roof plans for commercial buildings, solar PV installers and developers.
3D Inspection & CAD Roof Plans - Local Expertise
Chorley's position at the crossroads of the M6, M61 and M65 motorways makes it a strategic location for development - and for our drone survey services. We provide LiDAR surveys, PV roof inspections and earthworks monitoring across Chorley and the surrounding borough.
Buckshaw Village remains one of Lancashire's largest ongoing residential and commercial redevelopments, while the motorway corridor continues to attract logistics and distribution development. These projects require accurate topographic data, progress monitoring and roof inspections.
Our proximity to Chorley means rapid mobilisation for time-sensitive projects, and our experience with the area's mixed-use redevelopment sites helps us anticipate access and planning considerations.
Local Landmarks & Reference Points
Key reference points include Chorley town centre, the M61 corridor, Buckshaw Village (a major former Royal Ordnance Factory redevelopment), Astley Village, and the strategic logistics and distribution sites along the motorway network.
3D Inspection & CAD Roof Plans for PV Projects
What 3d inspection & cad roof plans for pv projects Delivers
We fly commercial rooftops to capture high-resolution 3D models and produce CAD-ready roof plans accurate to the cm - no scaffolding, no rope access, no risk.
Solar PV designers get exact roof dimensions, pitch, obstacle positions and structural detail they need to plan panel layouts and generate accurate quotes.
Our deliverables drop straight into your PV design workflow, cutting site visits and speeding up the quoting and installation process.
