3D Inspection & CAD Roof Plans for PV Projects in Preston
Drone-captured 3D models and CAD-ready roof plans for commercial buildings, solar PV installers and developers.
3D Inspection & CAD Roof Plans - Local Expertise
As our home hub, Preston is at the centre of our drone survey operations across Lancashire. From the city centre regeneration projects to the wider South Ribble development corridor, we provide rapid-response LiDAR, roof inspection and earthworks surveys throughout Preston and surrounding areas.
Preston continues to see significant development activity, from the City Deal regeneration around the docklands and Lancashire Enterprise Zone sites to residential expansion across the north and east of the city. These projects demand accurate topographic data, earthworks monitoring and roof inspections - all deliverable from our local base.
Being based in Preston means we can mobilise quickly, understand local planning requirements and access constraints, and build relationships with developers, contractors and consultants working across the city and South Ribble.
Local Landmarks & Reference Points
Key reference points include the city centre, the Docklands regeneration area, Preston Railway Station, the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) campus, and the M6/M55/M65 motorway network that makes Preston a strategic logistics and development hub.
