Drone Surveys

At Terracotta Property, we combine innovative technology with professional expertise to deliver accurate, efficient, and cost-effective aerial survey solutions. Drone surveys, carried out using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have rapidly gained traction. Our CAA-certified pilots employ advanced unmanned drones to safely carry out high level inspections.

Drone surveys provide a safe and precise way to assess properties, land, and infrastructure from above, offering a new perspective that’s invaluable for pre-acquisition building analysis, property management, development planning, and maintenance assessments.

Why Choose A Drone Survey?

Using state-of-the-art drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced sensors, aerial drone surveys can provide detailed data and imagery without the need for traditional, time-intensive surveying methods.

Aerial surveys are ideal for properties that include difficult-to-access areas, eliminating the need for need for expensive scaffolding or access equipment, reducing survey cost and providing a more comprehensive assessment of the subject building’s condition.

Benefits of Drone Surveys with Terracotta Property

Cost Efficiency: Drone surveys reduce the need for expensive scaffolding and specialised equipment. In many cases, a drone survey can be completed in a fraction of the time and cost of a traditional survey.
Improved Safety: Surveyors can now assess hazardous areas without putting themselves or others at risk. Drones can access rooftops, tall buildings, and other high-risk locations while surveyors remain safely on the ground.
Enhanced Accuracy: Aerial surveys allow a complete inspection of high-level building elements not typically accessible or visible from ground level. Furthermore, contemporary drones are equipped with cutting-edge imaging technology, providing precise measurements and high-quality visual data that enable surveyors to detect even the smallest defects.
Environmental Impact: Reducing the need for heavy machinery, drones present a more environmentally friendly option for building inspections.
