Drone surveying for fast, accurate site data
Drone Surveys .
TAG delivers precise aerial data for measurement, volumetrics, and site monitoring.
Drone surveying allows us to capture accurate site data quickly, particularly on large, difficult or hard to access sites. Our licensed drone pilots combine aerial photography with survey grade equipment to produce topographical surveys, volume calculations and site imagery you can rely on.
When drone surveys make sense
A drone survey is particularly useful on large sites, quarries, landfill or sites with restricted access, where a traditional ground survey would take considerably longer. We often use drone surveying alongside more traditional methods to get the best of both.
Aerial drone survey data can also be used for progress monitoring, volume calculations and general site imagery, giving you a useful record of a site at different points in a project.
Licensed, insured drone survey pilots
All of our drone surveying is carried out by trained and licensed pilots, following UK regulations for commercial drone flights. This means we can operate safely and legally, including around sensitive or restricted sites where extra permissions are needed.
Because drone survey data is processed by the same team that carries out our topographical surveys, the output is presented in a way that fits naturally alongside our other survey services.
DRONE SURVEYING SERVICES
Topographical Surveys
ACCURATE TERRAIN DATA FOR SMARTER PROJECT PLANNING.
Drone-based photogrammetry captures detailed information on natural and man-made features, creating an accurate 3D model of the terrain, including elevations and contours.
As-Built Surveys
VERIFY AND DOCUMENT COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION WITH PRECISION.
Detailed 3D site data captured with drones enables accurate As-Built surveys to compare finished structures against design plans — safer, faster, and fully remote.
Progress Monitoring
TRACK CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS WITH ACCURACY, SPEED, AND SAFETY.
Drones and 3D photogrammetry capture real-time site data, enabling precise progress monitoring, plan comparisons, and informed decision-making — all remotely.
Stockpile Surveys
PRECISE CONSTRUCTION INSIGHTS, DELIVERED REMOTELY IN REAL TIME.
TAG delivers fast, accurate stockpile measurements using drone photogrammetry — safer and more efficient than traditional surveys. Measure volumes, distances, heights, generate contours, annotate, and track assets in one platform.
3D Modelling Inspection
SMARTER TOOLS FOR CONSTRUCTION MONITORING AND DECISIONS.
3D modelling inspections use drone-captured imagery to create accurate digital models for detailed site analysis and assessment — enabling remote inspections without the need for physical site visits.
CAD Overlays
ENHANCE EFFICIENCY ACROSS DESIGN, PLANNING, BUILD, AND COMPLETION.
Overlay 3D photogrammetry with CAD files to visualise designs alongside real-time site data. Measure, annotate, and track volumes, distances, heights, contours, and equipment — all in one platform.
Cut and Fill Analysis
BOOST EFFICIENCY, ACCURACY, AND SAFETY IN SURVEYING AND ANALYSIS.
Drones equipped with LiDAR or photogrammetry perform cut and fill calculations, delivering precise earthwork data faster and safer than traditional methods.
Aerial Photography & Videography
CAPTURE STUNNING AERIAL VISUALS FOR INSIGHT AND DOCUMENTATION.
Drones provide high-resolution photography and videography of construction sites, delivering clear visual data for reporting, marketing, and project analysis — safely and efficiently.
FAQs About Drone Surveys
A drone survey is used to capture aerial data for topographical surveys, volume calculations, site progress monitoring and general site imagery, particularly on large or difficult to access sites.
When carried out correctly and combined with ground control points, drone surveying can achieve high levels of accuracy suitable for most topographical survey and design purposes.
Cost depends on the size of the site and what the survey is being used for. Contact us with your project details and we will provide a price.
Yes. All drone surveying is carried out by trained and licensed pilots operating in line with UK drone regulations.
Yes. Drone surveying is particularly useful for large sites, quarries and sites with restricted or difficult access where a ground survey alone would take much longer.
