Drone Surveys
At What360 we provide professional drone surveying services for the construction and demolition industries, delivering accurate aerial data to support planning, documentation, and site analysis.
Using high-resolution drone imagery and advanced photogrammetry processing, we produce detailed orthomosaic maps, 3D models, and inspection imagery of buildings and sites. These outputs help project teams understand existing conditions, plan works safely, and improve decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
Drone surveys offer a fast and cost-effective way to capture accurate site data without the need for scaffolding, access equipment, or disruptive site inspections. Our aerial surveys can be used for pre-construction planning, tender preparation, structural inspection, demolition planning, and progress monitoring.
Survey Services
Orthomosaic Site Mapping
High-resolution aerial maps of buildings and sites suitable for planning, tender documentation, and site logistics.
​
3D Photogrammetry Models
Detailed three-dimensional models that allow project teams to visualise structures, take measurements, and better understand site conditions.
​
Roof and Structural Inspections
Close-up aerial imagery of roofs, façades, and structural elements to support construction assessments and demolition planning.
​
All drone operations are conducted safely and in accordance with regulations set by the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the UK Drone and Model Aircraft Code. Data is processed and managed in line with UK GDPR requirements.
Whether supporting early feasibility studies, tender submissions, demolition planning, or ongoing construction monitoring, What360 provides reliable aerial survey data to help projects move forward with confidence.
Tender Preparation
Drone Surveys for Tender Preparation
Preparing an accurate tender often depends on having reliable information about the existing building and site conditions. What360 provides fast and detailed drone surveys to help contractors, demolition companies, and consultants gather the information they need before submitting a bid.
​
Our aerial surveys provide a clear overview of buildings, structures, and surrounding site constraints, allowing estimators and project teams to better understand the scope of works before committing to a price.
​
By capturing high-resolution aerial imagery and photogrammetry data, we can produce detailed orthomosaic maps, 3D models, and inspection imagery that support tender planning and risk assessment.
​
How drone surveys help during tender stage​
​
Understand site constraints
Aerial mapping allows contractors to assess access routes, surrounding buildings, and potential logistical challenges before work begins.
​
Review building condition
Close-up aerial imagery of roofs, plant equipment, and structures helps teams understand demolition or refurbishment risks without the need for costly access equipment.
Improve cost accuracy
Detailed site imagery and 3D models provide valuable information for estimating demolition volumes, crane positions, site setup, and sequencing of works.
Reduce tender risk
Having reliable site information before submitting a tender reduces the chance of unexpected issues once the project begins.
​
Typical tender survey deliverables
Depending on the project, we can provide:
-
High-resolution orthomosaic site plans
-
3D photogrammetry models of buildings and structures
-
Detailed roof and structural inspection imagery
-
Site overview imagery for planning and documentation
Drone surveys can typically be completed quickly, allowing contractors to obtain critical site information within tight tender deadlines.
​
All aerial operations are conducted safely and in accordance with the requirements of the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the UK Drone and Model Aircraft Code, with data managed in line with UK GDPR. Site access and property permissions must be obtained by the client or their authorised representative prior to aerial survey operations.
