At the beginning of 2020 we were contacted by the Trentham Estate to carry out a drone survey roof inspection for some derelict grade 2 listed buildings. A surveyor would also be present to view the photography and be on hand to make any special requests. The derelict buildings consisted of three buildings and a bell tower.

The Trentham Estate is a visitor attraction in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and consists of the main estate, new shopping areas, eateries and the Italian gardens.

103 Colmore Row, formerly known as National Westminster House, was a building on Colmore Row, Birmingham, England. The original building was designed by John Madin and was completed in October 1975 as offices and a banking hall for National Westminster Bank. After National Westminster Bank vacated the building it passed through several ownerships but failed to lease its offices. In 2008 a plan by then owners British Land to demolish the tower and replace with a taller modern equivalent was approved.

In 2017 we were asked by a film and commercial location agency to carry out some drone filming on a potential location in Winchester for a well known brand and film director. The summer of 2017 was amongst many dreadful English summers, heavy winds and very few summer days, however the commercial needed a location.

In May 2016 we were contacted by leading property developers St.Modwen to carry out regular monthly drone photographs at one of their commercial units development in Doncaster. The Parkside Business Park extends across 27 acres and is an established business location off Wheatley Hall Road, one of the main arterial routes in to Doncaster.

As the technology improves so the uses for drones increase, armed with an array of sensors, commercial drones are becoming a new source for digital information.

Construction projects are complicated, time-consuming & resource-intensive. But once complete, they are always worth it. So when technological advances reach the industry that offers the opportunity to manage large projects that little bit easier, why aren’t more people doing it?
