About Crucial Services
Reduce on-site risks & optimize workflows with cost-effective, comprehensive insights & analysis with our drone land surveying services tailored to your needs
Drone Land Surveying vs Traditional Land Surveying
Quicker
Drone land surveys can cover large areas in a fraction of the time required by traditional ground-based surveys. A photogrammetry survey with high-resolution aerial images and laser scanning can collect millions of points a second. 3D models can be generated rapidly, enabling faster project progression and reduced downtime.
Safer
With drone technology, there is no need for our land surveyors or other contractors to access dangerous unstable terrain or work at height. Drones can easily reach remote or difficult-to-navigate areas, reducing the risks associated with traditional surveying by removing boots from the ground and enhancing workplace safety.
Cheaper
Drone land surveys eliminate the need for costly equipment and labour for clients and for us on-site. Traditional land surveying methods are more invasive and see less. Drones can collect more data in less time. By increasing productivity, drone technology reduces overall project costs and ensures a cost-effective solution for our clients.

Promptness of response : David contacted me very quickly after my enquiry. I explained what I needed and we discussed the job. He returned a competitive quotation the next day which I accepted and the job was completed within a week.
Quality of service : David downloaded the survey within a couple of days of making it. While he was at the property he made suggestions about future work I was planning and was very helpful to one of the neighbours.
Value for money : Although not cheap, the survey was competitive, and was both quick and thorough. Much easier than having scaffolding and a physical examination.
Professionalism : David has a drone pilot’s licence, and is a chartered surveyor, so is able to give advice on future work needed. His handling of the drone and his explanations of what it was doing were fascinating.

We've worked well with David as a setting out engineer but recently got the opportunity to witness the firm's latest 3D modelling of a live site via drone capture and modelling software and was absolutely blown away!
The applications for this output are endless, capturing heritage assets and 3d models of museum pieces has been mooted BUT, with David a CAA Licenced pilot - the CDM Health and Safety aspects of the service really leap out at me:
Surveying a building after fire damage, no risk to the surveyor and much safer planning for the construction team, opportunities to save buildings which might otherwise be demolished. Surveying roofs and Chimneys, either after storm damage or for preventative maintenance - no scaffolding required, quicker, cheaper, SAFER....
So Fire Services, Insurance Underwriters, Home and Commercial Premises owners.... check out David's work and ask for a quote, you'll be stunned how much you save on finding out the true situation outside of your practical sight lines.

I've worked with Dave for almost 15 years. For some time we were colleagues but subsequently he has provided land and measured building surveying services to my clients. As well as his surveying skills I find that his wider understanding of and interest in what is required for particular jobs, in terms of scope and technology, results in his services being really valuable in producing accurate information that can be readily and usefully applied to the projects I work on.
