Inspections play a key role in building management, planned maintenance work and ad-hoc land and property survey projects. In recent years, the way they have been carried out has changed thanks to the introduction of new technologies such as drones.

An aerial survey is a simple way of accessing an overall view of large areas from the air and at height. Commonly, an aerial survey is completed using a drone and this provides a cost-effective way for engineers, construction companies and surveyors to see in great detail the land or property in question.
