Window Surveys

Using drones for window surveys is a rapidly expanding aspect of property assessment and maintenance. In the past, this task was carried out manually, typically by surveyors or maintenance workers who often had to navigate challenging and hazardous conditions. Nowadays, the employment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), for this purpose can provide several significant advantages, including operational efficiency and accuracy, reduced risks, minimising disruption and time and cost efficiency savings. Our drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras can capture detailed images or videos of windows, making it easier to spot defects and damages.

Conducting window surveys with drones eliminates the need for manual access, reducing risks associated with working at height and improving safety. In contrast to traditional manual surveys, which often require the use of ladders, scaffolding, or cherry pickers, drones can easily reach high or difficult-to-access windows without posing a safety risk to surveyors.

Drone surveys can significantly reduce the time taken to conduct a window survey. What might take a team of surveyors a day or more can often be done in a matter of hours by a drone. This faster turnaround time can save significant resources in both time and money, especially when you consider the reduction in costs related to equipment hire and manpower. Drone surveys are less intrusive and disruptive than manual surveys. There’s no need to erect scaffolding or to block off areas of the building or surrounding areas for safety reasons. Drones can quickly and efficiently complete a survey with minimal disturbance to building occupants or nearby pedestrians.

In conclusion, drones offer a modern, efficient, and safe approach to carrying out window surveys. By harnessing this technology, businesses can benefit from substantial cost and time savings, enhanced safety, and detailed, accurate reporting. This is yet another example of how drone technology is revolutionising the way we approach traditional industries.
