Drone Surveys & Inspection Oxford
Drone Surveys Oxford
Here at Drone Site Surveys, we enable the construction industry to work smarter by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/Drones) to inspect, measure, and map areas without the need for time-consuming and expensive equipment hire. By having a drone survey across Oxford, you negate the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers, or other ways of viewing your building or construction site at height.
As a CAA-approved drone company and a Construction Line Gold-accredited business, we have undertaken 100’s of drone surveys across Oxford and the Oxfordshire region.
Using the most modern drone equipment we can provide images and video of your structures at incredible heights. All of our media is in super high resolution with images and video available up to 4K. We can then back these images with a report for you and your team to understand issues that require further invasive inspection.

Oxford
Oxford is the only city in Oxfordshire, home to Oxford University and sits on the banks of the River Thames. With a population of 150,000 Oxford and the county town of Oxfordshire, Oxford is located 65 miles north of Southampton, 55 miles northwest of London, and 60 miles southeast of Birmingham.
Oxford has a number of airspace restrictions locally, with the CTR of RAF Brize Norton extending up to Wytham and Botley just west of the A34. London Oxford Airport sits just to the north of the city and has an FRZ (Flight Restriction Zone extending from Tackley in the NE to Cassington in the SW with the airfield at Weston on the Green used by the RAF for parachute training creating another FRZ region.
Oxford is a very busy city, with both a large student population and is very popular with tourists. As with all large towns and cities, there will be numerous local considerations that should be factored into your planning along with the usual concerns when flying around towns and cities such as congestion, travel networks, etc. It is also important that rail networks should always be factored into your planning as Network Rail has their own regulations regarding drones around its property in addition to CAA regulations.
While drone flights require greater planning and authorisation in and around town centres, this does not mean that we are unable to fly in these areas. Our trained pilots, alongside our experienced administrative team, will work together to gain the permissions to carry out work in the trickiest of locations!
Drone Inspections Oxford
If you don’t require a report you may just wish to inspect your site in Oxford. Our pilots can work with you or your surveyors to inspect the whole building or focus on the sections most important to you. With our technology, we have systems such as live streaming allowing viewing by wearing a virtual reality headset. Allowing you to attend the site and direct our pilots to inspect areas you wish. The remote streaming allows you and your team to watch the drone inspection take place. Having direct communication with the pilot you can again point us in the right direction or get a closer more detailed look at your assets.
With our drone inspections, we deliver all footage in high quality with resolutions up to 4K available. Inspecting your assets from the air using drones provides a cheaper, faster, and more reliable way of inspection without the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers, or other expensive equipment. Not only that, from a site visit to the delivery of images, can be done within a 48-hour turnaround. Our drone inspections are delivered via a secure, password-secure URL for you to share with your team, suppliers, or contractors that may be carrying out repairs.

Drone Mapping Oxford
Along with our surveys and inspection, we can provide in-depth mapping for your site. Using high-quality images, high-precision GPS, and photogrammetry, we can map your site so that you don’t need to visit.
This highly detailed map can help solve clarity issues along with being able to see contour lines, and accurate borders (accurate to 1cm). These can then be overlaid onto images to allow you to build up the ultimate picture of your construction site. You can even combine our drone mapping with construction site progress and time-lapse video to provide you with an ultimate overview of your construction progress from start to finish.
