A Smarter, Safer Alternative to Traditional Inspections

Drone surveys have revolutionised the way building inspections are conducted, and with traditional inspections not always being viable, drones allow for a faster, safer, and more cost-effective inspection. For large or hard-to-reach areas, such as roofs, high-rise buildings, or extensive property portfolios, drone technology allows for a comprehensive overview without the need for scaffolding or elevated platforms. By capturing high-resolution aerial imagery and data, drone surveys can quickly identify issues that may not be visible from the ground, ensuring thorough assessments while minimising disruption.

Uncover Hidden Defects with Drone Inspections

At RAM, our drone survey services use state-of-the-art UAV technology to provide detailed inspections of your building’s hard-to-reach areas. By offering high-definition footage (up to 4K), thermal imaging, and 3D modelling, we identify potential defects that are invisible to the naked eye. Our licensed drone pilots provide precise, efficient, and safe inspections, significantly reducing the need for costly scaffolding or cherry pickers. With decades of experience in building consultancy, RAM ensures you receive actionable insights from your drone surveys, whether for defect identification, maintenance planning, or post-contract inspections.
