A point cloud is the raw output from photogrammetry — millions of precisely measured 3D points that represent every surface captured during a survey. Rather than a finished model or image, it's the underlying data layer that everything else is built from.

Point clouds are valuable because they're flexible — you can measure distances and angles directly, extract cross-sections, perform volume calculations, or feed the data into your own analysis software (CAD, GIS, engineering tools). They're also the foundation for generating 3D models, DEMs, and other processed outputs.

Point clouds are typically delivered in industry-standard formats (LAS, LAZ, XYZ) that work with most professional surveying and engineering software. They work well for detailed site documentation, reverse engineering existing structures, or giving your team the raw data to analyse as needed.

A 3D model turns raw drone imagery into a fully textured, measurable digital twin of a site, building, or structure. Rather than a flat photo, it's a model you can rotate, zoom into, and view from any angle — useful for visualising work before it's carried out, documenting a site as it currently stands, or giving a client a clear view of somewhere they can't easily access themselves.

Beyond construction and survey work, this kind of model is increasingly used in heritage recording, architecture, property marketing, and insurance documentation.

It can range from a simple visual walkthrough model through to a highly detailed model suitable for measurement and analysis, with outputs tailored to the purpose — a lightweight model for viewing and presentation, or a more detailed one where accuracy and measurement matter.

Volumetric surveying is simply about measuring quantity — how much material is actually there, whether that's a stockpile of aggregate, a cutting, or an embankment. It can cover anything from analysing a single pile in a stockyard, to cut and fill analysis, to monitoring progress across an entire site over time.

Using RTK-accurate drone survey data, we can tell you precisely how many tonnes are sat in a pile, track how that figure changes over time, or work out exactly how much material needs moving to get a site to the right level.

Where a traditional estimate might get you close, a proper volumetric survey gets you an accurate number you can rely on — for stock control, billing, or planning the next phase of a job.

High-resolution aerial imagery makes it possible to inspect roofs, buildings, and other structures closely — spotting damage, wear, or areas of concern — without the cost, time, or risk of scaffolding, cherry pickers, or ladders. It's particularly useful for roofs, structures, or sites that are difficult or hazardous to access by other means. This can cover a single roof, a wider condition check across a site, or a portfolio of buildings needing periodic review.

Outputs are built around what's actually found on site, and typically include annotated high-resolution imagery highlighting any issues, alongside a written summary suitable for passing on to a surveyor, engineer, contractor or insurer.

Built from the same DEM data, slope and aspect models reveal how a site behaves rather than just how it's shaped. Slope shows how steep the ground is at any given point — useful for understanding drainage, erosion risk, or where water is likely to collect or run off. Aspect shows which direction a surface faces, which matters wherever sunlight or exposure comes into play.

This makes slope and aspect analysis particularly useful for agricultural land management, drainage and erosion planning, and assessing a site's suitability for solar panel installation — where orientation and gradient can directly affect performance. 

It can also support broader land management and planning decisions, wherever how a site faces or falls is as important as its overall shape.

We capture high-resolution aerial imagery and video designed for documentation and storytelling. Aerial photography accesses detail and context that ground-level images miss, and reaches areas difficult or hazardous to access by other means.

Outputs range from individual photographs through to complete photo mosaics stitched together to show an entire site in one image. We can also offer aerial videography — useful for promotional films, marketing, documentation, social media sequences, architectural showcases, planning applications, insurance claims, construction progress records, or simply having an accurate visual record of your site.
