Commercial Property Inspections

Drone Imagery — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 21:36:22 +0000

Commercial property inspections using drone imagery

Aerial photographs can help commercial property teams record visible building features that are difficult to see from the ground. The inspection brief should focus on the specific maintenance questions being considered.

Record elevated building features

Roofs, chimneys, façades and other accessible high-level areas can be photographed from suitable viewpoints. Wider images help locate individual observations within the building.

Plan around a working site

Access, staff, visitors, traffic and nearby activity need to be considered. The flight plan may require temporary controls; the necessary arrangements are confirmed for the location.

Use the results with your specialists

Drone Property Inspections

Share the intended outputs with your surveyor or maintenance contractor. Drone imagery supports their assessment and does not replace hands-on investigation where that is required.

Discuss a commercial inspection

Send the site address, preferred dates and the images or data you need through our project enquiry form. We will confirm the scope, availability, deliverables and price before you book.

Commercial property inspections across Norfolk and the UK

We provide drone inspection imagery for commercial properties in Norfolk, Suffolk and East Anglia, with wider UK sites by arrangement. Send the address, building type and the roof or high-level features your maintenance team needs to see. For portfolios in several towns, include the site list so access, scheduling and deliverables can be coordinated.

Permission for Commercial Operations

Permission for Commercial Operations (PfCO) – UAS 8344

Drone flight planning and commercial operations

Drone Imagery Ltd have the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) “Permission for Commercial Operations” PfCO which means as a licensed commercial operator of UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles), we are governed and regulated by the CAA.

The PfCO is mandatory for anyone flying drones for commercial use in the UK along with drone public liability insurance. It is the basis of the drone photography laws in the U.K.

Drone Imagery Ltd are fully insured against injury and damage with £5 million public liability to fly at altitudes of up to 400 feet.

This page originally described Drone Imagery’s Permission for Commercial Operations (PfCO). That was the terminology used under an earlier UK framework; it should not be read as a statement of today’s requirements.

Safety for aerial drone flights is our number one priority. All of our pilots have passed the CAA-approved exams, ﬂight assessments, and hold the established industry Remote Pilot Qualiﬁcation (RPQ-s) for multi-rotor aircraft under 7kg.

The CAA approval regulations are very detailed but we are able to help you through the process of making an aerial shoot both legal and safe.

We do a detailed on-line preflight survey with location check that includes airspace restrictions, nearby airports and no fly zones to see if there are any flight restrictions we need to be aware of.

Each aerial photography job is risk assessed on an individual basis in accordance with our CAA approved operations manual. We include cordons, clearly marked landing area, and ground safety personnel. All aircraft are fitted with “return to home” safety features.

An operations plan for each job is written and checked before any ﬂights are undertaken.

On the day the pilot has final say when determining if flying conditions and the location can be “deemed safe to proceed”.

Check the requirements for the proposed flight

The CAA withdrew PfCO when the UK changed its drone regulations at the end of 2020. Current requirements depend on the operation. See the CAA guidance on flying drones for work for the current framework.

Planning a photography or inspection visit

We discuss the address, access, surrounding activity and intended imagery before confirming a project. Ask us for the current insurance and operational documentation relevant to your brief.

Conditions on the day

Weather, the site and any required permissions affect whether a flight can proceed. The pilot assesses conditions and the planned work before take-off.

A Guide To Flying Drone’s Safely

Drone Imagery — Thu, 27 Dec 2018 20:54:46 +0000

A guide to planning drone flights safely

Planning starts with the location and the purpose of the flight. Whether you are commissioning photographs or considering your own drone use, check current requirements before making arrangements.

Use current guidance

Requirements change and depend on the drone and operation. Start with the CAA drone guidance and use the relevant current instructions for your proposed flight.

Prepare the location information

For a commissioned project, send the address, access arrangements, surrounding activity and the images you need. Tell the operator about restrictions and people who may be affected.

Discuss practical limits

Weather, airspace and site conditions can change the plan. Agree how scheduling and any necessary rescheduling will be handled before the visit.

Arrange professional imagery

Send the site address, preferred dates and the images or data you need through our project enquiry form. We will confirm the scope, availability, deliverables and price before you book.
