Building Surveying and Drone Inspection Services
What we do
Expert Surveying
We offer expert and impartial surveying services across central Scotland, combining traditional building inspection methods with cutting-edge drone technology. A proven background in the repair and maintenance of traditional buildings means we bring a fresh approach to surveying. Our clients include homeowners, tenement owners, architects and surveyors, estate agents, property factors, and building contractors.
Regulated Services
As a practice regulated by RICS, our clients can rest assured that we consistently deliver a professional and reliable service. Drawing on years of experience in the built heritage sector we specialise in surveying traditional buildings constructed of stone and lime mortars. Our drone pilots are authorised by the CAA and have logged hundreds of hours flight time over a wide variety of building types.
Concise Reporting
We write comprehensive survey reports that are clear and easy to read, making it simple to find information, identify repair needs, and set priorities. Viewable on any device - phone, tablet, or PC - our digital reports are interactive, with zoomable photos, videos, and quick bookmarks. Clients can also share reports by email with a simple click of a button or download them as PDFs, making them ideal for buildings in shared ownership.
