Drone Survey Services – Accurate Aerial Data for Your Project
Drone surveys provide fast, accurate, and cost-effective site data collection. Our UAV services capture high-resolution imagery and generate 2D/3D maps, point clouds, and digital terrain models—reducing the need for manual surveying and speeding up project delivery.
Why Choose Us
Here’s why contractors, consultants, and developers rely on us for drone survey services.
Accurate Drone Captures
Capture aerial imagery and topographic data with centimeter-level accuracy.
Licensed Drone Operators
All flights are conducted by CAAS-certified UAV pilots and qualified surveyors.
BIM & GIS Integration
Deliverables are compatible with CAD, BIM, and GIS platforms including Revit, Civil 3D, and ArcGIS—ready for coordination and compliance checks.
Why Use Drone Surveys
Practical applications of drone technology in construction and operations management workflows.
Digital Terrain Models for Planning
Generate accurate overviews of existing site conditions to support construction and master planning. Overlay BIM models onto drone-captured terrain data to assess design suitability against real-world conditions— reducing the need to send teams of engineers on site.
Construction Progress Tracking
Document project milestones with overhead drone flights at predefined intervals. Capture visual records of site progress that can be submitted as supporting evidence for payment claims and stakeholder reporting.
Facade Inspection
Automate circular flight paths around multi-story buildings to capture high-resolution imagery of façades. Convert these images into point-clouds for precise deviation analysis, defect identification, and quality assurance reporting.
Frequently asked questions
- Can you conduct drone surveys in Singapore?
- Yes. For commercial drone surveys in Singapore, a UA Operator Permit (OP), a Class 1 Activity Permit (AP1) for each flight, and an Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence (UAPL) (or Basic Training Certificate, if eligible) are required. Our certified operators manage all permit applications on your behalf.
- What types of surveys can drones perform?
- Drones are suitable for topographic mapping, construction progress monitoring, volumetric stockpile analysis, roof and façade inspections, and environmental or site condition surveys.
- Are drone surveys recognized for regulatory submissions?
- Yes, drone survey outputs are widely accepted as supporting references. However, certain submissions may still require validation by a licensed surveyor in line with URA, BCA, or LTA requirements.
- How accurate is drone survey data?
- With the use of ground control points (GCPs), drone surveys typically achieve 2–5 cm accuracy. This level of precision is ideal for rapid data capture where sub-centimeter accuracy is not essential.
- What outputs will I receive?
- Deliverables commonly include high-resolution orthophotos, point clouds (LAS/PLY/E57), 3D meshes, and BIM/CAD/GIS-compatible formats such as DWG, DXF, and GeoTIFF.
- Can the drone survey data be linked to my BIM model?
- Yes. Point clouds, digital terrain models, and other drone-derived data can be federated seamlessly into your BIM environment for coordination and analysis.
