Aerial photography is a great way to showcase a larger commercial property, demonstrating the size of the plot and the facilities available. This was definitely the case with a local Jaguar dealership who wanted to show the size of their real estate and the amount of cars that they keep in stock as well as the size of their warehouse.  So we took a flight over the property on a Sunday [...]

We have been working with this particular asset management company for some months now, providing them with updated photographs of their properties working across the UK.  On this occasion, we grouped together these three properties in Nottingham, Coventry and Bury to create a small two day 'Northern Tour' to maximise their photography investment with us. Not all locations are suitable for drone photography as there are strict legal requirements governing where we are able [...]

This morning's trip to the 'office' was short which was lovely.  Working locally in Sussex, we needed to complete the aerial component of the property photography (we were also carrying out ground level photography) before the store in question was open for business.  So it was a bright and early start for us - that's not unusual actually.  Quite a lot of drone photography even takes place at night when you're talking about thermal imaging - so we're used [...]

As part of our ongoing work with a prominent London asset management company, we are working across the UK to provide them with images of their property portfolio. This week, we have been staying close to home in Sussex to capture a property in Haywards Heath that is currently being used as an office building.  We work with them and the building's managers to provide a mix of aerial and ground based photography to offer a complete picture of [...]

As part of a recent series of flights to capture photo and video of this huge construction site, this was a separate flight to capture the impressive glass front of the building from a separate location.  This flight took place on a Sunday afternoon as the clients wanted the site to be free of construction workers and vehicles. We had negotiated with a local car garage to use their forecourt out [...]

The construction industry has been one of the leaders in embracing the advantages UAVs or drones have to offer in assessing risk, reporting to all parties, providing risk free and convenient inspection and also in providing promotional material for the construction firm and the company that will be moving into the finished building. Building Inspection & Surveys The fact that a drone can quickly access areas that would otherwise require heavy lifting equipment, scaffolding and platforms and also extensive [...]

Thermal imaging cameras can provide a wealth of information that would remain hidden from the naked eye, creating opportunities for preventative maintenance, cost savings, and enhanced asset management in many areas. We are based in Sussex but operate nationwide with our state of the art equipment, including our high end thermal imaging camera  – the ZenMuse which combines the thermal imaging capabilities of FLIR with the gimbal stabilisation of DJI to provide high quality, rapidly deployable aerial thermal [...]

Managing a commercial property portfolio is a demanding and competitive area and marketing these assets to potential investors is a key part of any successful management strategy. Aerial footage, now achievable via UAVs or drones, offers an incredible tool for property marketing. It allows the asset to be shown within its environment which can be vital in showcasing a property's selling points.  It also offers a unique and eye catching perspective and can display a property's unique features [...]
