At Drone Discovery Ltd, we specialise in high-quality drone photography and videography for construction sites—capturing your project from planning through to final completion. Our drone footage provides a clear, professional perspective that supports progress tracking, documentation, and stakeholder engagement.
Whether you’re working on a residential development, commercial build, or large-scale infrastructure project, our construction drone services deliver the visuals and data you need—efficiently, safely, and affordably.
Why Use Drones on Construction Sites?
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) services are transforming the way construction companies operate. From capturing impressive site overviews to detailed surveys, aerial photography and drone videos offer an efficient and cost-effective way to document and manage a build.
Key Benefits of Construction Drone Photography and Video
High-resolution aerial photography of all stages of construction
2D/3D mapping and orthomosaic outputs for accurate site analysis
Automated missions can be saved and repeated, ensuring the same viewpoint and flight path are captured each time for consistent comparisons over time.
Visual content for client updates, marketing, and investor reports
Safer inspections of roofs, bridges, and elevated structures
Monthly or milestone-based progress tracking
Support for planning applications, quantity surveying, and CAD integration
Fully Certified and Safety-First Drone Operations
Our drone pilots are fully certified by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and experienced in operating safely within active construction environments. Every flight is backed by comprehensive risk assessments and safety protocols, ensuring compliance with UK regulations.
We work directly with site managers, project coordinators, and health & safety teams to ensure minimal disruption and maximum output.
