Frequently Asked Question

Clear pictures of hard to reach places

  • How often can you visit a construction site?

    We can provide a one-off visit or return at agreed stages throughout the project. Regular visits can use consistent viewpoints, making it easier to see and document progress over time.

  • What do I receive after each drone visit?

    You'll receive organised high-resolution aerial photographs and, where requested, 4K video covering the agreed areas and viewpoints. Files are delivered digitally and can be shared with project teams, clients and stakeholders.

  • Can you fly on an active construction site?

    Yes, where the site and conditions allow the flight to be carried out safely and legally. We review the location, airspace, access and site requirements before each project and coordinate with the appropriate site contact.

  • Can drone imagery replace a professional construction survey?

    No. OptyDigitals Drone provides aerial photography and video rather than engineering, structural or surveying assessments. Our imagery can provide a useful visual record and can be shared with your architect, surveyor, engineer or other qualified professional.
