Cardiff and Bristol Drone Inspections
From our Cardiff base, PointBIM delivers CAA-approved drone surveys across Wales and South West England. We capture accurate aerial data of roofs, façades, and external features, providing a safe and efficient alternative to scaffold or manual inspection.
Why Use Drone Surveys?
Drone surveys add value where traditional methods are slow, disruptive, or unsafe. Key benefits:
- Safe Access – inspect hard-to-reach areas without scaffolding.
- Cost-Effective – reduce the need for physical access equipment.
- Speed – quick data capture across large or tall buildings.
- Integration – combine aerial imagery with ground-based point cloud data for a complete picture.
Aerial Inspections and Data Capture
Our drone surveys are used for:
- Photographic Roof Inspections – identify defects, measure roof layouts, and confirm conditions without scaffolding or cherry pickers.
- Façade Surveys – capture detailed imagery of elevations and high-level features.
- Photogrammetry (on request) – generate 3D roof-level models that can be aligned with terrestrial laser scans for complete datasets.
Licensed and Approved Operations
We are CAA-approved for commercial drone operations in the UK. All flights are carried out under the correct permissions, with full insurance and risk assessments in place. This ensures surveys meet legal and safety requirements while providing clients with professional deliverables.
What You Receive
Depending on the project, outputs can include:
- High-resolution aerial photographs
- Condition survey imagery for building surveyors
- Annotated roof plans or reports
- Photogrammetry outputs (mesh or point cloud) – where required
Typical Drone Survey Projects
We provide drone surveys for:
- Building surveyors needing roof inspections
- Architects requiring façade or roof layouts for design work
- Developers or estates teams needing condition imagery for due diligence or planning
