Surveying & Construction

Scan-to-BIM and measured building surveys share a common pressure point: the gap between site and desk. Data captured on site has to travel through post-processing, registration, and modelling before it becomes useful — and every weakness in the capture stage adds time, cost and risk of return visits to that journey. Mobile mapping changes where […]

Traditional terrestrial laser scanning earned its place in surveying for good reasons. It is accurate, well-understood by clients, and supported by established workflows that survey teams have built practices around over many years. The question is not whether it works – it does – but whether it is always the right tool for every job. […]

UK survey teams are being asked to do more with the same resource. Larger sites, tighter deadlines, fewer return visits, and clients who expect deliverable-ready data rather than raw files. RTK SLAM is becoming an important part of that conversation – not because it replaces every existing tool, but because it closes a real gap […]

Survey accuracy does not start in the processing software. It starts with the pilot making competent decisions on site. Drones have become part of modern surveying, construction progress monitoring, mapping and site inspection. The commercial argument is well understood: faster data capture, less site disruption, safer access and better visibility. But professional drone surveying depends […]

Multispectral drones have surged in popularity as businesses and researchers uncover the vast potential of data collection offered by these cameras, capturing invaluable details that are invisible to the naked eye. These advanced systems capture data across multiple light spectrums, unveiling details of in water and on land that can’t be seen with the naked […]
