Drone Surveys for Property & Construction

Using state-of-the-art aircraft and high-resolution cameras, Plowman Craven’s highly-trained pilots are fully certified by the Civil Aviation Authority to conduct drone surveys in even the most congested areas. With take-off clearance at just 5m and an in-flight clearance of 20m, we're used to operating in complex and challenging environments, collecting the accurate data required for our topographic surveys, 3D building models, property condition and inspection surveys.

Our drone survey division captures highly-accurate geospatial survey data and high-resolution imagery.

Working closely with our Property Development and Property Management teams, our UAV division captures highly-accurate geospatial survey data and high-resolution imagery from even the most challenging or inaccessible locations - with drone surveys taking a fraction of the time of traditional survey methods.

Flying Permissions

As one of the few companies in the UK to have Operational Safety Case (OSC) approval from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), we are authorised to use drones in even the most congested areas, including Central London. Having submitted a 280-page operating manual to the CAA, we are permitted to overfly people and property at a height of 25m, as well as taking off and landing from this distance. The basic CAA permission is 50m, which means we are able to capture much higher quality data.
