Our Services

Professional Drone Surveying and Aerial Data Services Across Scotland

At SkyView Surveys, we offer a full range of drone-based surveying, inspection and imaging services. Based in Alloa, we work across Central Scotland, including Stirling, Falkirk, Perth, Fife, Edinburgh, and Glasgow — delivering high-resolution data and detailed insights to clients across multiple industries.

Each of our services is designed to improve project efficiency, reduce on-site risks, and deliver highly accurate data faster and more affordably than traditional surveying methods.

Topographic and Land Surveys

We provide accurate, high-resolution topographic surveys using drone photogrammetry and GNSS control. This method captures large areas of land quickly and safely, generating detailed terrain and surface data ideal for planning, site development, and design.

Outputs include digital terrain models (DTMs), digital surface models (DSMs), and contour maps — all provided in CAD-ready formats such as DXF, DWG or LAS point clouds. Our surveys support architects, engineers, developers and local authorities with reliable data they can build on.

Ideal for:

Construction Progress Monitoring

Our regular aerial flyovers allow project managers, contractors and stakeholders to track progress, measure productivity and ensure timelines are being met. By capturing weekly, fortnightly or monthly site updates from above, you gain a clear and consistent visual record of your project at every stage.

All data can be overlaid with previous flights to compare change over time, and shared securely with your team or clients. Perfect for monthly reporting, risk assessments, or dispute resolution.

Suitable for:

Roof and Building Inspections

Our drone roof inspection service offers a safer, faster and more cost-effective alternative to scaffolding or cherry pickers. High-resolution aerial images allow you to assess hard-to-reach areas in detail, identifying damage, defects or wear without the need for manual access.

We regularly inspect commercial, industrial and residential roofs across Central Scotland, providing PDF reports and annotated imagery to support insurance claims, maintenance planning or property management.

Used by:

Volumetric Surveys and Stockpile Analysis

Using drone imagery and advanced photogrammetry, we calculate the volume of material in stockpiles, spoil heaps, cut-and-fill sites, or quarries with a high level of precision. This allows for accurate tracking of resources, earthworks progress, or bulk material movements across your site.

Our volumetric data supports both commercial decision-making and regulatory compliance, with outputs compatible with most GIS and CAD platforms.

Applications include:

3D Mapping and Digital Modelling

We create accurate 3D models of terrain, structures and environments using drone data. These photorealistic or mesh-based models are ideal for use in BIM workflows, planning submissions, and visualisation tasks.

Outputs can be exported as textured 3D meshes (OBJ), point clouds (LAS), orthophotos (GeoTIFF), or CAD overlays — depending on your project requirements.

Common uses include:

Thermal Drone Inspections

Our thermal imaging drone service allows for the non-invasive inspection of buildings, electrical installations, solar panels, and industrial systems. By identifying temperature anomalies, we can pinpoint areas of energy loss, moisture ingress, or potential equipment failure.

Thermal surveys are ideal for preventative maintenance, compliance with energy efficiency standards, or insurance assessments.

Typical use cases:

Infrastructure and Asset Inspections

We provide aerial surveys for bridges, powerlines, railways, wind turbines, communication towers and other critical infrastructure assets. Our drone inspections minimise disruption, remove the need for working at height, and provide a permanent digital record for maintenance teams or insurers.

Each inspection is tailored to the asset in question, with full reporting and georeferenced outputs available on request.

Clients include:

Custom Surveys and One-Off Projects

In addition to our standard services, we’re happy to work on bespoke survey or imaging projects. Whether you require time-lapse flyovers, marketing imagery, promotional videos, or complex terrain analysis — we have the experience, tools and flexibility to help.

If you’re unsure whether drone technology can support your project, we’re always happy to advise.
