Drone Surveys that give you site visibility without delays, disruption, or risky access.
Our Drone Surveys help you capture accurate site data fast, so you can plan work, report progress, and make decisions with a clearer view of what’s really happening on site.
- Rapid capture for large or hard-to-access areas
- Visual outputs that support teams on site and in the office
- One partner alongside topo, utilities, CCTV drainage, GPR and CAD
This is for you if you’re…
- A Project / Pre-Construction Manager at a Tier 1 or Tier 2 contractor
- Managing sites where access, time, and safety constraints make traditional survey work slower or harder
You’ll recognise these problems
- You need accurate visuals for decision-making, but site walks don’t show the full picture
- You’re reporting progress to clients and stakeholders and need clear evidence
- You’ve got areas that are unsafe, restricted, or expensive to access
- You want fewer suppliers and cleaner outputs across the whole surveying package

FAQs
What is a drone survey used for?
To capture site imagery quickly and safely, especially across large areas or hard-to-access zones, and support planning and reporting.
Will a drone survey replace a topographical survey?
Not always. Drone outputs can support context and visuals. If you need detailed levels and features for design, you may still need a topo survey. We’ll advise on the scoping call.
Can you combine drone surveys with other survey work?
Yes. Many clients use Profind for drone plus topo, PAS128 utilities, CCTV drainage, GPR and CAD outputs.
How quickly can you mobilise?
It depends on site access, scope, and programme. We confirm timings on the scoping call.
Where do you cover?
Profind Surveys is based in Tamworth and focuses on the Midlands.
