FAQs
Property developers — questions we hear
Can we use the imagery for planning discharge?
Yes — dated, GPS-logged imagery is regularly accepted by local planning departments as condition-discharge evidence.
Can we get a monthly cadence?
Monthly is the default for most schemes; major civils stages can be ramped to fortnightly by prior arrangement.
What compliance do you handle?
CAA flight authorisations, RAMS per site, insurance certificates issued to the principal contractor.
Do we need to be on site with you?
No — inductions and access briefings can happen remotely; site managers are notified 24 hours ahead of every visit.
What's the typical buying cycle for property developers?
Scheme-length — usually 12–36 months from groundwork to handover.
