THEIR CHALLENGE
Establish a B2B relationship with a trusted in partner to supply fast turnaround aerial imagery in higher-risk environments
Inaccessible roof inspection, especially in commercial and busy town and city centres can be challenging. Traditional techniques using cherry pickers is complex and costly when compared to drone imagery. We worked with Cushman and Wakefield to develop a B2B relationship which provided a preferential pricing model and rapid call-out service so that they could pass on best value to their clients and customers. We are also able to save the need for them to send a surveyor each time to the site, by remotely providing the documentation.
Trusted to be safe and to de-risk in complex urban areas
Cushman and Wakefield chose to work with South West Aerial Surveys Ltd for a number of reasons. We have substantial experience in de-risking our operations through our bespoke flight planning systems and our extensive flying hours. In complex and higher-risk environments we always use an multi-person team and have capacity for different types of survey and inspection work in a range of locations. We carry £5 million public legibility insurance and have a team of commercial drone pilots working under our Operational Authorisation which is regulated and annually audited by the CAA.
