I have a requirement to survey a building in the Swansea area. It is burned out and our Engineer needs to report on the extent of the damage.

The cost of scaffolding is just out of the question so we thought..... Why not use a drone?

Does anyone have experience of this or indeed does anyone have a drone that would be suitable for doing the job?

Max altitude involved is no more than 20 Metres but picture quality needs to be good and recordable.

Any ideas or help would be gratefully received.

Thanks Andrew. I'm not against the professional route, subject to costs of course, but most of the flying would be within the perimeter of the building's shell and all of it within the site boundary.

Maybe the answer is to buy one for the job but if any of the PH drone flyers fancy the 'amateur' job for beer money plus then that'd be great news.

Thank you all. Michael, I'll PM with some more detail if I may. SAB888 I would be grateful for a contact with the firm you mention. If local may be just the job for us.
