Drone Survey Devon
Building Inspection
A wider aerial look at a building, not roof only: elevations, grounds and outbuildings in one visit, covered anywhere in the county.
Sometimes the question is bigger than the roof. A managing agent might want the whole envelope of a building looked at, or a landowner might want outbuildings and boundaries covered alongside the main house. This service covers the building as a whole rather than one surface.
The same fixed price, travel included, and 48 hour turnaround applies whether the building is a single farmhouse outside Chard or a block with several elevations in Plymouth.
What is included
- All elevations photographed, not roof only
- Grounds, boundaries and outbuildings covered in the same visit
- Travel across the county included in the fixed price
- A written report within 48 hours with images by elevation
- Suited to portfolios, blocks and larger rural properties
Who this tends to suit
Managing agents with a block to record, landowners with outbuildings and boundaries to check, and anyone buying a rural property where the roof is only part of what needs a look. The county wide coverage means this works as well for a farm near Holsworthy as it does for a property in Newton Abbot.

How a building inspection runs
- Step 1
Scope agreed
What is being covered gets agreed before booking, whether that is one building or a small group of addresses close together.
- Step 2
The flight
Each elevation and the surrounding site covered methodically, with more time allowed than a roof only survey.
- Step 3
The report
Images organised by elevation and area, with a written summary, inside 48 hours.

Building Inspection questions
- Can several buildings on one site be covered together?
- Yes, and it is a common request for farms and small estates. The scope gets agreed up front so the quote reflects what is actually being flown.
