Material management is a daily consideration on a housing development. As excavation and construction progress, stockpiles grow, move and reduce. Understanding the quantities held on site helps contractors plan earthworks, assess material available for reuse and make informed decisions about removal or further deliveries. For this project, we used aerial...]]></description><link>https://www.uav-surveys.co.uk/post/drone-stockpile-surveying-on-a-norfolk-housing-development</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ac3851d0e8de61d1d0c963c</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2026 11:08:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/51d80e_f4790fd1dcbb47e1a02f0033c25f1894~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_941,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>UAV Surveys</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Drone Shoot Is Not a Survey]]></title><description><![CDATA[I want to put something on record, because I keep encountering the consequences of it on live projects. Across construction and infrastructure, clients are paying for drone surveys and receiving drone shoots. A pilot flies a site, captures several hundred attractive aerial images, delivers them in a folder, and invoices for a survey. The client signs it off because the images look professional and the site is clearly visible in them. Then, months later, a volume figure gets challenged.

In reality, that is probably the least interesting part of the process. The aircraft is simply the means of collecting the observations. The useful survey information comes later, when those observations are processed, positioned, checked and converted into a dataset that can actually be used by a surveyor, engineer or contractor.
