Where capture
met consequence.

Representative project scenarios across infrastructure, housing, property, public sector and creative — illustrating the kind of work and outcomes our methodology supports. These are illustrative examples, not verified client case studies; real anonymised case studies will be published as they become available.

Illustrative examples

The scenarios below are representative examples of the work our methodology supports — not verified, completed client case studies. Sectors, figures and outcomes are illustrative. We'll publish real anonymised case studies as they're released for use.

Illustrative example Infrastructure Corridor mapping PPK survey

M-corridor culvert survey.
14 km, 11 structures.

Sector
Highways
Output
Point cloud + per-asset pack
Duration
3 days on site
Coverage
14 km · 11 structures

Example scenario

In this scenario, a highways operator needs a co-referenced survey of a 14-km corridor including 11 hidden culvert structures, ahead of a major refurbishment scope. Traditional ground survey would have required lane closures, traffic management and weeks of access.

Method

PPK-controlled drone photogrammetry across the corridor, supplemented with terrestrial reality capture at each culvert head and tail wall. Single coordinate frame referenced to OSGB36 throughout.

Output

Single registered point cloud, orthomosaic, per-culvert condition pack with annotated defects, and a web-published interactive corridor viewer for stakeholder access.

Illustrative commercial value

Substantial reduction in survey access cost versus a ground-only method, with faster refurbishment scoping and no traffic-management requirement.

Illustrative social value

Two technician roles delivered through the SBS workforce pathway across capture and processing phases. Evidence pack supplied for client framework reporting.

Illustrative example Housing Thermal PAS 2035

Retrofit baseline.
340 dwellings, one thermal pass.

Sector
Social housing
Stock
340 dwellings
Output
Thermal mosaic + per-dwelling pack
Duration
5 capture nights

Example scenario

In this scenario, a housing provider preparing a 340-home retrofit programme needs defensible thermal baseline data — without ground-team access to every roof and gable, and within the cold-weather window when thermal contrast is usable.

Method

Coordinated multi-night drone-thermal capture across the estate, with calibrated radiometric IR and visible-light pairs at every elevation. Output reprojected to a single estate-wide thermal mosaic, then split into per-dwelling packs.

Output

Estate thermal mosaic, per-dwelling visible + thermal pack, defect register, and PAS 2035-aligned assessor input ready for retrofit design teams.

Illustrative commercial value

Single supplier, single record across whole stock. Retrofit assessor productivity uplift via consistent input data. Reduced ground access requirements.

Illustrative social value

Three roles deployed through the SBS pathway across capture and processing. Local spend tracked. Evidence pack aligned to UK Social Value frameworks and PPN 06/20 procurement requirements for the provider's annual report.

Illustrative example Property Schedule of condition Heritage

Listed facade,
pre-works schedule of condition.

Sector
Heritage property
Building
Grade II listed
Output
SOC pack + 3D facade mesh
Duration
1 day on site

Example scenario

In this scenario, a property owner facing demolition of the adjacent building needs a comprehensive, legally-defensible record of a grade-II listed facade — at a fidelity that would survive any future dispute over piling-induced damage.

Method

Combined drone aerial capture and ground photogrammetry across the full facade. Geo-tagged, timestamped, indexed against a numbered location plan. Output processed into both a PDF schedule and a textured 3D mesh for spatial reference.

Output

Indexed PDF schedule of condition, full-resolution image archive, methodology statement, location plan and 3D photogrammetric facade mesh — retained under 7-year evidentiary archive.

Illustrative commercial value

Defensible record at a fraction of comparable scaffold-and-photographer cost. Adjacent works proceeded with quantified, agreed baseline.

Illustrative social value

Pathway technician deployed in capture support and processing roles. Evidence pack supplied.
