How can Housing Associations reduce costs for the survey and inspection of the roofs of buildings they manage?
However, even though it is an inevitable cost, there is
no reason why the cost can’t be reduced.
And it seems as though the use of drones can help with
reducing costs. Quote 4 Drones can
explain why:
Money Saving
Instead of
hiring, erecting and taking down of scaffolding in a bid to inspect roofs,
which can run in to the thousands, a Drone is a cheaper option in the long run.
But Quote 4 Drone can now explain the
benefits of using Drones when using this method of high quality technology.
C-Soars, a construction
company who uses drones for inspection states that they take video and stills
footage of tiles, chimneys, gutters, and facias, without interfering with
residents. Co-founder Tony Piedade says: ‘We remove the need for expensive
scaffolding to be erected and reduce the inconvenience, impact and intrusion on
local communities, not to mention removing the risks associated with working at
height. All of our work is GDPR compliant and our policies and processes are
designed to ensure full transparency for both our client and all residents
affected.’
According to the PwC, (Price Water
house Coopers), drones will save the UK economy an estimated £16 billion.
Time Saving On Site
A mapping Drone can map out a
site, for example a 100 acre site, in a little over 20 minutes in comparison to
a survey team which will take up to two months to achieve the same result.
Reducing the need to have a complete survey team, will now eliminate the
constant salary flow of each team member.
Healthy & Safety
Before work can be carried
out for inspection, a lengthy list of regulations first need to be met to
ensure each contractor is safe while on site.
But with the use of drone
technology, this costly situation is massively reduced as it requires one
person to man the drone. Not only that, but, constant updates can be provided
from continual data collection.
