Construction and Inspection to deliver an integrated survey, modelling and digital delivery solution.<\/p><p>UAS surveys captured external areas and detailed roof-level information, while ground-based laser scanning provided accurate spatial information across the school sites and buildings. Together, both methods generated comprehensive point cloud datasets.<\/p><p>High-resolution orthophotos created from the UAS capture provided a detailed top-down view of each school, including roof layouts and surrounding hard and soft landscaping.<\/p><p>This information was particularly valuable for net zero planning, enabling consultants to understand roof condition and available roof space when assessing potential photovoltaic installations.<\/p><p>Ground-based scanning also generated 360\u00b0 panoramic imagery, giving stakeholders a detailed visual record of existing conditions that could be revisited remotely.<\/p><p>Captured information was then transformed into component-based BIM models and CAD information for practical use by architects, engineers and consultants, with relevant asset information incorporated to increase the long-term value of the digital record.<\/p><p>Project information was delivered through Easl, creating an accessible environment where stakeholders could visualise existing site and building conditions alongside the captured survey
