Strategic Insight for custodians

With finite funds and complex fabric, objective drone data shows exactly where attention is needed first, from active damp and failing leadwork to unsafe trees or masonry. Clear visuals and measurements replace guesswork so committees can justify decisions and sequence repairs with confidence.

High-resolution imagery, thermal maps and 3D models make grant applications and faculty or consent submissions more compelling than written descriptions alone. Decision-makers and donors can see the issue and urgency at a glance, building trust, transparency, and momentum for action.

Over time, this builds a permanent digital archive of the building and grounds, invaluable for conservation, research, and interpretation.
