Property surveying applications for low level aerial photography by alti-pix.com

Property Surveying

The nature of the alti-pix system makes us an ideal choice for a variety of property surveying requirements. Based on both cost and results our images enable far more organisations to consider the benefits of our unique form of 'aerial' photography.

Roof Surveys

An integral part of a building survey is an inspection of the property's roof. However, climbing ladders and crawling across slippery tiles is a risky business for all parties concerned - especially in light of today's compensation culture.

A much safer - and simpler - solution is for alti-pix to carry out a photographic survey. Within a matter of minutes our equipment can be looking down on a roof, zooming in on the areas of concern. We can carry out these surveys independently, or alternatively, you or a member of your staff can be on hand to direct our camera to the specific area of interest.

Planning Issues

Both planning applications and appeals can be greatly assisted by photographs from alti-pix. These can help to set the scene and assist the planning committee to visualise the proposed scheme far more effectively than ground level images.

We can even help to allay surrounding householder's concerns over loss of privacy by taking photographs from specific heights to show exactly what can, and can not be seen, from the windows of the proposed development.

Boundary Disputes

Aerial photographs often assist in the settlement of boundary disputes, helping to illustrate the point at issue. However, in built-up areas aircraft can rarely operate low enough to provide satisfactory evidence and satellite imagery rarely has an adequate resolution to be able to zoom in on the boundary concerned.

Photographs from alti-pix can provide the ideal solution. They are taken low enough to show clearly recognisable features and details - but high enough to provide a clear overview of the issue at hand.

Insurance Claims

In the case of an insurance claim photographs often provide vital evidence and important details that can not be conveyed in writing. Because our equipment can quickly and easily photograph details that are not visible from the ground, our images can be of great assistance when submitting a claim. This will help lead to a swift settlement saving both time and money.

Building Surveys

The external condition of old and historic buildings need to be closely monitored if they are to survive for the benefit of future generations. However, traditional survey methods require either scaffolding, heavy plant equipment or abseiling teams - all of which are expensive and time consuming in comparison to a photographic survey by alti-pix.

Our equipment can be set up quickly and without touching the fabric of the building. This enables a surveyor to view large areas on a ground based monitor. When areas of concern are identified our equipment can zoom in to record detailed photographs for further inspection.

Construction

A regular series of alti-pix images can form an invaluable and detailed record of the various aspects of a build. These images are also an easy and effective way to keep senior managers, shareholders or investors informed of on-site progress. If required, images can be supplied electronically enabling them to be emailed to any location worldwide within minutes of receipt.
