How Yellow Lizard Media Used a Drone to Survey a London Building for Buglar Group

November 17, 2022

Innovative Aerial Surveys with Yellow Lizard Media

At Yellow Lizard Media, we have worked with Buglar Group on a variety of projects across Hertfordshire, including Hemel Hempstead and St Albans. Our work has ranged from showcasing completed builds to potential buyers, to documenting projects in progress to highlight how developments unfold.

Earlier this year, Buglar Group approached us with a very different challenge. They wanted to survey a very tall building in London, including hard-to-reach areas such as the roof.

Traditionally, this would require scaffolding over an extended period, observing each section of the building slowly. Not only would this approach take a long time, but it would also be extremely costly.

A Smarter Approach with Drone Technology

Using one of our 4K drones, we conducted a quick and safe aerial survey of the building, demonstrating how professional drone and aerial video production can support detailed building inspections.

A live feed streamed to a laptop on the ground, allowing the Buglar team to view the building in real time and make notes as the survey took place.

This method not only saved significant time and money, but it also allowed the team to inspect the building immediately rather than waiting for scaffolding to be erected.

Detailed 4K Footage for Closer Inspection

We also captured the full survey and supplied the footage in 4K resolution. This provided the client with excellent detail, allowing the Buglar team to zoom in on any individual photo or sections of video for closer inspection.

The project demonstrated how aerial surveys can be an extremely cost-effective and practical solution for businesses across the property and construction sector.

Experienced and Fully Insured Drone Operators

With multiple drones at our disposal, Yellow Lizard Media can respond quickly to almost any film project.

Our team holds all the required licenses and insurance to operate drones safely and has years of experience in aerial filming.

Aerial video inspections are not limited to the construction industry. Drones provide a much safer way to inspect hard-to-reach areas such as roofs, steep slopes, or uneven ground.

By working with an experienced drone operator, businesses can save time, reduce costs, and minimise the risk of injury while capturing high-quality footage for inspections, reporting or marketing.
