Data-driven construction insights from drone surveys for faster, safer, more efficient project delivery.

< OVERVIEW >

Drone Surveys & Data Intelligence For Construction.

Construction projects demand precision, coordination, and accountability - but traditional monitoring methods can't keep pace with modern project complexity.

StirlingX delivers construction drone surveys and site intelligence that provide project teams with objective, comprehensive data to support construction site monitoring, progress tracking, and inspection workflows, accelerating decision-making, improving quality, and keeping projects on schedule and within budget

< SECTOR CHALLENGES >

The construction data challenge.

Limited Project Visibility

Ground-level observations miss the big picture. Project managers lack real-time understanding of progress, issues, and bottlenecks. Stakeholders operate with outdated information.

Slow, Expensive Surveying

Traditional ground-based surveying is slow, costly, and often incomplete. Expensive equipment. Skilled labour shortages. Data processing bottlenecks delay decision-making.

Quality & Compliance Verification

Documenting compliance with specifications, safety requirements, and quality standards is labour-intensive. Inconsistent documentation creates gaps. Disputes arise over actual conditions vs. claims.

Schedule Pressure

Projects face aggressive timelines with little margin for error. Issues discovered late become costly problems. Need for faster identification and resolution of problems.

< OPERATIONAL APPLICATIONS >

Intelligence throughout the project lifecycle.

Site Surveys and Mapping

Rapid, repeatable topographical surveys establish an accurate pre-construction baseline. High-resolution mapping supports access planning, logistics, design validation, and creates a defensible record of existing site conditions before work begins.

Progress Monitoring

Construction progress monitoring using drone-captured site data provides real-time visibility of build phases measured against programme and design intent.. Objective progress data highlights deviations early, supports stakeholder reporting, and enables faster, evidence-based decisions on site.

Environmental and Safety Insights

Baseline environmental surveys and ongoing monitoring support permitting, compliance, and risk management. Proactive detection of environmental and safety hazards helps teams address issues early and maintain regulatory confidence throughout delivery.

Quality and Compliance Checks

Automated verification of as-built conditions against digital design models. Visual and spatial evidence supports inspections, audits, and quality assurance, reducing rework and strengthening compliance documentation.

Stockpile and Inventory Assessments

Precise volumetric analysis tracks material movement and stockpile levels across site. This improves cost control, reduces waste, supports accurate progress payments, and prevents material shortages or over-ordering.

< How It Works >

Our approach.

Plan

Remote or on-site mission planning, including safety, permissions (CAA/BVLOS approvals), and site risk assessments.

Capture

Automated multi-sensor missions using hardened UAVs and defence-tested payloads.

Process

Real-time upload into secure cloud storage with automated model creation.

Analyse

AI-enabled defect detection and condition scoring through the MAYNE dashboard.

Report

Spatial reports, comparative models, and maintenance recommendations.

< Outputs >

What you receive.

Clients receive a secure, cloud-based construction data intelligence platform that turns drone survey and site monitoring data into practical, decision-ready outputs - accessible to project, commercial, and executive teams.

Interactive Analytics Dashboard

A live dashboard providing a single view of project status. Progress tracking, volumetrics, environmental indicators, and quality metrics are presented clearly, with trends, comparisons, and alerts that support fast, confident decision-making.

High-Resolution Visual Records

Time-stamped aerial imagery and 3D site views showing conditions, progress, and key changes over time. These visual records can be interrogated remotely and used directly for reporting, audits, and dispute resolution.

Survey-Grade Data Outputs

Accurate topographical models, orthomosaics, and digital terrain models compatible with common GIS,CAD, and BIM workflows. Data is delivered in standard formats, ready for integration into existing systems.

Progress, Quantity, and Compliance Reports

Clear, exportable reports covering progress status, cut/fill volumes, stockpiles, and compliance checks. Designed for commercial reporting, payment applications, and stakeholder updates.

How accurate are volumetric calculations for pay quantities?

We achieve ±1% accuracy for earthwork volumes when proper ground control is used. This meets or exceeds industry standards for quantity calculations and is acceptable for progress payment purposes. All surveys can be certified by licensed surveyors.

Can you survey in all weather conditions?

We operate in most weather conditions but have safety limits. Rain or high winds may require rescheduling. We monitor forecasts and coordinate with your team to optimise survey timing. Typical weather delays are minimal.

What file formats do you deliver for BIM integration?

We deliver point clouds (LAS/LAZ), 3D meshes (OBJ), orthomosaics (GeoTIFF), and other standard formats compatible with Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and other BIM/CAD platforms. Custom format export available.

How does pricing work for construction projects?

Pricing depends on site size, survey frequency, deliverables required, and project duration. We offer per-survey pricing for occasional needs and subscription pricing for regular monitoring programs. Volume discounts for multiple sites or long-duration projects.
