Drone Surveying
Drone Surveying is a way to collect detailed pictures and data from above a site before starting a design project. For site analysis, this method helps designers see the shape of the land, where trees and buildings are, and how sunlight moves across the area during the day. Drone Surveying can quickly make 3D maps that show hills, slopes, and flat spaces, which helps in planning where to put buildings or paths. Designers can use this information to understand how water moves on the site, which is important for drainage and planting. This technology can even spot small changes in the ground that are hard to see from the ground level, helping designers make better choices early in the project.
