Construction Site Mapping in SW1V
SW1V is inside our regular patch, so construction site mapping there is a short mobilisation rather than a special arrangement.
Our pilots work in SW1V often enough to know its airspace constraints before we arrive. We are as comfortable on a single house as on a multi-acre site. Deliverables can be split across several recipients where the client team is spread out.
The right altitude for any SW1V site depends entirely on what you are trying to show. Some SW1V streets simply have nowhere safe to launch, and we will say so. SW1V is one of the South West London districts we cover, and the surrounding ones are all in range.
Every flight in SW1V starts with an airspace check and a written risk assessment. Payload choice follows the deliverable, whether that is a frame or a measurement. Every crew member knows the abort criteria before the first take-off.
All flights are logged, and we keep the records available for your compliance file. Raw files come back the same day, with edited output typically inside 24 to 48 hours. We would rather explain a constraint up front than surprise you with it later.
A good deal of SW1V looks onto the tideway, which is where most of our flying hours have been logged. We plan around the tide, keep a radio watch on river traffic, and notify the PLA before the crew arrives.
What's Included

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fly drones in SW1V?
Yes. We hold the necessary permissions to operate safely in SW1V. Every operation includes a full risk assessment and coordination with local authorities or airspace controllers where required.
Do you retain copyright, or do we?
Licensing is agreed before the shoot and written into the quote, so there is no ambiguity afterwards. Tell us how you intend to use the material and we will scope the licence to match.
Do we need permission from the landowner or council?
Take-off and landing need the landowner's permission, and we will tell you whose it is before the date. Where a council, managing agent or estate needs sight of our CAA authorisation, insurance or risk assessment, we supply the paperwork directly.
