Architectural photogrammetry
for heritage conservation

Heritage buildings age. Wind, rain and freeze-thaw weathering take a continual toll on building fabric, and (for example) with the legal requirement for quinquennial surveys on Churches, there’s a constant need to know about problems early before they cause expensive damage. But how does one check on the most critical, sky-facing areas of a building without costly scaffolding or rope access?

Eye in the Skies has developed a unique, drone and AI powered photogrammetry solution that allows us to create a fantastically detailed and high resolution 3D virtual model of the entire building in as little as a few hours on site, for a true ‘digital twin’ of your heritage asset.

Because our use of AI-backed photogrammetry does not require heavy LIDAR scanners, we can conduct our surveys with the the latest lightweight (Sub 250G) drones even if the general public is on site, in a risk controlled and truly safe fashion, without the need to close off roads or control access We can also run simpler photo and video surveys if a specific problem is identified, vastly streamlining the often difficult and uncertain quotation process.

Our team includes decades of experience in the heritage building conservation industry, with two highly skilled stonemasons in the core team. We bring together intuition and insight with unique and market leading technology to give you absolute certainty about that worrying issue with the spire leadwork!

Photorealistic modelling for surveys and condition reports

Our modelling process enables photorealistic modelling of all features on a building, at a level where the actual shape of erosion damage can be viewed from all angles just as if one was standing in front of it. Combined with our unique AI analysis, we can give you expert reporting of any square centimetre of a building as easily as if it was at ground level, without any of the significant costs of high level access for inspection.

Long-term monitoring and expert AI reporting

Innovative Solutions

Eye in the skies leverage cutting edge AI to not only grant a “God’s eye view” of potential problems, but also to diagnose erosion and other damage, and even recommend remedial repairs. Using our proprietary software, we can in a few seconds identify causes of degradation to building fabric such as delamination, water ingress, effloresence, structural movement and mortar degradation. When this is complete, our time-served experts personally review these reports and add their own experience based conclusions.

If longer term monitoring is required, we can immediately compare multiple 3D scans whilst identifying, describing and suggesting specified repair and access techniques. Why erect tens of thousands of pounds worth of scaffolding, labour and project management overhead to repoint a whole elevation when, with our robust and thorough methodologies, one can simply spot that previously invisible issue with the sky facing pointing on the coping above five to ten years earlier, and remedy it in a day or two with powered or rope access?
