Crucial Services

Land Surveying & Drone Surveying Services from our base in Shropshire. Reliable spatial data is a crucial element of any successful project to design or maintain the built or natural environment. If you need to precisely understand an environment we have the survey services to accurately measure, model & report that spatial information from the ground & the air. We employ a range of technologies to efficiently gather & process your data in a cost-effective way. We integrate our services to provide complete coverage for a project. On their own neither drone mapping surveys nor ground-based land surveys can give you complete coverage. By integrating services we can measure sites quicker, safer & cheaper than a traditional topographical survey

Customer's reviews

I have been working with Crucial Services for setting out steel work on a project site in Manchester, and I am thoroughly impressed with their top-notch services. Their professionalism, precision, and dedication to quality are truly commendable. Their use of advanced technology in land surveying and drone inspections ensured that every aspect of the project was handled with utmost accuracy. The seamless coordination and clear communication throughout the process made working with them a breeze. Their ability to meet deadlines without compromising on quality has been invaluable to our project's success. I fully recommend Crucial Services to anyone in need of land surveying, drone inspection, and construction setting out works. Their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction sets them apart in the industry. ~ Stefan N
We've worked well with David as a setting out engineer but recently got the opportunity to witness the firm's latest 3D modelling of a live site via drone capture and modelling software and was absolutely blown away! The applications for this output are endless, capturing heritage assets and 3d models of museum pieces has been mooted BUT, with David a CAA Licenced pilot - the CDM Health and Safety aspects of the service really leap out at me: Surveying a building after fire damage, no risk to the surveyor and much safer planning for the construction team, opportunities to save buildings which might otherwise be demolished. Surveying roofs and Chimneys, either after storm damage or for preventative maintenance - no scaffolding required, quicker, cheaper, SAFER.... So Fire Services, Insurance Underwriters, Home and Commercial Premises owners.... check out David's work and ask for a quote, you'll be stunned how much you save on finding out the true situation outside of your practical sight lines. ~ Charles O

Questions & Answers

Why are your done mapping services better than those provided by other drone businesses?
We have been surveying and mapping sites for over 30 years. As full qualified land surveyors we have a vast amount of experience in data collection, understand what defines a good map and apply that knowledge to our drone surveys. Whilst another company can offer drone mapping services and may be offering that services after only a few years of drone flying they won't necessarily have the implicit understanding of accuracy and precision like we do. Not all surveys are the same. We will discuss your specific needs with you and make sure our survey matches those precisely. We also integrate drone-based and ground-based surveying to make sure there are no holes in your data. A stand alone pure ground or aerial survey can't offer that. If you need a simple flat map for a boundary survey, conveyancing, volume and or area calculations we can offer those as well
