What types of buildings do you inspect?

We work across three primary segments: higher-risk residential buildings (18m+ / 7+ storeys) under the Building Safety Act 2022, large commercial and retail portfolios where building condition drives asset value, and general commercial buildings including healthcare estates, education campuses, and industrial buildings.

How is Ovrsite different from a traditional drone inspection company?

Most drone operators deliver folders of images or a basic PDF report. Ovrsite delivers structured intelligence — every finding is AI-detected, human-reviewed, tagged with severity and priority, mapped to your regulatory obligations where applicable, and published to a live portfolio dashboard with CAPEX estimates and recommended actions. The drone is our capture mechanism. Atlas is the product.

What is the Atlas platform?

Atlas is our building intelligence portal. Clients log in to see portfolio-level compliance status, building condition league tables, prioritised findings with annotated imagery, CAPEX forecasts, and downloadable RICS-aligned reports. For HRBs, Atlas maps every finding against Building Safety Act, Fire Safety Act, and related regulatory obligations.

Do you help with Building Safety Act compliance?

Yes. For higher-risk buildings, Atlas maps physical inspection findings directly to statutory obligations under the BSA 2022, including continuous risk assessment (s.83-84), BAC readiness (s.79), Golden Thread requirements (SI 2024/41), and fire safety obligations. We generate BAC Evidence Packs that a Chartered Engineer can use during assessment. Atlas is a decision-support tool — final statutory responsibility remains with the Accountable Person and qualified assessors.

How quickly can you inspect my buildings?

We can typically mobilise within 5 working days for standard inspections. 24-hour emergency response is available for post-storm or urgent damage assessments. A single building inspection is usually completed in hours, not days. Results appear in Atlas within 48 hours.

How much does it cost?

We offer a free first-building assessment so you can see the full value before any commitment. Ongoing pricing depends on portfolio size, building complexity, and inspection cadence. Book a call and we will provide a tailored proposal.

Is this compliant with UK health and safety regulations?

All operations are conducted by CAA-registered pilots under current permissions, with £10M public liability insurance underwritten by Lloyd's of London. Drone inspection is the legally preferred alternative under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 hierarchy. All reporting is RICS-aligned.

Intelligence that changes decisions.

We don't ask you to imagine what Ovrsite can do. We show you.

These are real inspections, real findings, and real outcomes for organisations managing buildings across the UK.

Savills Commercial Facilities Management, Client of Ovrsite

"It gave great insight and fantastic detail of areas that had not been visible for us to see."

Centre Manager, Savills

The challenge:

The property team needed clear visibility of roof and building envelope condition to inform maintenance planning across a busy retail centre, without disrupting tenants or operations, and without the cost and risk of scaffolded access.

What Ovrsite delivered:

CAA-compliant UAV inspection capturing high-resolution visual data from multiple angles. AI-assisted analysis identified findings across the roof membrane, drainage systems, and building fabric. Every finding was tagged with severity and priority, mapped into a structured register, and delivered through a RICS-aligned report with a baseline condition record for future comparison.

The result:

Evidence-based maintenance planning replaced subjective contractor assessments. The inspection eliminated working at height entirely. A repeatable baseline was established, enabling the team to track condition change over time and forecast CAPEX with confidence. Marketing-grade aerial footage was captured from the same inspection, dual value from a single mobilisation.

The challenge:

The building owner needed a proactive roof and fabric condition assessment to support planned maintenance and long-term asset integrity, without manual roof access, operational disruption, or the cost of scaffolding. The site's proximity to a railway line added airspace complexity.

What Ovrsite delivered:

237 high-resolution images captured via pre-programmed flight paths covering the full roof and upper envelope. AI-assisted defect detection cross-referenced with RICS surveying standards. A digital condition map, CAPEX forecast, and maintenance priority plan, all delivered within 72 hours.

The result:

Condition graded as Fair: systems functional with age-related wear requiring planned intervention. Zero person-minutes at height. Maintenance priorities verified using objective visual data rather than contractor opinion. The inspection established a repeatable model that can scale across the owner's wider portfolio. Full compliance with HSE Work at Height Regulations 2005 and CAP 722A.
