Shopping Centre Inspection

Client: Savills

Location: The Howard Centre, AL8

Sector: Retail & Commercial

Date: October 2025

  • The property team at Kinetic Business Centre wanted clear visibility of the condition of their roof and building, whilst also capturing high-quality aerial visuals of the site. They were looking for insights that could inform maintenance planning and help showcase the centre in a professional way.

  • Ovrsite carried out a UAV (drone) inspection of the roof and building using CAA-compliant methods. The scope included:

    • High-resolution aerial imagery from multiple angles.

    • AI-assisted analysis to support asset management decisions.

    • RICS-aligned reporting with a baseline register for future comparisons.

    • Capture of aerial footage for marketing content and promotional use.

    • A professional RICS-aligned inspection report and photographic register.

    • Findings register with a RAG risk grading and recommendations.

    • Marketing-ready aerial visuals to showcase the site.

    • Enabled evidence-based planning and lifecycle forecasting.

    • Reduced risk by removing the need for staff to access the roof, in line with HSE guidance.

    • Delivered both technical and promotional outputs from a single safe inspection.
