Our Matterport surveys provide a high-quality 3D virtual tour of your site, captured by our trained operators using industry-leading Matterport technology. The digital model is easy to navigate and can be accessed online at any time, helping reduce unnecessary site visits and improving the efficiency of project planning. How Matterport Supports Your Project • Project StartMatterport creates an accurate record of existing conditions, ideal for tendering and early-stage planning. Contractors can explore the space remotely, verify details, and minimise time spent on site. • During the WorksRegular monthly scans allow you to track progress clearly and build a visual record throughout the project. This helps with programme updates, evidence in the event of disputes, and capturing services before they’re covered—such as M&E installations prior to ceiling boarding. • Project CompletionThe final 3D tour can be used for client handover, marketing, or remote viewing. It’s especially useful for estate agents, universities, and organisations that need to showcase spaces to people who cannot visit in person. Additional Applications• Virtual tours for inductions or open days• Remote walkthroughs for international students, clients, or teams• Interactive tours with linked videos or information points. Available Digital OutputsOur Matterport scans can also be delivered in a range of professional formats:• Schematic Floor Plans – Simple, clear 2D floor plans generated from the scan• Revit/BIM Models – Detailed building models for architects and designers. CAD Files – Accurate drawings compatible with AutoCAD and other design tools• TruePlan for Xactimate – Insurance-ready plans for restoration and claims• E57 File – Precise point-cloud export for measurement and modelling workflows.
At PML, we provide professional drone survey services for buildings and properties, offering a safe, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional access methods. Whether you require window inspections, roof surveys, or thermal assessments, our drones allow us to capture detailed visual data from areas that are difficult or unsafe to reach. Our Drone Types: • DJI Mini (Sub-250g Drone)Our lightweight DJI Mini drone is ideal for built-up or high-traffic areas. Because it weighs under 250g, it falls within a lower category of UK drone regulations, meaning it can be flown closer to people and over property where heavier drones are restricted. This makes it perfect for inspecting tight or complex spaces safely and efficiently. • DJI Mavic ThermalFor heat-loss analysis, we use our DJI Mavic with a thermal camera. This allows us to survey your property and identify areas where heat is escaping—highlighting insulation issues, thermal bridging, or defects in the fabric of the building. What Drone Surveys Can Be Used For: • Roof SurveysWe carry out full roof inspections without the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers, or costly access equipment. Our drones capture highresolution images and video, and we provide a clear report identifying any defects, damage, or areas requiring repair. • Window & FaçadeCondition Surveys For inaccessible windows or façades, drones allow safe, close-range inspections to assess condition, weathering, deterioration, and maintenance needs. • Thermal Heat-Loss Surveys Our thermal drone technology detects heat loss across roofs, walls, and building elements, helping pinpoint problem areas and support energy-efficiency improvements.

At PML, we provide advanced weekly visual-record surveying using the Oculo platform — a highly effective tool for tracking progress, analysing delays, and building clear evidence throughout the lifecycle of a construction project. How Oculo Works:Each week, one of our planners completes a structured site walk wearing a lightweight 360° camera. As they move through the site, the camera captures continuous 3D imagery, which is then uploaded to the Oculo platform. The system automatically maps the images to your site plans, creating a navigable digital twin of your project. Every walk-through is stored and timestamped, giving you a complete and reliable visual history of the works. Key Benefits of Oculo Surveys • Weekly Progress TrackingOculo allows you to compare site conditions on a week-by-week basis. This provides undeniable visual evidence of how much work has been completed at any stage of the project.• Delay & Programme AnalysisThe imagery serves as a strong foundation for analysing delays. You can clearly identify when progress slowed, which areas were affected, and how this impacts the overall programme.• Strong Support for ClaimsOculo is extremely valuable during disputes or extension-of-time claims. The time-stamped images create an objective, unbiased record that both clients and contractors can rely on to verify progress and site conditions.• Remote Access & Stakeholder VisibilityThe digital twin can be accessed online, allowing project managers, clients, and subcontractors to view the site remotely. This reduces the need for travel and improves communication across the project team.• Full Site Coverage Without GapsUnlike traditional photo logs, Oculo captures entire walk-through paths, ensuring full visibility of walls, ceilings, services, and areas often missed by standard site photography. Typical Uses of Oculo• Weekly progress documentation• Delay and extension-of-time (EOT) analysis• Evidence for claims and dispute resolution• Capturing services before they are covered (e.g., before ceilings or walls are closed up)• Quality assurance reviews• Remote client monitoring of multiple or distant sites• Building a “golden thread” record for compliance and safety Why Choose PML for Oculo Surveys?• Integrated into our planning and project management services• Consistent weekly capture by experienced planners• Full setup, management, and walkthrough scheduling included • Clear reporting to support programme reviews and decision-making
