Construction Site Monitoring | Satellite Imagery Uses

DEVELOPERS & BROKERS

find and assess land for development

Identifying and assessing potential development sites relies on current and comprehensive data. Using up-to-date satellite imagery as part of this data mix offers a source of visual truth to the decision-making process. The ability to access present and historical views of a site can not only give you a clear record of how the area and its surroundings have changed over time, but also help you to pre-qualify sites on your shortlist, saving you valuable inspection time.

BUILDERS & PROJECT MANAGERS

track & record progress

Monitoring the progress of globally distributed projects often involves relying on second-hand information or physically travelling to a site to get the full picture. Using regularly-updated satellite imagery enables build progress to be tracked remotely, saving valuable time and resources. Having access to historical imagery of the site allows builders and project managers to keep an indisputable photographic record of how a site is progressing over time which could be used to accompany developer reports, project management updates, or site assessments. In addition, the ability to explore areas remotely means you can keep a close eye on any competitor activity in the area, even if you’re on the other side of the world.

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE

monitor your portfolio

With a large property portfolio, operations and maintenance management can be challenging. From identifying roof ponding to spotting encroaching shrubbery, access to up-to-date high-resolution satellite images allows you to keep a close eye on your property and the surrounding landscape – allowing you to spot potential issues before they become major problems. Bird.i’s platform adds a valuable layer of timely, tangible and evidence-based information into portfolio monitoring; allowing you to prioritise and deploy maintenance efficiently, no matter where you are.
