Aerial Site Measurement & Inspection

Measure and inspect any site from the air, without walking it.

Getting the numbers off a site costs you a day, a vehicle and a technician — and you still re-measure when the figures don't reconcile against the quote.

FieldScope puts georeferenced aerial imagery in your browser. Measure areas, log geotagged photos and run defect detection over drone frames, all against the same image. Solar sizing included.

Where Site Surveys Go Wrong

A Day Per Site

Every measurement means travel, site access arrangements and a technician on the ground.

Numbers You Can't Defend

Hand measurements vary between surveyors, and clients notice when the quoted figure moves.

Imagery You Can't Use

Drone captures sit unopened in folders because nothing in the office can measure against them.

What You Can Do In FieldScope

Practical outcomes, not promises — here's what changes for your team.

  • Measure any area on imagery

    Draw an outline or pick a building footprint, and read back area, usable area and orientation without a second site visit.

  • Log geotagged site photos

    Drop a photo at the point it was taken, tag its condition, and clear it through a confirm-or-dismiss review queue.

  • Detect defects on drone frames

    Run powerline and distribution assets through automatic defect detection — twelve defect types ranked critical, major and minor, exported one row per finding.

  • Get the imagery itself

    Buy recent aerial coverage of a property, or order a fresh capture by the square kilometre, and it loads straight into your workspace.

Process

How it works

  1. 01

    Load your own georeferenced imagery, or buy coverage of the site

  2. 02

    Measure, photograph or analyse what you need

  3. 03

    Export the measurements, findings and estimates

Inside FieldScope

What it looks like in use

One browser window over your own imagery: measurements, site photos and findings against the same image. FieldScope is the single-user workspace — organisations get the same imagery under their network in GridMapper.

Measured, not estimated

Draw an outline or pick a footprint, and read back area, usable area and orientation.

Photos and findings on the map

Geotagged site photos and analysed drone frames sit at the point they were captured, not in a folder.

Solar sizing as you go

Panel count, system size, annual yield and CO2 saved update with every rooftop you measure.

No imagery yet?

If you don't have aerial coverage of the site, we can capture it. FieldWatch deploys drone teams, processes the imagery, and loads it straight into your FieldScope workspace.

Already doing solar?

Every rooftop you measure still returns a solar yield estimate with sun and shadow overlay, and panel layout, system sizing and GA drawings come with it.
