Night / Weekend Mobilisation
Surcharge for mobilisation outside standard working hours (Mon–Fri 07:00–18:00).
Complex Airspace Permissions
Additional NATS coordination and CAA filings for flights in restricted or controlled airspace zones.

24-Hour Plan Turnaround
Expedited preparation of Land Registry lease or title plans for time-critical conveyancing deadlines.
How We Calculate Your Quote
Every survey is different. Our pricing reflects the true cost of delivering engineering-grade geospatial data in one of the world's most complex airspaces. Here are the key factors that influence your final quote:
Site Area & Complexity
Larger sites or those with complex features, steep terrain, or dense structures require more flight lines, GCPs, and processing time.
Airspace & Permissions
Sites near airports, heliports, or within restricted zones may require additional NATS coordination and CAA filings.
Required Accuracy & Deliverables
Engineering-grade tolerances (±15mm) and specialist outputs (BIM models, classified LiDAR) command higher processing effort.
Access & Mobilisation
Remote locations, multi-day sites, or restricted-access facilities may incur additional mobilisation charges.
Turnaround & Scheduling
Express 48-hour delivery and out-of-hours mobilisation are available at a premium above standard rates.
Pricing Commitments
- All prices exclude VAT at the standard UK rate of 20%. VAT is charged on all invoices and shown separately.
- Minimum mobilisation fee: £900 + VAT per site visit within Greater London. This covers pilot deployment, equipment, and standard airspace coordination.
- Fixed-fee quotes: Once we have reviewed your site details, we provide a firm, fixed-fee proposal — no hidden costs or hourly overruns.
- Package discounts: Combining multiple survey types for the same site (e.g. Topo + DTM + Volumes) is priced below the sum of the individual services.
London Premium
Our pricing reflects the additional complexity of operating in London: congested airspace coordination, restricted flight zones, NATS filings, urban risk assessments, and the logistics of deploying in one of the world's densest cities. This ensures every survey is legally compliant and delivered to professional engineering standards.
Need a Bespoke Quote?
Every site is unique. Send us your project details and we'll return a tailored, fixed-fee proposal within 24 hours.
Pricing FAQ
Common questions about our pricing, payment terms, and what's included.
What’s included in the quoted price?
All quotes include pre-flight planning, airspace coordination, pilot mobilisation, field data capture, photogrammetric processing, QA against independent checkpoints, and delivery of the specified data packages (CAD, point clouds, orthomosaics, etc.). Travel within Greater London is included.
Do you charge extra for London airspace permissions?
Standard NATS coordination and CAA filings within Greater London are included in our base pricing. For sites within the most restricted zones (e.g. within 5 km of Heathrow, London City Airport, or the Battersea Heliport), a complex airspace supplement of £200–£400 may apply.
Can I combine services for a package discount?
Yes. When bundling multiple survey types for the same site (e.g. Topographic + DTM/DSM + Volumetric), we offer combined packages priced below the sum of the individual services. Contact us for a bespoke package quote.
What payment terms do you offer?
We require 50% deposit upon instruction, with the remaining 50% due upon delivery of the final data package. For repeat clients and framework agreements, we can arrange 30-day net terms subject to credit approval.
Are these prices fixed or estimates?
The prices shown are guide ranges for typical London sites. Final quotes depend on site area, feature complexity, required accuracy, access logistics, and airspace restrictions. We provide a firm, fixed-fee quote once we have reviewed your site details.
