Choosing the lowest-cost utility survey isn't always the lowest-cost option in the long run. Geospatial recently achieved PUMA accreditation, demonstrating their ability to deliver utility surveys that meet recognised PAS128 standards. In our latest case study, Utilities Director Dave Sweeney discusses:

✔ Why accreditation matters
✔ The value of independent assessment
✔ How quality utility surveys help de-risk projects
✔ Why more clients are looking beyond price when appointing survey providers

Saying you care about sustainability is one thing. Proving it is another. 🌍
Our latest article looks at why independent verification is becoming such an important part of carbon reporting for TSA members, and how it's helping businesses like Storm Geomatics Limited to build trust with clients while actually reducing costs along the way.

Not all photogrammetry surveys are the same, even if they look it.

Modern technology can produce impressive 3D models, but the real question is:
Can you trust the data? The answer depends on:

✅ Image quality
✅ Survey planning
✅ Ground control points
✅ Professional expertise

Get these right, and you get reliable, accurate results. Get them wrong, and the data may not be usable.

In our latest blog, we explain what makes a good photogrammetry survey - and what clients should look out for. Read the blog and download the full guide to find out all you need to know.
