Compliance, Safety & Professional Standards
At Casado Design, compliance is built into the way we plan, capture, process and deliver project information. From drone surveying and SLAM scanning through to CAD drawings, digital twins and site reports, our work is supported by clear safety procedures, responsible data handling, quality checks and project-specific risk controls.
Drone and UAS Compliance
Our drone operations are planned around safe, responsible and legally compliant data capture. Before attending site, we review the project requirements, location, access constraints, airspace considerations and any permissions required. Flights are carried out by competent operators using suitable equipment, with checks completed before, during and after each survey. More in depth information is available on request.
