Question 1

What types of buildings do you inspect?

Accepted Answer

We work across three primary segments: higher-risk residential buildings (18m+ / 7+ storeys) under the Building Safety Act 2022, large commercial and retail portfolios where building condition drives asset value, and general commercial buildings including healthcare estates, education campuses, and industrial buildings.

Question 2

How is Ovrsite different from a traditional drone inspection company?

Accepted Answer

Most drone operators deliver folders of images or a basic PDF report. Ovrsite delivers structured intelligence — every finding is AI-detected, human-reviewed, tagged with severity and priority, mapped to your regulatory obligations where applicable, and published to a live portfolio dashboard with CAPEX estimates and recommended actions. The drone is our capture mechanism. Atlas is the product.

Question 3

What is the Atlas platform?

Accepted Answer

Atlas is our building intelligence portal. Clients log in to see portfolio-level compliance status, building condition league tables, prioritised findings with annotated imagery, CAPEX forecasts, and downloadable RICS-aligned reports. For HRBs, Atlas maps every finding against Building Safety Act, Fire Safety Act, and related regulatory obligations.

Question 4

Do you help with Building Safety Act compliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For higher-risk buildings, Atlas maps physical inspection findings directly to statutory obligations under the BSA 2022, including continuous risk assessment (s.83-84), BAC readiness (s.79), Golden Thread requirements (SI 2024/41), and fire safety obligations. We generate BAC Evidence Packs that a Chartered Engineer can use during assessment. Atlas is a decision-support tool — final statutory responsibility remains with the Accountable Person and qualified assessors.

Question 5

How quickly can you inspect my buildings?

Accepted Answer

We can typically mobilise within 5 working days for standard inspections. 24-hour emergency response is available for post-storm or urgent damage assessments. A single building inspection is usually completed in hours, not days. Results appear in Atlas within 48 hours.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

We offer a free first-building assessment so you can see the full value before any commitment. Ongoing pricing depends on portfolio size, building complexity, and inspection cadence. Book a call and we will provide a tailored proposal.

Question 7

Is this compliant with UK health and safety regulations?

Accepted Answer

All operations are conducted by CAA-registered pilots under current permissions, with £10M public liability insurance underwritten by Lloyd's of London. Drone inspection is the legally preferred alternative under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 hierarchy. All reporting is RICS-aligned.
