First Project Maintenance is flying high!

We are continually looking for ways to use the latest technology to improve how the business operates. Our latest investment is a drone, to assist with building surveys as well as capturing videos of completed projects to enhance the material for our project portfolios.

To ensure that the drone is operated safely and in accordance with the latest regulations, the company followed the Civil Aviation Authority guidelines which requires the owner of a drone being used commercially, to apply for an Operators ID and any individual who will be flying the drone to complete a training course to obtain a Flyer ID certificate.

Robert Villette, Managing Director of FPM explains: “Health and safety within construction is paramount and our number one priority, whether this is us working on site or operating a drone. Members of the FPM team successfully completed the online accreditation for their Flyer ID certificates.”

Robert continues; “Getting the team trained means that any one of us can safely operate the equipment. The drone will make the initial surveying of bigger sites much easier, helping us to scope and price projects more efficiently and competitively. And in terms of showcasing our work, the images the drone can capture from up high are so much more effective than those we take with a camera.”
