White Peak Design and Build are a Rowsley based company specialising in high quality timber framed buildings. Projects include annexes and bespoke houses for residential clients as well as holiday pods and lodges for hospitality businesses.
A £13,663 Business Development Grant has helped the company purchase a Matrice 350 RTK drone with a zenmuse L2 Lidar scanner. This technology sends out up to 2.2million lasers a second, records the distance to each point, matching it with an image it takes, and creates a digital map of an area.
The drone and mounted scanner will be used in their own projects and also offered as a stand-alone service available to clients - including architects, engineers, developers and estate managers plus heavy industry operations such as quarrying.
Tim Taylor (Founder) says:
This new innovative technology will help our business to grow and diversify. Advancing our current services with the adaptation of a new technology improves our resilience and our productivity. Offering this standalone service will develop and extend our business services, increase revenue and profit and help create a new role working with new clients in an emerging sector utilising new cutting-edge technology.
