About

I’m Charlton, a Chartered Land Surveyor with a decade of experience utilising drones for professional applications. Over the years I’ve contributed to industry best practice guidance on the utilisation of drones within the construction and infrastructure sector, worked as a member of the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Geospatial Surveying Expert Working Group and supported the CICES (Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors) as a Review Examiner.

I started Rebuilt Digital to help share my knowledge and experience with industrious professionals within the engineering, infrastructure & heritage sectors. I provide drone survey training and consultancy with the goal of accelerating your drone capability development and increasing the productivity, safety and scalability of your surveys and asset inspections. My concept is straightforward, get the benefit of years worth of experience in hours!

My services are ideal for organisations looking to take drone services in-house, professionals seeking high quality CPD, or growing teams that require a systematic scalable approach to drone survey data collection; enabling multiple teams to operate with consistency across quality and deliverables.
