Survey Solutions acquires Site-Eye to expand construction monitoring services

The construction monitoring services acquisition further strengthens Survey Solutions’ existing monitoring capabilities and broadens its service offering for clients across infrastructure, utilities, commercial development, residential construction and the wider built environment.

Site-Eye has specialised in construction time-lapse cameras, filming and media production for more than 24 years. Operating nationally from offices in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, and Brighton, the business has built a strong reputation for supporting construction and infrastructure projects with high-quality site monitoring and visual content.

Dow Schofield Watts Corporate Finance in Yorkshire and the North East has again provided corporate finance advice to Survey Solutions, continuing its role as retained M&A adviser to the company, working alongside Cortus Advisory Group (Financial Due Diligence) and Pinsent Masons (Legal)

The DSW team comprised Paul Herriott and Harry Martin from the Yorkshire and North East corporate finance team.

The acquisition complements Survey Solutions’ existing surveying and monitoring services, creating a broader, more integrated proposition for clients across the construction and built environment sectors. It also supports the company’s continued buy-and-build strategy, strengthening its position as a leading provider of specialist surveying, monitoring and project visibility solutions across the UK.

The deal represents Survey Solutions’ third acquisition since undergoing a WestBridge-backed management buyout in December 2023. It follows the acquisitions of JWG Survey & Engineering, a rail and highway survey and monitoring specialist, and SurvaTec, a utility surveying specialist.

Following the acquisition of Site-Eye, Survey Solutions continues to expand its national platform, supporting clients through a growing network of regional offices and an increasingly broad range of specialist surveying, monitoring and site support services.

David Lowe, CEO of Survey Solutions, said, “Site-Eye is a well-established business with an excellent reputation and highly complementary expertise. This acquisition further strengthens our construction monitoring capabilities and enables us to offer our clients an even broader range of services.

Paul Herriot, Partner at Dow Schofield Watts, added, “We are pleased to have advised Survey Solutions and WestBridge on another strategic acquisition as the group continues to broaden its capabilities and build scale across the UK.

Site-Eye is a strong fit for Survey Solutions, adding specialist construction time-lapse and monitoring expertise that complements the group’s existing service offering. This latest deal demonstrates the continued momentum behind Survey Solutions’ buy-and-build strategy, and we look forward to supporting the team as they pursue further growth opportunities.”
