Islip Manor High School
Pre-demolition context, repeat progress capture and a clearer picture of the school taking shape.
One project, multiple useful views.
Across 18 visits, roughly every six weeks, Vidda documented Islip Manor High School from pre-demolition asbestos work through the new build. Aerial surveys, repeat progress imagery and render-to-reality edits helped Kier plan work and share the developing story.
The site lay within the RAF Northolt Flight Restriction Zone, so each flight required careful permission and airspace coordination as well as planning around the live construction site.

Document the old school before demolition.
The story starts with the existing school and its pre-demolition asbestos work. Aerial imagery recorded the building and its surroundings, while a view inside the controlled asbestos area shows the conditions at this early stage.
These images establish the starting point before the old structure was removed and the new school progressed.
“Thanks so much for adding all the great footage to our folders.”
Connect the build to the design.
Render-to-reality imagery placed the developing structure alongside the proposed finished school. It made the current stage easier to interpret and gave Kier a clear visual way to communicate what was still to come.
“Those two images look class — they will be an excellent addition.”
Follow the build. Share the progress.
Repeat visits captured structural progress, the shell and the cladding phase. Vidda handled the drone permissions for the RAF Northolt Flight Restriction Zone, task-specific risk assessments and communication with Air Traffic Control, so the planned filming could fit smoothly around work on site. Edited progress updates turned those separate stages into a useful story for the project team and its audience.
“We’re all loving the latest drone footage!”
“Top work, it looks really good.”
“The video looks great.”
From site record to marketing story.
The project also led to a marketing video filmed and edited by Vidda for LinkedIn, carrying the visual story beyond construction updates.
“I saw the 2025 wrapped video and really liked it.”
