Our Clients

  • “I have engaged Recon to undertake Aerial Survey multiple times as a subcontractor to the surveying teams I have been managing and am always impressed with the quality of their work. Jeremy and Ben are a pleasure to work with and I will continue to use their services and leverage their expertise for all projects requiring Aerial survey components. Great value and great service.”

    Chris Hood - Libbet

  • “With the sometimes unorthodox requirements and timelines of the Film industry. We rely on an innovative and flexible partner for our 3D Scanning and Survey needs. Recon not only deliver quickly and efficiently but work hard on building a strong relationships which is reflected in their professional service. I won’t go anywhere else…”

    Todd Smythe - Art Director

  • “I have found in the past that surveyors will often go about things in their own way, not read my work briefs and show little interest in the particular outputs I need. I use Recon on every job I can, essentially because they do the opposite. My clients don't pay me for cookie-cutter solutions and I can't have subcontractors that rely on this approach either. Jeremy is very focused on the particular information that is of value, with the approach informed by required outputs. He reads my briefs, discusses them with me, and does the work promptly for a really reasonable price. It is a relief for me to have him and his team on my projects. Jeremy Neilson is the first person I would pick up the phone and call in this regard.”
