Benefits of Drone Façade Inspections

  • High-Resolution Visual Data
    We capture detailed imagery of cracks, spalling, and structural anomalies — viewable in full-resolution or embedded into 3D models.
  • Digital Twin Output
    We generate 1:1 Digital Twin models for architects and engineers to annotate, measure, and monitor conditions remotely.
  • Reduce or Eliminate Scaffolding & Swing Stages
    Drones can access complex elevations and architectural features with zero human exposure to height-related risks.
  • Faster Turnaround
    Avoid the delays and logistics of full scaffolding installations. Once flight approvals are secured, we schedule your inspection quickly—often completing capture in a single day. We also handle FAA waivers and NYPD permits to save you time and reduce administrative headaches.
  • DOB-Ready Reporting
    Data packages are delivered in formats optimized for FISP compliance, QEWI assessment, and DOB documentation.
