Construction & Renovation

Drone construction imaging delivers the clear, up‑to‑date visuals project teams need to build safer, faster, and with fewer surprises. From early site grading and foundations to structural steel, roofing, and final punch‑list, we capture consistent aerial photos, video, and maps that show exactly what is happening on site at each stage. High‑resolution overhead views, oblique angles, and detailed close‑ups help owners, GCs, and subs track progress, verify work against plans, and document conditions for change orders, inspections, and warranty records. By putting the entire jobsite on screen—without scaffolding, lifts, or shutdowns—drone imaging improves communication, supports better decisions, and creates a permanent visual record of your project from groundbreaking to handover.

Real Estate Inspection Services

Drone-based real estate inspections using aerial imaging and, when appropriate, thermal data to assess a property quickly, safely, and in more detail than a traditional ground-only walk‑through. These are especially valuable for roofs, large lots, steep terrain, multi-story structures, and hard-to-reach building features.

Typical issues drones can uncover include:

  • Roof damage: missing or broken shingles/tiles, lifted edges, punctures, hail impact marks, surface blisters, ponding on flat roofs.
  • Moisture problems: signs of leaks, stained or darkened areas, suspected water intrusion around penetrations, standing water near foundations.
  • Gutter and drainage issues and de-icing cables: clogged or damaged gutters,  poor grading that channels water toward the structure, and suspect de-icing cables
  • Chimney and flashing defects: cracked masonry, deteriorated caps, loose or failed flashing at chimneys, skylights, vents, and wall intersections.
  • Structural concerns: sagging roof planes, bowing walls, visible foundation cracks, uneven decks or balconies.

Flat roof inspections using infrared provide assurance that your roof performs properly for the duration of its warranty IR inspections are an affordable, predictive tool that provides critical information to keep equipment, buildings, and systems operating safely and efficiently. By locating problems such as roof moisture intrusion or hidden leaks early—often while still under warranty—you can take corrective action before damage escalates.

Whether it’s unseen moisture within walls, insulation, or structural materials, infrared imaging reveals issues that lead to corrosion, mold, and energy waste. 

Solar, Commercial & Industrial

Infrared drone inspections keep your solar investment performing at its best by quickly pinpointing hidden problems before they turn into lost energy and costly repairs. From residential rooftops to large commercial and farm arrays, our aerial thermal imaging reveals hot spots, wiring faults, shading and soiling issues, and failing modules in a fast, non-contact survey that never touches your panels. You receive clear visuals and easy-to-understand reports so your solar provider or electrician can fix issues promptly and restore maximum production.

Infrared Inspection Advantages

Infrared (IR) inspections are widely considered the most efficient, providing non-destructive testing to offer powerful insights that help you protect your property, reduce costs, and improve energy efficiency.

Key Benefits:

  • Detect issues early—before they become costly repairs.
  • Improve energy performance and support LEED certification goals.
  • Lower operational and maintenance expenses.
  • Identify roof, insulation, and construction deficiencies that cause heat loss.

Text: Routine infrared inspections empower facility managers and building owners to save thousands in maintenance and repair costs through proactive detection and prevention. During the long Western and Central New York Winters, infrared inspections can quickly confirm roof heat cables and heating systems are operational.
