Drone Facade & Building Envelope Inspections
Comprehensive building condition assessments for high-rises, curtain walls, and exterior envelopes — without scaffolding or swing stages
Request a Quote →Safe, Efficient Building Condition Assessments
Our drone-based facade inspections deliver detailed visual documentation of building exteriors, identifying deterioration, damage, and maintenance needs from a safe distance.
Using high-resolution cameras and thermal imaging, we capture data that would otherwise require expensive scaffolding, swing stages, or rope access — at a fraction of the cost and time.
Comprehensive Envelope Surveys & Condition Reports
Our building envelope inspections provide property managers, engineers, and building owners with the detailed documentation needed for capital planning, insurance claims, and regulatory compliance.
Curtain Wall & Cladding
Detailed inspection of glass panels, aluminum framing, stone cladding, and ACM panels. We identify seal failures, panel damage, and attachment issues.
Concrete & Masonry
Detection of spalling, cracking, efflorescence, and mortar deterioration. Our imagery enables precise mapping of repair areas for accurate cost estimates.
Thermal Envelope Analysis
Using infrared imaging, we identify heat loss, moisture intrusion, and insulation deficiencies invisible to standard visual inspection.
Balcony & Overhang
Inspect balcony soffits, railings, waterproofing membranes, and structural connections from below — areas often missed by traditional methods.
Condition Reports
Comprehensive reports with annotated imagery, deficiency mapping, severity ratings, and repair recommendations for reserve fund studies and capital planning.
3D Documentation
For detailed as-built records, we can create 3D models and digital twins of your building exterior for ongoing reference and comparison.
What We Inspect
Our visual building inspection covers all exterior components, identifying issues that could lead to water infiltration, structural concerns, or safety hazards.
Advanced Inspection Methods
We combine multiple sensor technologies to deliver comprehensive building assessments. High-resolution RGB cameras capture visible defects, while thermal imaging reveals hidden moisture and heat loss issues.
All data is processed in-house through our data processing services, delivering actionable reports, annotated imagery, and when needed, 3D building models for detailed documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our drones can safely operate within 3-5 meters of building surfaces, capturing detailed imagery of facades, cladding, and envelope components. For close-up inspection of specific defects, we can get even closer while maintaining safe operation.
We handle all Transport Canada regulatory requirements, including any necessary Special Flight Operations Certificates (SFOCs) for controlled airspace. We coordinate with property management and local authorities as needed. Our team is fully licensed for complex operations.
Our reports include high-resolution imagery of all building elevations, annotated photos highlighting deficiencies, location mapping of issues by floor and elevation, severity ratings, repair recommendations, and executive summaries suitable for board presentations or reserve fund studies.
Visual inspections can be conducted year-round in appropriate conditions. Thermal imaging is actually most effective during heating season when temperature differentials reveal envelope deficiencies. We schedule around rain, snow, and high winds to ensure quality data capture.
Most building inspections are completed within a single day of on-site work. Report delivery typically follows within 3-5 business days depending on building size and scope. Rush delivery is available when needed.
