Drone Facade & Building Envelope Documentation
High-resolution visual and thermal documentation for high-rises, curtain walls, and exterior envelopes — without scaffolding or swing stages
Request a Quote →Safe, Efficient Building Documentation
Our drone-based facade services deliver detailed visual documentation of building exteriors, capturing visible conditions from angles and distances not possible with traditional methods.
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 Documentation
Our building envelope documentation provides property managers, engineers, and building owners with the detailed imagery needed for capital planning, insurance claims, and regulatory compliance.
Curtain Wall & Cladding
Detailed imagery of glass panels, aluminum framing, stone cladding, and ACM panels. Our documentation captures visible conditions suitable for identifying seal failures, panel damage, and attachment issues.
Concrete & Masonry
Documentation of visible spalling, cracking, efflorescence, and mortar deterioration. Our imagery enables precise mapping of areas of interest for further evaluation.
Thermal Envelope Imaging
Using infrared imaging, we capture calibrated thermal data suitable for identifying heat loss patterns, moisture intrusion, and insulation anomalies.
Balcony & Overhang
Document balcony soffits, railings, waterproofing membranes, and structural connections from below — areas often missed by traditional methods.
Organized Deliverables
Documentation packages with annotated imagery, location mapping of observed conditions, and organized file structures suitable for review by engineers, consultants, and building professionals.
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 Document
Our visual building documentation covers all exterior components, capturing detailed imagery of visible conditions for review by qualified professionals.
Advanced Capture Methods
We combine multiple sensor technologies to deliver comprehensive building documentation. High-resolution RGB cameras capture visible conditions, while thermal imaging reveals temperature patterns that may indicate moisture or heat loss.
All data is processed in-house through our data processing services, delivering organized documentation, annotated imagery, and when needed, 3D building models for detailed records.

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 documentation of specific areas, 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 deliverables include high-resolution imagery of all building elevations, annotated photos highlighting areas of interest, location mapping by floor and elevation, and organized file structures suitable for review by engineers and building professionals.
Visual documentation can be conducted year-round in appropriate conditions. Thermal imaging is actually most effective during heating season when temperature differentials are greatest. We schedule around rain, snow, and high winds to ensure quality data capture.
Most building projects are completed within a single day of on-site work. Deliverable turnaround typically follows within 3-5 business days depending on building size and scope. Rush delivery is available when needed.
