Hard-to-reach assets
Aerial Inspections
Close-range visual documentation of roofs, facades, chimneys, and envelopes — organized for qualified review teams on the ground. The sample stills on this site are a residential roof and siding, not a tower.
01
Brief
We collect the mission goal, the site, and the window from you first. A listing still, a month-over-month jobsite set, a claim file, a roof packet, and an orthomosaic are five different flights. Where and when matter as much as what.
02
Authorize
Airspace class, LAANC on the live UAS Facility Map, Part 107 Waivers, TFR and National Security Event notices, and local permits (NYPD for New York City operations, property/GC access, venue clearance). Coordination happens here — not on the pad.
03
Conditions
Day-of weather, TFRs, National Security Events, and NOTAMs can change an approval that looked clean the night before. This is the GO / NO-GO gate. Authorization is planning status, not a launch.
04
Fly
Capture from the viewpoints the brief and the authorization actually allow — stills, film, or a mapping grid. The aircraft comes down when the coverage for the deliverable is in the card, not when the battery is empty.
05
Process
After the flight: cull, color, align, and reconstruct. Photogrammetry, 3D site models, construction tracking sets, and inspection packets are built here. A map is not a JPEG of a map — it is processed data.
06
Deliver
Stills, film, orthomosaics, DEMs, 3D models, progress comparisons, and reports — organized to the specification in the brief. This is the product the client files, presents, or sells. Flying is only half the job.
Planned around the operating need
Useful visual context, with clear boundaries.
Close-range visual documentation of roofs, facades, chimneys, and envelopes — organized for qualified review teams on the ground. The sample stills on this site are a residential roof and siding, not a tower.
Built for Facility managers, inspectors, and asset owners. Every assignment begins with the decision the media needs to support, the site, access, requested timing, and intended output.
A submitted brief starts a feasibility review. It does not authorize a flight, confirm a date, or create a contract. Conditions and approvals can change what is operationally possible.
Typical deliverables
- Close-range stills of roofs, siding, and envelopes
- Overview + detail set
- Annotated frames on request
Selected sample
Roof And Siding Close-Up
Close-range stills of a residential roof, chimney, shingles, and siding. The kind of envelope packet a roofer or inspector actually uses — not a neighborhood listing aerial.

Tell us the site and the decision the media has to support. We will scope the flight, the deliverables, and whether it is operationally feasible under Part 107.
