Drone Inspection for Real Estate
Make confident acquisition decisions and manage portfolio risk with comprehensive drone-based building condition assessments. Our AI-powered inspections give real estate professionals the objective data they need — before closing, during ownership, and at disposition.
The Challenge
Real Estate Inspection Challenges
Incomplete Due Diligence Data
Traditional property inspections cover a fraction of the building envelope. Critical defects on upper facades, hidden roofing issues, and thermal anomalies go undetected — leading to unexpected capital expenditures after acquisition.
Subjective Condition Reports
Manual inspection findings are narrative-based and vary by inspector. Two inspectors examining the same building may produce very different reports, making it difficult to compare assets objectively.
SB-4D Compliance Risk
Florida SB-4D requires milestone structural inspections for buildings 3+ stories. Properties approaching the 25-year (coastal) or 30-year (inland) threshold carry compliance risk that must be factored into acquisition analysis.
Portfolio Condition Tracking
Managing building condition across a portfolio requires consistent methodology and quantifiable metrics. Inconsistent inspection approaches make it impossible to compare asset conditions or prioritize capital allocation.
Our Solution
How AERIALLY.AI Solves These Challenges
90-100% Envelope Coverage
Our drones capture every facade surface, roof plane, and structural element — not just accessible areas. You see the complete picture before making investment decisions.
AI-Quantified Defect Data
Machine learning classifies defects with GPS coordinates and calculated square footage. The result is a quantified inventory — not subjective field notes — that supports precise scope-of-work estimates.
PE-Certified Engineering Reports
Every inspection report is certified by a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer. This level of documentation supports due diligence requirements, lender requests, and legal proceedings.
Consistent Portfolio Methodology
The same AI classification standards apply across every building in your portfolio. Compare asset conditions objectively and allocate capital where it matters most.

How does drone inspection improve real estate due diligence?
Traditional due diligence inspections cover roughly 10% of a building's exterior. Our drone inspections capture 90-100% of the facade and roof, revealing defects that ground-based inspections miss. The AI defect analysis provides quantified data — square footage of damage, GPS-referenced locations, severity classifications — rather than subjective observations. This gives investors precise repair cost estimates for negotiation and reserve planning.
What does the inspection report include?
Each report includes high-resolution drone imagery, AI defect classifications with GPS coordinates, calculated defect areas, severity scoring, repair priority recommendations, and cost estimates. Reports are PE-certified by a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer. Deliverables are available in PDF, Excel, and interactive map formats.
How long does a due diligence inspection take?
The drone flight typically takes 4-8 hours depending on building size. AI analysis runs overnight. Your PE-certified report is delivered promptly. For time-sensitive transactions, we can prioritize expedited delivery.
Can you inspect multiple properties in a portfolio?
Yes. We offer portfolio inspection packages with consistent methodology across all properties. This enables objective condition comparison and capital allocation prioritization. Volume pricing is available for portfolios of 5+ buildings.
Do your reports meet lender requirements?
Yes. Our PE-certified reports meet the documentation standards required by commercial lenders, insurance carriers, and legal proceedings. Reports include the level of detail and professional certification that institutional stakeholders expect.
