Coral Gables Drone Inspection Services

Coral Gables has an estimated 80+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, all subject to SB-4D milestone inspections. 50+ of these buildings are approaching or have passed the 25-year milestone. Miami-Dade County's Miami-Dade 40-Year Building Recertification may impose earlier deadlines beyond SB-4D.

Yes. In addition to Florida's SB-4D milestone inspections, buildings in Miami-Dade County are subject to the Miami-Dade 40-Year Building Recertification. Many Coral Gables commercial buildings along the Miracle Mile and US-1 corridor are 40-60+ years old, requiring both 40-Year Recertification and SB-4D milestone inspections. Our drone inspections produce documentation that satisfies both programs, and we coordinate with the Miami-Dade County Building Department for all compliance filings.

Coral Gables's building stock features facades primarily consisting of coral rock veneer, stucco, Mediterranean-style tile, reinforced concrete. Buildings from the 1920s-1970s (historic Mediterranean Revival) with modern towers along US-1 era — which make up much of the city's stock — require inspection for material-specific deterioration patterns. Our AI defect detection is trained to identify issues across all of these material types.
