Miami Drone Inspection Services

Miami has an estimated 800+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, all subject to SB-4D milestone inspections. 500+ 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. Miami-Dade's 40-Year Recertification (Chapter 8B) requires structural and electrical inspection at 40 years, with re-inspection every 10 years. This predates SB-4D and applies to all buildings, not just condominiums. Our drone inspections produce documentation that satisfies both programs, and we coordinate with the Miami-Dade County Building Department for all compliance filings.

Miami's building stock features facades primarily consisting of reinforced concrete, glass curtain wall, stucco over CMU, precast concrete panels. Buildings from the 1970s-2000s with significant post-2010 high-rise development 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.

The optimal flight window in Miami is October through May (dry season). This period offers the most consistent weather for reliable data capture. The primary risk factor is hurricane season (june-november) with salt spray corrosion year-round, and annual rainfall averages 62 inches. We schedule around weather patterns to ensure complete coverage in every flight.
