Building Stock Profile

Boca Raton's building stock includes an estimated 100+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 600+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1970s-2010s, with facades primarily consisting of stucco, reinforced concrete, glass curtain wall, Mediterranean-style tile roofs. Boca Raton's strict height ordinances kept most buildings under 10 stories until recent variances, creating a unique inspection landscape where mid-rise buildings with extensive horizontal facades benefit especially from drone coverage.

Regulatory Requirements

Florida's SB-4D legislation requires milestone structural inspections for buildings 3+ stories at 25 years from the Certificate of Occupancy, with subsequent inspections every 10 years. An estimated 60+ buildings in Boca Raton are approaching or have passed this threshold.

Our Process

How 3D Mapping Works in Boca Raton


From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute 3d mapping for Palm Beach County properties.

01

Consultation & Planning

We assess your Boca Raton building's specifics — height, facade materials, access constraints, and local airspace requirements. A detailed flight plan is created and all FAA authorizations secured.

02

Drone Data Capture

FAA Part 107 certified pilots deploy commercial drones equipped with 50MP cameras to systematically capture your building's exterior surfaces. A typical mapping flight takes 4-8 hours depending on building size.

03

AI Analysis & Engineering Review

Captured imagery is processed through our AI defect detection pipeline, classifying up to 20 defect types with GPS coordinates. A Florida-licensed Professional Engineer reviews the findings and prepares the inspection report.

04

Report Delivery & Action Plan

Your PE-certified report is delivered promptly. It includes high-resolution imagery, 3D models, point clouds, and printable orthomosaics — everything Palm Beach County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions


How long does 3D mapping take for a Boca Raton building?

Drone flight takes 4-8 hours depending on building size, with processing and deliverables completed within 3-5 business days.

Can you create elevation drawings from 3D mapping data for Boca Raton buildings?

Yes — our point clouds generate accurate facade elevation drawings in any orientation. These orthographic views are delivered as scaled PDFs or DWG files, providing measured facade documentation for scope development, bid packages, and engineering analysis.

How does 3D mapping accuracy compare to traditional surveying for Boca Raton projects?

Our photogrammetric 3D mapping achieves 1-inch accuracy — comparable to traditional total station surveys for exterior measurements. The advantage is speed and completeness: we capture millions of points across the entire building surface in hours, versus days of selective point-by-point surveying.
