Building Stock Profile
Coral Gables's building stock includes an estimated 80+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 500+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1920s-1970s (historic Mediterranean Revival) with modern towers along US-1, with facades primarily consisting of coral rock veneer, stucco, Mediterranean-style tile, reinforced concrete. Coral Gables has strict historic preservation ordinances that make facade condition monitoring especially critical — early detection of deterioration prevents costly remediation that must comply with the city's architectural review board.
Regulatory Requirements
Coral Gables buildings are subject to both Florida's SB-4D milestone inspection at 25 years and Miami-Dade County's 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 Process
How 3D Mapping Works in Coral Gables
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute 3d mapping for Miami-Dade County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Coral Gables building's specifics — height, facade materials, access constraints, and local airspace requirements. A detailed flight plan is created and all FAA authorizations secured.
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.
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.
Report Delivery & Action Plan
Your PE-certified report is delivered promptly. It includes high-resolution imagery, 3D models, point clouds, and printable orthomosaics — everything Miami-Dade County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does 3D mapping support building assessment in Miami-Dade?
Precise geometric data enables accurate structural analysis, facade restoration design, and capital planning — essential for buildings approaching 40-Year or SB-4D milestones.
What accuracy can we expect from a 3D model of our Miami-Dade building?
Our photogrammetric models achieve 1-inch (25mm) accuracy verified against ground control points. For Miami-Dade buildings with complex facade geometry — curved balconies, setbacks, or decorative elements — this resolution captures details that flat elevation drawings miss.
Can the 3D model integrate into our architect's BIM workflow?
Yes. We deliver in industry-standard formats including RVT (Revit), DWG/DXF (AutoCAD), and OBJ/FBX for visualization software. Your design team can import the as-built model directly into their BIM environment for renovation planning, clash detection, or facade restoration scope development.
