Why 3D Mapping Matters Here
Our 3D mapping creates precise digital models of Jacksonville buildings with 1-inch accuracy — supporting renovation planning, structural assessment, and As-Built Documentation for Duval County design professionals.
Coastal Considerations
Local Building Challenges
Jacksonville's older building stock, particularly in Riverside, San Marco, and Downtown, often lacks current As-Built Documentation. Our 3D mapping provides the geometric foundation for engineering and design work.

Building Stock Profile
Jacksonville's building stock includes an estimated 100+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 1,500+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1960s-2010s with significant riverfront development, with facades primarily consisting of reinforced concrete, brick veneer, glass curtain wall, precast concrete, stucco. Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the continental United States, with building stock spread across 874 square miles — drone inspection eliminates the logistical challenge of deploying scaffolding crews across this vast geography.
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 Jacksonville are approaching or have passed this threshold.

Our Process
How 3D Mapping Works in Jacksonville
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute 3d mapping for Duval County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Jacksonville building's specifics — height, facade materials, access constraints, and Class C 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 Duval County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you map buildings in Jacksonville's historic districts?
Yes — we map buildings of any age and architectural style. Historic structures in Riverside and San Marco are excellent candidates for 3D documentation, supporting preservation planning and rehabilitation design.
Can 3D mapping support historic preservation in Jacksonville's Riverside district?
Yes — our photogrammetric models capture architectural details with millimeter precision, supporting Historic Preservation Board reviews, restoration design, and documentation of character-defining features. The 3D record serves as a permanent baseline for monitoring changes to historic structures.
How large of an area can be mapped in a single Jacksonville deployment?
A single deployment can map individual buildings, multi-building campuses, or city blocks depending on the project scope. For larger area mapping, we plan multi-day flights covering up to several city blocks per day with consistent accuracy across the entire survey area.
