Building Stock Profile
St. Petersburg's building stock includes an estimated 100+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 800+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1960s-2010s with downtown renaissance in 2010s-2020s, with facades primarily consisting of stucco over CMU, reinforced concrete, glass curtain wall, painted masonry. St. Petersburg is undergoing a downtown renaissance with major new towers rising alongside a legacy building stock from the 1960s-1980s — creating parallel demand for construction monitoring and structural milestone inspections.
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 St. Petersburg are approaching or have passed this threshold.

Our Process
How 3D Mapping Works in St. Petersburg
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute 3d mapping for Pinellas County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your St. Petersburg 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 Pinellas County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you map historic waterfront buildings in St. Petersburg?
Yes — our photogrammetry captures all architectural styles and surface complexities with high precision.
Can 3D mapping document St. Petersburg's mural arts district buildings?
Yes — our photogrammetric capture renders facade murals and artwork with photorealistic color accuracy in the 3D model. This documentation serves both artistic preservation and building maintenance planning, as the underlying facade condition is visible alongside the art.
How does 3D mapping integrate with restoration projects in St. Petersburg?
The 3D model provides precise existing-condition geometry that restoration architects use for design development. Measurements extracted from the model reduce field visits, and the model serves as a visual communication tool for stakeholder presentations and permit applications.
