Building Stock Profile
Fort Myers's building stock includes an estimated 50+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 500+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1970s-2010s with post-Hurricane Ian reconstruction, with facades primarily consisting of stucco over CMU, reinforced concrete, painted concrete block. Fort Myers is ground zero for Hurricane Ian recovery — with ongoing reconstruction creating simultaneous demand for construction monitoring of new projects and structural assessment of surviving buildings that may carry hidden storm damage.
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 30+ buildings in Fort Myers are approaching or have passed this threshold.

Our Process
How AI Detection Works in Fort Myers
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute ai-powered defect detection for Lee County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Fort Myers 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, AI defect classifications, repair priorities, and cost estimates — everything Lee County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
AI handles hurricane damage?
Our AI distinguishes impact damage, wind stress patterns, and salt deterioration — classifying each independently for accurate engineering assessment.
Can AI differentiate between old hurricane damage and recent deterioration?
While AI cannot determine exact damage age, it classifies defect patterns associated with impact events differently from progressive deterioration. The PE-certified engineer uses this classification data alongside building history to assess damage origin in the final report.
How does AI handle buildings with multiple damage sources on the Gulf Coast?
Gulf Coast buildings often present layered defects — salt corrosion overlaid with storm damage overlaid with UV degradation. Our AI classifies each defect type independently with its own GPS coordinates and measurements, producing a comprehensive defect inventory rather than a single aggregate rating.
How many defect types can the AI classify?
Our AI classifies up to 20 defect types including cracks, hairline cracks, spalling, delamination, corrosion staining, efflorescence, sealant failure, coating deterioration, biological growth, and structural displacement. Each defect is GPS-referenced and measured.
Does a human engineer review the AI findings?
Yes. Every AI-generated defect inventory is reviewed by a PE-certified engineer before the final report is issued. The AI provides consistent, comprehensive detection; the engineer provides professional judgment on severity and repair priority.
