Our Process

How AI Detection Works in Port St. Lucie


From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute ai-powered defect detection for St. Lucie County properties.

01

Consultation & Planning

We assess your Port St. Lucie 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, AI defect classifications, repair priorities, and cost estimates — everything St. Lucie County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions


How accurate is AI analysis?

Our AI processes 100% of imagery with consistent standards, reviewed by a PE-certified engineer for the final report.

What specific defect types does the AI classify on South Florida buildings?

Our AI classifies 20 defect types including spalling, delamination, cracking patterns, efflorescence, coating failure, sealant degradation, corrosion staining, and water staining. In South Florida, salt-driven corrosion and humidity-related defects are the most frequently identified categories.

How does AI defect detection integrate with the PE-certified report?

The AI generates a preliminary defect map with GPS coordinates, affected area measurements, and severity classifications. A PE-certified engineer reviews every classification, adjusts as needed, and signs the final report. This combination provides both comprehensive coverage and professional accountability.

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.
