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 Construction Works in Coral Gables
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute construction monitoring 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 construction site. 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 progress 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 Miami-Dade County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you start monitoring a new project?
From our Miami base, we can begin monitoring within 24 hours of engagement. Flight scheduling aligns with your project milestones.
What deliverables does the lender receive from each construction monitoring flight?
Each flight produces georeferenced orthomosaic imagery, annotated progress photos keyed to draw schedule milestones, and a DroneDeploy-hosted site model your lender can review independently. We also provide a one-page progress summary with percent-complete estimates per trade.
Do you need FAA authorization for construction sites near MIA in Miami-Dade?
Yes. Many Miami-Dade construction sites fall within Class B airspace controlled by Miami International Airport. We secure LAANC grid authorization and coordinate NOTAMs as needed. This is handled entirely by our operations team — your project manager receives the confirmed flight window in advance.
