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 Construction Works in Fort Myers
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute construction monitoring 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 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 Lee County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rebuild monitoring?
Yes — post-hurricane rebuild projects receive thorough documentation at every phase.
What documentation do Gulf Coast rebuild projects require?
Post-hurricane rebuilds typically require documentation of demolition scope, structural remediation, new construction progress, and code compliance at each phase. Our monitoring captures all of these with georeferenced imagery that satisfies lender, insurer, and building department requirements.
Can monitoring verify compliance with updated building codes?
Our documentation provides visual evidence of construction methods, materials, and installation quality at each phase. While we do not perform code inspections, our imagery gives your building department inspector and structural engineer the visual documentation they need to verify compliance with current wind-load and flood-zone requirements.
What deliverables does each monitoring flight produce?
Each flight generates georeferenced orthomosaic imagery, annotated progress photos keyed to your draw schedule, a DroneDeploy-hosted interactive model, and a progress summary with estimated percent-complete by trade or phase.
Can lenders access the monitoring data directly?
Yes. We provide DroneDeploy viewer access to designated stakeholders including lenders, owners, and project managers. They can review progress independently with measurement tools, annotation, and comparison views.
