Building Stock Profile
Gainesville's building stock includes an estimated 15+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 300+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1960s-2000s with university campus buildings spanning decades, with facades primarily consisting of brick veneer, reinforced concrete, stucco, precast concrete. Gainesville's University of Florida campus encompasses hundreds of buildings across a 2,000-acre campus — drone inspection enables efficient assessment of large building portfolios without disrupting university operations.
Regulatory Requirements
Florida's SB-4D legislation requires milestone structural inspections for buildings 3+ stories at 30 years from the Certificate of Occupancy, with subsequent inspections every 10 years. An estimated 10+ buildings in Gainesville are approaching or have passed this threshold.

Our Process
How Construction Works in Gainesville
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute construction monitoring for Alachua County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Gainesville 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 Alachua County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Coverage in North Florida?
We serve construction projects throughout the North Florida region.
What construction phases benefit most from drone monitoring?
Foundation and structural framing, facade installation, roofing, and site grading are the highest-value phases for drone documentation. These phases are difficult to inspect thoroughly from ground level and involve conditions that become concealed as construction progresses.
Can monitoring reports satisfy lender draw requirements?
Yes. Our DroneDeploy-based reports include georeferenced progress imagery, percentage-complete documentation, and timestamped visual evidence that lenders use to verify draw requests. We coordinate report timing with your draw schedule.
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.
