Why Construction Monitoring Matters Here
Orlando's construction market includes hospitality developments, residential towers, commercial projects, and infrastructure improvements throughout Orange County. Our drone monitoring provides scheduled progress documentation with georeferenced imagery, orthomosaics, and 3D models for project stakeholders.

Building Stock Profile
Orlando's building stock includes an estimated 150+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 2,000+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1980s-2020s with ongoing downtown and Lake Nona development, with facades primarily consisting of reinforced concrete, glass curtain wall, stucco, EIFS, precast concrete. Orlando has the largest concentration of hospitality and tourism-related commercial buildings in Florida, where facade condition directly impacts guest experience and property revenue — making regular drone inspection a business-critical investment.
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 80+ buildings in Orlando are approaching or have passed this threshold.

Our Process
How Construction Works in Orlando
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute construction monitoring for Orange County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Orlando building's specifics — height, facade materials, access constraints, and Class B 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 Orange County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you manage construction monitoring near MCO in Orlando?
We secure LAANC authorization and coordinate with MCO approach control for flights within the Class B surface area. This is handled by our operations team — your project schedule is not affected by airspace coordination requirements.
Do you monitor theme park and hospitality construction projects in Orlando?
Yes — we monitor construction projects across all property types in the Orlando market. Hospitality and entertainment projects often require enhanced security protocols and restricted photography areas, which we coordinate with project management before the first flight.
Can 3D models be generated from construction monitoring data?
Yes — our monitoring flights capture sufficient overlap for photogrammetric 3D model generation. As-built models can be produced at any milestone for comparison against design documents, supporting quality verification and documentation of completed work.
