Our Process

How Construction Works in Port St. Lucie


From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute construction monitoring 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 construction site. 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 progress 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 quickly can monitoring start?

Typically within 24-48 hours from our South Florida base.

What does a typical construction monitoring deliverable include?

Each flight produces georeferenced orthomosaics, 3D progress models via DroneDeploy, and annotated comparison overlays against the approved plans. Lenders and project managers receive a formatted report within 48 hours of each scheduled flight.

Can monitoring capture both vertical construction and site conditions?

Yes. Our flights document vertical structural progress, facade installation, roofing work, and site-level conditions including grading, utilities, and staging areas. The combined documentation gives all stakeholders a complete project status view.

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.
