Building Stock Profile
Naples's building stock includes an estimated 80+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 400+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1980s-2020s, with facades primarily consisting of stucco, reinforced concrete, Mediterranean-style tile, glass curtain wall. Naples' Park Shore and Gulf Shore corridors contain some of the highest-value condominiums in Florida, where Hurricane Ian (2022) demonstrated that even premium buildings are vulnerable — post-storm inspection demand remains elevated years after the event.
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 50+ buildings in Naples are approaching or have passed this threshold.

Our Process
How Due Diligence Works in Naples
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute due diligence inspection for Collier County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Naples 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 exterior surfaces. A typical inspection 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 inspection 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 Collier County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
What hurricane-related risks should Naples buyers assess?
Concealed facade damage, roof system integrity, moisture pathways in building assemblies, and balcony structural conditions are the primary post-Ian concerns. Our inspection specifically documents these items.
What post-hurricane due diligence considerations are specific to Naples?
Concealed hurricane damage, deferred insurance claim issues, and accelerated deterioration from storm-compromised building elements are the primary post-Ian due diligence concerns. Our inspection specifically evaluates these factors and estimates the financial exposure they represent for the acquisition.
Can you assess whether previous Naples hurricane repairs were done properly?
Our inspection documents current conditions of repaired areas — identifying situations where repairs may have been cosmetic rather than structural, where moisture was sealed behind facade surfaces, or where repair materials are incompatible with the original construction. These findings directly affect acquisition risk assessment.
