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 Due Diligence Works in Orlando
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute due diligence inspection 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 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 Orange County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does due diligence inspection cover for Orlando hospitality properties?
We document all exterior surfaces including facades, roofs, parking structures, pool deck areas, and ancillary buildings. For hospitality properties, our reports help investors understand deferred maintenance that could affect operations and guest experience, in addition to structural compliance requirements.
What compliance risks should Orlando property buyers evaluate?
Orlando properties face the 30-year inland SB-4D milestone. Buildings from the mid-1990s are now entering their first compliance window. Our inspection evaluates the building's current condition, estimates remediation costs if deficiencies exist, and identifies the applicable compliance deadline for capital planning.
Can due diligence cover parking structures for Orlando commercial properties?
Yes — parking structures are included in our comprehensive assessments. We document deck surface conditions, railing integrity, column conditions, expansion joint status, and drainage patterns. For Orlando commercial properties, parking structure deferred maintenance can represent a significant undisclosed liability.
