Our Process
How Due Diligence Works in Port St. Lucie
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute due diligence inspection for St. Lucie County properties.
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.
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 St. Lucie County engineers and property managers need to take action.
