Why Facade Inspection Matters Here
Boca Raton's building landscape includes A1A beachfront condominiums, downtown mixed-use towers, corporate office buildings in the Boca Raton Innovation Campus area, and luxury residential communities. Many of these buildings — particularly the 1980s-1990s coastal condos — are approaching or have entered their SB-4D 25-year milestone window. Our drone facade inspections provide complete envelope documentation for Palm Beach County's compliance requirements.
Coastal Considerations
Local Building Challenges
Boca Raton's coastal buildings face direct Atlantic salt exposure that drives concrete deterioration, while inland properties along I-95 and the Turnpike corridors deal with UV degradation and thermal cycling. The city's affluent property market means building owners expect thorough, professional inspection documentation — and SB-4D enforcement in Palm Beach County is proceeding on schedule.

Building Stock Profile
Boca Raton's building stock includes an estimated 100+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 600+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1970s-2010s, with facades primarily consisting of stucco, reinforced concrete, glass curtain wall, Mediterranean-style tile roofs. Boca Raton's strict height ordinances kept most buildings under 10 stories until recent variances, creating a unique inspection landscape where mid-rise buildings with extensive horizontal facades benefit especially from drone coverage.
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 60+ buildings in Boca Raton are approaching or have passed this threshold.

Our Process
How Facade Works in Boca Raton
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute facade inspection for Palm Beach County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Boca Raton 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 Palm Beach County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Boca Raton buildings need SB-4D inspection?
Any building 3+ stories within Boca Raton city limits must comply. As a coastal municipality, the 25-year milestone applies. Buildings with a Certificate of Occupancy from 2001 or earlier should be evaluating their compliance timeline now. Our inspection produces the documentation engineers need for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 milestone reports.
How does Boca Raton's building stock differ from other Palm Beach County cities?
Boca Raton has a higher proportion of 1990s-2000s construction compared to older coastal cities, with a mix of precast concrete towers, stucco-clad mid-rises, and glass corporate office buildings. Many of these structures are now entering their SB-4D 25-year window simultaneously, creating strong demand for inspection services.
Do you inspect both residential and commercial buildings in Boca Raton?
Yes — we inspect all building types including beachfront condominiums, downtown mixed-use towers, office buildings in the corporate corridor, and institutional properties. Each building type receives an inspection approach tailored to its facade materials and regulatory requirements.
