Preventative Maintenance Program in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Structured drone inspection programs for Fort Lauderdale property managers and building associations — scheduled monitoring with trend analysis.
PMP in Fort Lauderdale
Why Preventative Maintenance Program Matters Here
Our preventative maintenance programs give Fort Lauderdale building managers a systematic approach to facade and roof condition monitoring. Scheduled drone flights — quarterly, semi-annual, or annual — establish a condition baseline and track deterioration over time. For Broward County buildings navigating both BSIP and SB-4D requirements, continuous monitoring converts reactive emergency repairs into planned, budgeted maintenance.
Coastal Considerations
Local Building Challenges
Fort Lauderdale's salt environment accelerates facade deterioration at rates that surprise property managers who have not established a monitoring baseline. A building that appeared sound two years ago may show significant spalling or corrosion progression. Our program quantifies these changes and alerts you before minor issues become major repairs.

Building Stock Profile
Fort Lauderdale's building stock includes an estimated 400+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 2,000+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1960s-2000s with significant post-2015 luxury tower development, with facades primarily consisting of reinforced concrete, glass curtain wall, stucco over CMU, aluminum composite panels. Fort Lauderdale's 2023 record flooding event (25+ inches in a single day) caused widespread moisture intrusion in buildings across the city, making thermal drone inspection critical for detecting hidden water damage in hundreds of structures.
Regulatory Requirements
Fort Lauderdale buildings are subject to both Florida's SB-4D milestone inspection at 25 years and Broward County's Broward County BSIP. Broward's BSIP requires inspections at 25 years for buildings 3+ stories — matching SB-4D coastal timing. Reports must include color photos and standardized BORA forms.

Our Process
How PMP Works in Fort Lauderdale
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute preventative maintenance program for Broward County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Fort Lauderdale building's specifics — height, facade materials, access constraints, and Class C 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 construction site. A typical mapping 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 progress 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 Broward County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a maintenance program help Fort Lauderdale condo associations with SIRS?
Florida law requires condo associations to fund Structural Integrity Reserve Studies based on actual building conditions. Our maintenance program provides the objective, quantified data that engineers need to prepare accurate SIRS reports. Without this data, reserve studies rely on assumptions that may significantly underestimate or overestimate funding needs.
Can we start a maintenance program mid-year for our Fort Lauderdale building?
Yes — programs can begin at any time. We conduct an initial baseline assessment and then schedule subsequent flights based on your preferred cadence. For Fort Lauderdale buildings, we typically recommend the first follow-up before hurricane season (May) regardless of when the baseline was captured.
How do you track and compare condition changes between inspection cycles?
Each flight captures the same building surfaces with consistent methodology, allowing direct comparison between cycles. Our reports include side-by-side imagery of monitored defects, measured changes in crack width or spalling area, and deterioration rate calculations. This data shows exactly which areas are stable and which are progressing.
