The predominant construction era is 1960s-2010s with downtown renaissance in 2010s-2020s, with facades primarily consisting of stucco over CMU, reinforced concrete, glass curtain wall, painted masonry. St. Petersburg is undergoing a downtown renaissance with major new towers rising alongside a legacy building stock from the 1960s-1980s — creating parallel demand for construction monitoring and structural milestone inspections.

Our Process

How PMP Works in St. Petersburg


From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute preventative maintenance program for Pinellas County properties.

01

Consultation & Planning

We assess your St. Petersburg building's specifics — height, facade materials, access constraints, and local airspace requirements. A detailed flight plan is created and all FAA authorizations secured.

02

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.

03

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.

Frequently Asked Questions


What frequency is recommended for St. Petersburg?

Semi-annual for waterfront buildings, annual for inland peninsula properties. The dual-coast exposure warrants more frequent monitoring than typical coastal cities.

How does dual-coast exposure affect monitoring recommendations for St. Petersburg?

We recommend semi-annual monitoring for all waterfront St. Petersburg buildings, regardless of which coast they face. The combined exposure from Tampa Bay and the Gulf means deterioration can accelerate from unexpected directions. Semi-annual cadence ensures timely detection.

Can the program track the effectiveness of waterproofing treatments in St. Petersburg?

Yes — by establishing baseline thermal and visual data before treatment application and monitoring at subsequent intervals, we measure whether waterproofing treatments are performing as expected. This data supports warranty claims if treatments fail prematurely.
