Commercial Drone Services for Enterprise Assets

We turn physical infrastructure into data your team can act on. Asset and roof inspections, survey-grade LiDAR and mapping, construction documentation, and commercial aerial media, flown by FAA Part 107 certified pilots out of Orlando and delivered across Florida.

What we actually do

The asset is physical. The decision is made from data.

Somebody has to sign off on a roof, a corridor, a pay application, or a listing. Traditionally that meant scaffolding, a rope team, a lift, or a survey crew walking a wooded tract for a week, and it meant the work got deferred until something failed. That deferral is the actual cost.

We remove the access problem. A sensor goes where the person can’t go safely or cheaply, and what comes back isn’t a folder of pretty photos, it’s a measurable record: located thermal findings, a bare-earth surface tied to control, a dated progress ledger, a colorized point cloud your engineers can inspect from their desks.

We’re based in Orlando and we work across Florida, from the Gulf coast to the Atlantic to Jacksonville, with nationwide deployment for enterprise partners who need one operator across a portfolio.

Why Operators Call Us

Built for sites you can’t shut down

  • No lifts, no scaffolding, no rope teams for most inspections, which removes the working-at-height risk and the downtime that comes with it.
  • Engineering-grade output, not marketing footage. Point clouds, DTMs, contours, and orthomosaics that open in the software your team already uses.
  • Aerial paired with terrestrial where structures cast data shadows, so you get a zero-occlusion dataset instead of a model with holes in it.
  • Repeatable flight paths for progress work, so month twelve frames identically to month one and the set reads as a record.
  • Airspace handled before the shoot, including controlled airspace near Florida’s major airports.
  • One operator across a portfolio, so multi-site programs stay consistent instead of varying by vendor.

Recent work

A silo complex documented in two days

An industrial manufacturer needed four 110-foot silos, a roof complex, and the conveyor gantries between them assessed without pausing production. We captured the whole site in two days of flight time with zero downtime, and their engineers ran the inspection from headquarters.

Who We Serve

The teams on the other end of the data

Utility & energy

Transmission corridors, substations, and solar arrays inspected without walking miles of line.

Engineering & civil

Bare-earth topography, contours, and volumes that hold up against grading and drainage design.

Construction & development

Milestone documentation that speeds lender draws and settles sequencing questions later.

Commercial real estate

Roof condition on a portfolio, plus air-to-interior media for Class-A listings.

Hospitality & destination

Resort and course media built for booking engines and international campaigns.

Heritage & specialty

Non-destructive documentation of fragile and historic assets, indoors and out.

FAQ

Common questions

What owners, engineers, and asset managers ask us before the first flight.

What kind of clients do you work with?

Mostly commercial and institutional: utility and energy operators, engineering and civil firms, general contractors and developers, commercial property owners and managers, and the agencies and brokerages that market large assets. If the asset is tall, spread out, expensive to shut down, or dangerous to reach on foot, that’s usually where we come in.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Every flight is run by an FAA Part 107 certified pilot and we carry commercial insurance. We also handle the airspace authorizations, including the controlled airspace around Florida’s busier airports, and we tell you before the invoice if a site can’t be flown legally.

Do you only work in Orlando?

Orlando is home and where our office is, but we work across Florida and deploy nationwide for enterprise partners. We have service pages for Tampa, Sarasota, Naples, Miami, West Palm Beach, and Jacksonville, and we route multi-site portfolios together so you’re not booking one location at a time.

What do you actually deliver at the end of a project?

It depends on what you need to decide. That might be edited 4K and thermal imagery with a written condition report, a survey-grade point cloud and bare-earth DTM with contours, a measurable orthomosaic, a 3D model or digital twin, or licensed photo and video for a campaign. We scope the deliverable and the file formats before we fly, not after.

How quickly can you get out to a site?

A single asset is usually flown within a few business days. Portfolios get routed together, and after a hurricane, when demand spikes statewide, existing clients get scheduled first. Tell us the deadline up front and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

Can you work alongside our engineers or our existing survey team?

That’s most of our enterprise work. We deliver into the workflow you already have, in the formats your team opens, whether that’s Autodesk Civil 3D, Bentley MicroStation, ArcGIS, or plain georeferenced imagery. We’re there to remove the access problem, not to replace your engineers.
