Drone Inspections
Milrose partners with experienced drone pilots to perform close-up building façade inspections, giving owners and project teams visibility that traditional methods alone cannot match. The result is a safer, more efficient process with minimal disruption to building operations.
Using photogrammetry, we capture thousands of high-resolution images to create precise 2D and 3D models of the building exterior. These scaled visuals allow our architects and engineers to accurately assess conditions, define repair scope, and develop more reliable pricing. This leads to better planning, fewer surprises, and stronger control over project timelines and budgets. Drone inspections can also incorporate infrared technology to identify moisture intrusion and hidden leaks, providing deeper insight into conditions not visible at the surface.
Drone technology enhances documentation and visibility, but it does not replace in-person inspections. It works alongside hands-on evaluations by licensed professionals to ensure accurate analysis and informed decision-making.
In addition to compliance-driven use cases, drone inspections are a valuable tool for preventative maintenance, especially for low-rise buildings or properties not subject to FISP. Routine assessments help identify issues early, extend the life of building systems, and reduce long-term repair costs.
Drone inspections are well suited for a wide range of project types:
- 6 Stories and higher
- Difficult-to-rig Buildings
- Buildings on a tight deadline
- Buildings Requiring 100% documentation
- Accurate Detailed Scoping
- Buildings with a lot of damage
- Decorative / Landmark Buildings
- Emergency Investigations
- Cataloging of Stones, Materials
- Structurally Damaged Buildings
- Fire Damaged Buildings
- Preventative Building Maintenance
- Infared Leak Detection

See What Ground-Level Inspections Miss
Some building conditions can’t be safely or effectively evaluated from the ground. Drone technology gives inspectors access to rooftops, facades, and hard-to-reach areas without scaffolding or swing stages, reducing cost, risk, and project disruption. Our licensed drone operators work alongside licensed engineers to capture the detail needed for accurate condition assessments and regulatory filings.
Still have questions about Drone Inspections?
What are drone inspections for building facades?
Drone inspections use aerial technology to capture high-resolution images of building facades, allowing for detailed evaluation of structural conditions and exterior systems without traditional access methods.
How do drone inspections improve building inspections?
Drone inspections provide faster, safer, and more detailed building inspections by capturing thousands of images that create accurate 2D and 3D models for analysis and repair planning.
What types of buildings benefit from drone facade inspections?
Drone facade inspections are ideal for high-rise buildings, difficult-to-access structures, landmark properties, and buildings with visible damage or tight project timelines.
Are drone inspections more accurate than traditional inspection methods?
Yes, drone inspections offer enhanced accuracy by providing full building coverage and detailed visual data, helping identify issues that may be missed with limited manual inspections.
What information do drone inspections provide for construction planning?
Drone inspections deliver detailed condition assessments, visual mapping, and precise data that help project teams scope repairs, estimate costs, and reduce unexpected change orders.
How can Milrose help with drone inspections?
Milrose provides advanced drone inspection services using high-resolution imaging and photogrammetry to deliver accurate building assessments, improve project planning, and support safer, more efficient inspections.
