Benefits of Drone (UAS) Surveys

Time and Cost Efficiency

  • Inspections completed in a fraction of the time
  • Reduced idle time for crews and equipment
  • Streamlined work preparation and estimation processes
  • Accurate estimates from precise drone (UAS) data
  • Minimized discrepancies between projected and final costs

Improved Safety & Risk Management

  • Elimination of routine but dangerous tasks
  • Reduced risk for inspection personnel
  • Early detection of potential issues prevents costly overruns
  • Comprehensive building envelope assessment without physical risk

Advanced Data Access

  • Live streaming of data and HD aerial images
  • Real-time monitoring of multiple work sites
  • Remote access to project information via mobile devices
  • Faster evaluations reduce project timelines
  • Data-driven decision-making for optimal project outcomes

AirGCI represents a significant step in the digital transformation of the construction industry.

  1. Drones capture high-resolution imagery of the entire building envelope.
  2. Advanced UAS software analyzes data to create detailed 3D models.
  3. AI algorithms identify potential problems and optimize project planning.

AirGCI in Action

GCI Consultants' first drone inspection, conducted in Hollywood, Florida, on November 21, 2016, demonstrated the technology's capabilities:

  • Vertical takeoff and descent
  • Multidirectional flight
  • Stability in 22 mph winds
  • Precise maneuvering

This inaugural flight reduced a week-long inspection process to a single workday, showcasing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of drone technology in building inspections. The drone, or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), allowed a single operator to view parts of the roof that was inaccessible for practical and safety reasons. Beyond the roof, the UAS allowed our team to inspect and additional areas of the building envelope including glazing, cladding, and waterproofing systems.

“We're proud to be part of this transformative moment. AirGCI drones are revolutionizing our roof and overall building inspections. They're delivering efficiency and accuracy like never before, but the impact goes way beyond that. UAS technology is making building inspections safer, faster, and more affordable. Annual property condition assessments are a fraction of the traditional cost, and we're helping building owners find issues earlier. This ultimately supports the lifespan of building systems. It’s a smarter and more effective way to protect their investments.”
