Florida's Condo Safety Act (SB 4-D) mandates structural milestone inspections for buildings 3+ stories and 30+ years old. Drone-assisted surveys capture every facade surface faster, safer, and at lower cost than rope access or scaffolding.
SB 4-D Deadline Notice
Buildings that reached 30 years by December 31, 2024 must have Phase 1 completed. Buildings turning 30 after that date must inspect within 2 years of their 30th anniversary. Fines for non-compliance begin at $1,000/day. Don't wait — inspection slots fill quickly.
Years old — the age trigger for Phase 1 inspection under SB 4-D
Stories — buildings below 3 floors are exempt from the mandate
Coastal proximity — buildings within 3 miles of the coast have stricter Phase 2 requirements
From kick-off call to delivered report in as little as 72 hours.
We collect address, building height, GPS coordinates, and any local airspace restrictions. FAA LAANC authorization is filed automatically for controlled airspace.
A pre-planned autonomous flight captures each facade face at up to 1–2 cm/pixel resolution. Every photo is GPS-tagged and timestamped.
Each image is processed through our YOLO-based ensemble model trained on South Florida building defects: spalling, delamination, exposed rebar, efflorescence, and active cracks.
A licensed engineer-ready PDF with bounding-box annotations, GPS-referenced defect locations, severity classifications, and a prioritized remediation checklist.
Concrete surface fractures exposing rebar to salt air — highest risk in coastal buildings
Corroding steel telegraphs immediate structural risk; visible as rust staining or protrusions
Salt crystal deposits indicating water infiltration through concrete or masonry
Width-graded crack mapping distinguishing cosmetic hairlines from structural movement
Window and expansion joint sealant breakdown leading to water intrusion
Underside spalling on cantilevered balconies — common in 1970–1990 Florida construction
