Formerly, the expenses related to cranes, lifts, helicopter rentals and the number of personnel hours required to properly conduct an investigation proved burdensome. Today, the cost-savings realized can be significant. A higher standard of technical reporting and documentation is well within reach.

Increase turnaround times

The ability to collect the right data in the right way, without equipment rentals and other scheduling issues, results in quantifiable time-savings. In addition to quicker reporting and issue resolution, there is often less down-time for the end-client as a result of a more expedient inspection process.

Increase accuracy

By equipping you with more evidentiary detail, you are in a better position to decide your best course of action. Additionally, high-resolution photography from our drones increases the accuracy and strength of your claims and case work in negotiations and in court, all without jeopardizing the scene or the integrity of the evidence, as human inspections often do.

Increase safety

Both for your designated consultant, as well as for those in and around the property, inspections via unmanned aerial vehicles provide an altogether safer alternative. Of course, we maintain our own liability insurance, but an ounce of risk mitigation…
