Commercial Drone Inspections
Defensible thermal and visual data for commercial property managers, facility engineers, and owners across NC. Drone roof, facade, and envelope inspections.
Industry Overview
Managing commercial real estate portfolios requires accurate, timely data on asset conditions. Traditional inspection methods are slow, dangerous, and often miss the things that drive capital decisions. Holmes and Watson provides comprehensive drone inspection services for commercial properties — radiometric thermal roof and facade scans, recurring construction documentation, and post-storm claim packages — delivering the visual data that helps owners and managers prevent catastrophic failures, support capital plans, and defend operating budgets.
Key Inspection Targets
- Flat and low-slope commercial roofs
- Building envelopes and facades
- Parking lots and pavement condition
- HVAC and rooftop unit (RTU) integration
- Multi-building portfolio sequencing
- Acquisition due-diligence condition reports
Operational Process
Pre-Flight Planning
Coordinating with facility managers to ensure safe, minimally disruptive operations.
Data Acquisition
Automated flight paths capture comprehensive thermal and visual data of the asset.
Analysis
Certified thermographers and licensed contractors review the imagery for anomalies and constructability issues.
Actionable Reporting
Delivery of paired RGB and thermal imagery with an annotated professional PDF suitable for facility and capital-planning review.
Final Deliverables
Paired RGB and radiometric thermal imagery, annotated professional PDF reports, and support for facility-management, energy, and capital-planning review. Thermal orthomosaics and 3D thermal models are not standard deliverables.
