Technology That Provides Better Visibility Into Your Building Assets

Technology is changing the way commercial buildings are inspected, cleaned, documented, and maintained.

National Drone Systems evaluates technologies based on one primary question:

How can this technology help a building owner or facility manager make a better decision?

Our technology capabilities may include drone-based inspections, high-resolution imaging, thermal imaging, mapping, 3D modeling, data collection, and other advanced building assessment tools.

Drone-Based Building Inspections

Drone technology can provide access to difficult-to-reach areas while reducing the need for some traditional access methods during initial assessments and documentation.

This can provide building owners and facility teams with a different perspective on roofs, façades, exterior surfaces, elevated structures, and other difficult-to-access areas.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal technology can provide additional information about temperature variations across roofs, façades, mechanical systems, and other building components when used under appropriate conditions.

Rather than relying solely on what can be seen with the human eye, thermal imaging can provide another layer of information for qualified professionals to evaluate.

High-Resolution Visual Documentation

Detailed imagery can help property teams document existing conditions, review areas of concern, communicate with contractors and stakeholders, and maintain historical records of building assets.

Mapping & 3D Documentation

Advanced data collection can create detailed representations of properties and structures that support planning, documentation, measurement, visualization, and asset management.

Turning Data Into Decisions

Technology alone is not the objective.

A drone flight, thermal image, 3D model, map, or high-resolution photograph only becomes valuable when the information helps answer a business or facility-management question.

National Drone Systems focuses on transforming collected information into understandable, actionable information that property owners and facility managers can use.
