🏙️📊 When it comes to property management, data is your best defence. At this site in southwest Florida, drone data and AI analysis are helping engineers and property managers document building conditions before hurricane season — creating a detailed visual record that can be compared after major weather events. This kind of digital documentation isn’t just useful for maintenance planning — it can also play a crucial role in insurance discussions, helping teams clearly demonstrate what damage was new versus pre-existing. 🎥 Listen to Maxwell D.F. Goodacre walk through the inspection workflow below. #DroneInspections #AI #PropertyManagement #BuildingMaintenance #DigitalTwins #BuildingSafety #StormRecovery #Florida

⛈️ Severe weather can cause major damage — but what if you could document and assess your building’s condition before a storm hits? Join us for a live session on Building Roof & Facade Inspections with Drones and AI, where we’ll walk through a real project from Admiralty Point, Florida and show: 🧭 How to plan and execute efficient inspection flights 📷 How to capture high-quality data for roofs and facades 🧠 How AI turns images into actionable insight Perfect for engineers, surveyors, and property managers who want to modernise how they assess and maintain buildings. 📅 9th October, 11am EST 🔗 Link in comments to register #AEC #FacadeInspection #RoofInspection #BuildingInspection #FloridaAEC #Drones #Webinar #DroneWebinar

🚁 Structured drone data doesn’t just improve your 3D models — it helps your bottom line. For architects, engineers, and construction teams, the difference between scattered photos and structured, high-quality datasets can make or break a project. In the guide below, you’ll discover: 🔹 Proven capture strategies for roofs, short and tall buildings, towers, and bridges 🔹 Why collecting two datasets (3D modelling + inspections) delivers maximum value 🔹 How AI turns your drone imagery into actionable insights and learns from your feedback 🔹 Tips for scaling inspections with standardised, repeatable workflows If you’re using drones in AEC, this guide will show you how to save time, improve accuracy, and deliver data that actually plugs into CAD, BIM, and AI tools. Check the comments below for the full guide 👇

🏢 Property managers know the challenge: keeping inspections safe, compliant, and affordable. Traditional methods like scaffolding or rope access are costly, slow, and risky. That’s why more property managers are turning to drone-powered inspections — a faster, safer, and more cost-effective way to survey facades and roofs. ✅ Faster inspections in minutes, not days ✅ Safer operations without scaffolding ✅ High-quality data for accurate reporting ✅ Lower costs across large portfolios At Hammer Missions, we combine drones with AI-powered reporting so property managers can cut inspection costs, stay compliant, and make smarter maintenance decisions.

DJI Mini 5 Pro vs Mini 4 Pro — which drone is better suited for facade and roof inspections? With the release of the DJI Mini 5 Pro, inspection teams are asking how it stacks up against its predecessor in real-world building assessments. In our latest blog, we break down: 🔹 Imaging capabilities for capturing fine structural details 🔹 Obstacle avoidance and safety for urban inspection flights 🔹 Storage, portability, and workflow considerations 🔹 Cost vs. value for AEC professionals For inspection teams, the real question isn’t just “which drone is newer?”, it’s whether the Mini 5 Pro actually improves workflows enough to replace the Mini 4 Pro in facade and roof assessments. 👉 Read the full breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/erN2fn64 #DJI #DJIMini5Pro #DJIMini4Pro #AEC #BuildingInspections #Drones

Our team is taking drones indoors to see what’s possible when the sky isn’t the limit! 🌤️ We’ve been experimenting with drones and exploring how they could be used for capturing data in tight or complex spaces. Exciting things ahead — watch this space as we continue our R&D! #DroneTechnology #Innovation #DataCapture #Drones #ResearchAndDevelopment

👋 Catch Michael Trickey at Building Smart with AI hosted by IIBEC Metro New York Chapter! The full-day symposium taking place in New York City brings together building envelope professionals, architects, engineers, consultants, and tech innovators to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the industry. If you're attending, don't miss the chance to connect with Michael Trickey to talk all things drones, building assessments, and AI, plus how Hammer Missions is transforming building inspections with smarter and safer drone technology. #BuildingSmarterWithAI #AIinConstruction #DroneTechnology #BuildingAssessments #InnovationInBuilding #AI #AEC #ConstructionTechnology #BuildingSmarter #Architecture #Engineering #Contractors #IIBEC #NYCEvents

A common assumption in the drone industry that RTK automatically means “highly accurate data.” 📊 But it’s not that simple. Relative accuracy (the consistency of measurements within your model) has a lot more to do with GSD and camera quality. Absolute accuracy (lining up with real-world coordinates) is where RTK, PPK and GCPs come into play. The tricky part is knowing which one actually matters for your project. If you’re measuring roof areas, facades, or volumes, relative accuracy is usually more than enough. But if you need to align your data with BIM models, survey drawings or design plans, that’s when absolute accuracy becomes critical. The problem is, many teams overspend on hardware or workflows because they haven’t thought through this distinction. So maybe the real question is: are you treating relative and absolute accuracy as separate tools in your kit — and do you know when to reach for each one?
