Drone Surveys

We offer professional drone surveys, aerial drone images and videos, LiDAR scans, 2D othormosaic maps, 2D CAD drawings, 3D meshes, 3D models, and 3D flythroughs for building or site inspection with drones operated by our FAA Licensed pilots, more informed planning and decision making.

  • Capture high resolution aerial video and images
  • Inspect hard to reach areas, such as roofs and facades safely
  • Eliminate the need to rent heavy equipment like cranes or scaffolding
  • Document projects from preconstruction through closeout
  • Identify damage, cracks, and water pooling around structures
  • Capture topographic data for geo-referenced 2D orthomosaic maps
  • Combine with a terrestrial 3D laser scan for comprehensive site documentation

Drone Survey Services explained

Drone surveys capture highly-detailed and comprehensive site data quickly.

Drones provide instant site images and video, so our clients have accurate information to make decisions. They are a safe, cost-effective tool for as-built reality capture, remote inspections, and project monitoring. By integrating drone services with 3D laser scanning, clients can receive detailed 2D maps and 3D models that enhance project planning and execution.

Case Studies

The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul

This exquisite Cathedral built in 1838, made of Connecticut Brownstone, was in immediate need of a full exterior renovation. Years of weather and corrosion had taken its toll on this iconic part of the Providence skyline. Partnering with the Diocese of Providence and renowned architectural firm DBVW, Existing Conditions deployed advanced terrestrial 3D laser scanning equipment, along with our fleet of aerial drones, to safely and quickly provide the team with unprecedented situational awareness of a large building and deliver 2D CAD drawings of superior quality to be used as a basis for the exterior restoration.

Longwood Towers Apartments

Situated in Brookline, Massachusetts, Longwood Towers Apartments is a residential complex 11 stories tall featuring classic Gothic towers. These buildings, constructed around the turn of the last century, were in need of a comprehensive exterior envelope survey. A comprehensive exterior envelope survey, also known as a building envelope condition survey, is a detailed inspection of a building's exterior to assess its condition and identify any issues that may require repair. Recognizing the challenge posed by the building's height, Existing Conditions employed not only terrestrial 3D laser scanning but also utilized aerial drone imagery to capture intricate details, particularly in areas where the building had deteriorated. This reality capture approach provided invaluable situational awareness to the design team to evaluate the building and address any potential issues that might require repair or replacement.

South Street Power Station

The South Street Station is an historic electrical power generation station at 360 Eddy Street in Providence, Rhode Island. Situated in the heart of Providence, the South Street Power Station, originally built in 1912 and left abandoned for an extended period, underwent a remarkable revival thanks to DBVW Architects and the assistance of Existing Conditions. By providing accurate 3D laser scanning services to generate 2D drawings, Existing Conditions played a crucial role in enabling DBVW Architects to rejuvenate the building. Renamed the South Street Landing, it has emerged as a vibrant hub for the academic community at Brown University. The transformation has attracted other businesses and entities, making a significant and positive impact on the surrounding community.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Drone Survey?

A drone survey, also known as aerial surveying or drone mapping, is the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to collect data from the air to create maps and models. Drones are equipped with cameras and sensors to capture high-resolution images and other data. The data is then processed to create detailed maps and models of the area being surveyed.

‍

What is a Digital Twin?

A digital twin is highly complex 3D virtual model of a physical building or infrastructure project that is the exact counterpart (or twin). Existing Conditions uses 3D laser scanners to collect real-time data in the form of point cloud and create a digital twin. Data can be easily visualized, measured, and analyzed. Digital twins can be used to improve efficiencies, optimize workflows and detect problems before they occur.

How is CAD different from BIM?

CAD is technology and software designed to produce precise technical drawings —replacing manual hand-drawn and drafting techniques with a digital process. CAD is used in many fields, including architecture and engineering, to create accurate and efficient representations of sites.

BIM, or Building Information Modeling, is a process of visualizing a digital representation of a physical asset via the 3D model and includes richer levels of data, including information on materials and equipment. Architects, engineers, and construction managers can track and monitor a building through its entire lifecycle, from initial design to construction, operations, and maintenance. Project teams can collaborate, share information, and monitor project costs using BIM.
