Our Transport Canada–certified pilots use advanced flight planning and high-resolution imaging to capture every detail—even on complex facades. With rapid turnaround and comprehensive wide and zoomed grid images, we help property managers, construction teams, and institutions spot issues early, plan maintenance effectively, and ensure compliance.

Challenges We Solve:

  • High costs and delays from rope or platform inspections

  • Missed damage due to limited visibility

  • Safety risks and building disruptions

What You Get:

  • Deployment and results in as little as one day

  • 4K video and high-res grid photos

  • Optional structural engineer review

Industries We Serve:

  • Commercial real estate (towers, mixed-use)

  • Construction (progress tracking, QA/QC, compliance)

  • Institutional (universities, hospitals, government buildings)

Clients choose us because we’re reliable, responsive, and focused on value. If you need accurate, efficient, and budget-friendly façade inspections, Recon Aerial Calgary is your trusted partner.

Why Drone Façade Inspections Are the Smart Choice

Drones are designed to capture high-resolution imagery from above, making them the perfect tool for assessing building exteriors. When it comes to spotting façade defects, no ground-based camera can match the accuracy, perspective, or safety of a drone inspection.

Unlike handheld systems limited by angles or obstructions, drones provide a true perpendicular view of walls and rooftops—essential for detecting displacement, surface cracks, and material damage from every angle, including top-down perspectives.

Why Choose Drone Façade Inspections?

  • Faster and more affordable than rope access or scaffolding

  • Early detection prevents costly repairs

  • Superior visuals from hard-to-reach areas

Common Issues We Identify:

  • Vertical or corner cracks

  • Loose or displaced cladding/panels

  • Failing sealant joints and mortar erosion

  • Peeling paint, sill separation, and corrosion

  • Window integrity issues and water leaks

Why it matters? One word—GRAVITY.
Loose façade elements can fall, posing serious risks and liability. Drone inspections help you identify hazards early and take corrective action with a clear, documented record. In regions like Quebec, façade inspections are even required by law every five years for buildings over five storeys.

Having this documentation is also invaluable if seismic activity or nearby construction vibrations cause disputes over structural damage—it clearly shows the “before and after.”

Protect your property, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce liability with Recon Aerial Calgary’s professional drone façade inspection services.
