3D Scanning & Drone Services in Florida

THE FUTURE 3D serves all of Florida from our Miami headquarters. We maintain dedicated teams covering South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties) with same-day response, Central Florida (Orlando metro and I-4 corridor), Tampa Bay region (Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties), Jacksonville and Northeast Florida, and the Florida Keys from Key Largo to Key West. With 48 service locations across the state, we provide 1-hour response times throughout Florida. Our coverage includes major metros, suburban communities, coastal areas, and agricultural regions. For remote locations or complex projects requiring specialized equipment, we coordinate logistics to ensure timely service delivery anywhere in the Sunshine State.

Florida project pricing varies based on scope, location, and deliverables required. Standard 3D scanning projects for residential properties typically start around $1,500-3,000. Commercial spaces and larger facilities range from $3,000-10,000 depending on square footage and complexity. Drone photogrammetry for site surveys starts around $2,000-4,000, while comprehensive LiDAR surveying projects range from $5,000-15,000+ for larger sites. Virtual tours for real estate marketing are typically $500-2,000 depending on property size. For condominium milestone inspections and building documentation, we provide volume pricing for associations with multiple buildings. All projects include a free consultation and detailed quote—contact us at +1-347-998-1464 for a customized estimate for your Florida project.

As Florida is our home state with headquarters in Miami, we offer 1-hour response times throughout the state. South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach counties) typically receives same-day service availability, with our teams able to mobilize within hours for urgent projects. Central Florida (Orlando), Tampa Bay, and Jacksonville have dedicated regional resources enabling next-day service for most projects. For complex or large-scale projects requiring multiple scanning systems or specialized equipment, we coordinate deployment to minimize your timeline. Emergency response for post-hurricane damage documentation, insurance claims, or critical facility issues is available 24/7 statewide. Deliverable turnaround depends on project scope: virtual tours typically 24-48 hours, point clouds 48-72 hours, full BIM models 5-10 business days.

Yes, all our drone pilots hold FAA Part 107 commercial certifications with additional training for Florida-specific conditions including coastal operations, high-humidity environments, and afternoon thunderstorm patterns. We maintain LAANC authorizations for controlled airspace throughout Florida, including operations near Miami International Airport (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), Orlando International (MCO), Tampa International (TPA), and Jacksonville International (JAX). Our pilots are trained in coastal wind conditions, salt air equipment considerations, and Florida wildlife awareness requirements. We handle all regulatory compliance, airspace authorizations, and local permitting so you can focus on your project needs.

We deploy industry-leading equipment optimized for Florida conditions including Trimble X12 and NavVis VLX3 terrestrial scanners for survey-grade interior and exterior scanning, achieving plus/minus 2-4mm accuracy. For virtual tours, we use Matterport Pro3 cameras delivering immersive 3D experiences. Our drone fleet includes DJI Matrice 400 RTK for photogrammetry with centimeter-level GPS accuracy and Skydio X10 for complex inspections in challenging environments. For aerial LiDAR, we utilize systems capable of vegetation penetration and precise elevation mapping critical for Florida flood mapping and wetland surveys. All equipment is maintained to manufacturer specifications with redundant systems available to ensure project continuity.

Yes, condominium milestone inspections are a specialty service for our Florida operations. Following the structural inspection requirements enacted after the Champlain Towers tragedy, Florida condominiums must undergo milestone inspections at 30 years (25 years for coastal buildings) and every 10 years thereafter. We provide comprehensive drone aerial documentation of facades, roofs, and building exteriors along with 3D laser scanning of common areas, structural elements, and parking structures. Our deliverables support structural engineers in preparing their PE-certified reports. We work directly with condominium associations, property managers, and engineering firms to provide the documentation needed for compliance. Volume pricing is available for associations with multiple buildings requiring simultaneous documentation.

Absolutely—we frequently scan occupied condominiums, hotels, and commercial buildings throughout Florida with minimal disruption to residents and operations. Our NavVis VLX3 mobile scanner captures large areas quickly without the setup time required by tripod-based systems, reducing time spent in occupied spaces. For sensitive areas, we coordinate scheduling with property management to scan during low-occupancy periods. Our teams are trained in customer-facing environments and maintain professional appearance and conduct. For condominium common areas, we can typically complete scanning during normal business hours. Unit interiors for virtual tours or as-built documentation are scheduled directly with owners. We provide advance notice requirements and coordinate with building staff to ensure smooth operations.

Our Florida operations serve diverse industries reflecting the state's varied economy. Real estate professionals rely on our virtual tours and aerial photography for marketing luxury properties to out-of-state and international buyers. The hospitality sector—including hotels, resorts, theme parks, and cruise lines—uses our services for facility documentation, renovation planning, and marketing content. Construction companies utilize drone progress monitoring, site surveys, and BIM documentation for projects ranging from high-rise condominiums to master-planned communities. Healthcare systems throughout Florida trust us for medical facility documentation and campus mapping. Marine industry clients including yacht builders and marinas require specialized vessel and facility scanning. We also serve engineering firms needing data for milestone inspections, architects requiring as-built documentation, and property managers maintaining large portfolios.

Florida weather requires careful planning for outdoor operations. Our teams monitor conditions closely and schedule accordingly to deliver quality results. For drone operations, we typically fly mornings before afternoon thunderstorms develop during summer months, or adjust schedules around rain events. Coastal wind conditions are managed through equipment selection and timing—our DJI M400 RTK handles winds up to 27 mph while maintaining positioning accuracy. For exterior laser scanning, we avoid direct rain but can operate in overcast conditions. Humidity affects some scanning technologies, so we use equipment rated for Florida conditions and implement appropriate workflows. Interior scanning and virtual tours proceed regardless of weather. For time-sensitive projects, we maintain flexibility to capture ideal weather windows. Hurricane season (June-November) requires contingency planning, but we're also experienced in rapid deployment for post-storm damage documentation.

Yes, we partner extensively with structural engineering firms throughout Florida providing drone and scanning data for their building assessments. Our role is to capture comprehensive visual and dimensional data—engineering firms perform the analysis and provide PE-certified reports. We work with firms including DKK Engineering, CORE Structural Engineers, and numerous other engineering consultants across the state. Our deliverables include high-resolution facade imagery, thermal imaging data identifying moisture intrusion or structural anomalies, 3D point clouds of structural elements, and photogrammetric models for analysis. For milestone inspection support, we provide the comprehensive building documentation engineers need to evaluate structural integrity. We understand Florida building codes, recertification requirements, and the specific documentation formats engineers prefer.
