Coral Gables Aircraft & Helicopter Capture FAQ

Do I need Board of Architects approval before scanning my Coral Gables property?
Scanning itself doesn't require Board of Architects approval - it's non-invasive documentation. However, if you're scanning as part of a renovation project, our documentation can support your Board of Architects application. We provide deliverables formatted for the city's review process.
Can you scan estates in gated communities like Gables Estates?
Yes, we work regularly in Coral Gables gated communities. We coordinate with community security for access approval, provide required insurance documentation, and schedule around community guidelines. Most gated communities require 24-72 hours advance notice.
How do you capture the details of Mediterranean Revival architecture?
Our Leica RTC360 laser scanners capture ornamental details like decorative tiles, wrought iron, carved stone, and barrel tile roofs with millimeter accuracy. This level of detail is important for historic preservation documentation and renovation planning that meets Coral Gables' strict architectural standards.
Can you provide documentation for Historic Preservation Board submissions?
Yes, we provide preservation-quality documentation including accurate floor plans, elevations, and 3D models that meet Historic Preservation Board and Board of Architects requirements. Our deliverables can be formatted for city submission and include the detailed measurements these boards require.
What's involved in scanning a large Coral Gables estate?
Large estates often include the main house, guest house, pool house, and extensive grounds. We typically scan 5,000-20,000 sqft of interior space plus aerial capture of the property. A comprehensive estate project takes 1-2 days on-site, with deliverables ready within 1-2 weeks depending on scope.
