Miami Beach Drone Inspections FAQ

Do you need Historic Preservation Board approval to scan Art Deco buildings in Miami Beach?
Scanning itself doesn't require Historic Preservation Board approval - it's non-invasive documentation. However, if you're scanning as part of a renovation project, the board may require the documentation as part of your application. We provide preservation-quality documentation that meets HPB standards.
Can you scan hotel rooms while guests are staying at the property?
We coordinate with hotel management to scan vacant rooms, typically during turnover periods or scheduled maintenance windows. For larger projects, we can capture representative room types without disrupting occupied rooms. Most hotels prefer early morning sessions before housekeeping begins.
How do you handle the bright beach light when scanning Miami Beach condos?
Our Matterport Pro3 cameras use advanced HDR processing that balances bright oceanfront views with interior lighting. For marketing tours, we often recommend capturing during golden hour or overcast conditions for the most flattering results that showcase both interiors and the famous Miami Beach views.
Are drone flights allowed over Ocean Drive and the beach?
Drone flights in Miami Beach require FAA LAANC authorization due to Class B airspace, plus coordination with the City of Miami Beach for commercial operations. Beach areas and Ocean Drive have additional restrictions during peak hours due to crowds. We typically schedule drone work for early morning (before 8 AM) and coordinate all required approvals.
Can you create 3D documentation of historic Art Deco details for preservation?
Yes, our laser scanning captures intricate Art Deco ornamental details with millimeter accuracy. This documentation is valuable for preservation planning, restoration work, and Historic Preservation Board submissions. We've documented numerous Miami Beach Art Deco and MiMo buildings for owners and preservation organizations.
