Notable Drone Inspections Applications in New York

Manhattan High-Rise Facades — FISP (Local Law 11) compliance requires detailed facade scanning for thousands of buildings over six stories across all five boroughs.
Hudson Yards & Related Developments — New commercial mega-developments requiring comprehensive BIM documentation for construction coordination and facility management.
Brooklyn Adaptive Reuse Projects — Historic warehouse and industrial conversions in DUMBO, Williamsburg, and Bushwick demanding accurate existing-conditions capture.
NYC Landmarks & Historic Districts — LPC-designated buildings and districts requiring preservation-grade documentation for renovation approvals.
World Trade Center Complex — Ongoing infrastructure and tenant fit-out work in Lower Manhattan requiring precision MEP coordination.

New York Drone Inspections FAQ

What is FISP (Local Law 11) and how does 3D scanning help?
FISP requires facade inspections every 5 years for NYC buildings over 6 stories. 3D scanning and drone inspections provide detailed, measurable facade documentation that supports QEWI engineers in completing these mandatory assessments — reducing scaffolding costs and improving defect detection accuracy.
Do you work with the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC)?
Yes. Our preservation-grade 3D documentation meets LPC submission standards for work on designated landmarks and within historic districts. We deliver measured drawings, point clouds, and photographic documentation that support Certificate of Appropriateness applications.
What areas in New York City do you cover?
We serve all five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island — plus Long Island, Westchester, and Northern New Jersey. Our NYC office at 322 W 52nd St provides 1-hour response time throughout the metro area.
How do you handle scanning in occupied NYC buildings?
We regularly scan occupied commercial and residential buildings with minimal disruption. Our mobile mapping systems (NavVis VLX 3, Leica BLK2GO) capture spaces while they remain in use. For noise-sensitive environments, we schedule during off-hours or weekends.
What NYC building codes require as-built documentation?
NYC DOB requires accurate as-built documentation for alteration permits (Alt-1, Alt-2, Alt-3), changes of use, and construction close-outs. Our BIM-conversion-ready scan deliverables provide the verified existing-conditions data architects and engineers need for DOB submissions.
How long does a typical project take in Manhattan?
Timeline depends on scope: a single commercial floor (5,000-15,000 sq ft) typically takes 1 day for scanning with deliverables in 3-5 business days. High-rise full-building scans may require 1-2 weeks. Manhattan logistics (loading dock scheduling, freight elevator access) are factored into every project plan.
