Downtown Miami LiDAR Drone Surveying & Mapping FAQ

Can you fly drones in downtown Miami for building inspections?
Downtown Miami has severe drone restrictions due to Class B airspace, government buildings, and major event venues. Most drone operations are not feasible. For building inspections, we typically use ground-based methods, rope access documentation, or building-mounted cameras. For specific projects, we can explore special authorization options.
How do you access high-rise buildings for scanning?
We coordinate with building management for freight elevator access and equipment staging. Most downtown high-rises have proper service elevators and loading facilities. We schedule work during off-peak hours to minimize disruption to building operations and residents.
Can you document government buildings in downtown Miami?
Yes, we work with Miami-Dade County and City of Miami facilities. Government buildings require contractor registration, background checks, and security coordination. We understand the protocols for working in secure government environments and provide compliant documentation.
What's involved in scanning a downtown Miami office floor for renovation?
A typical office floor (15,000-30,000 sqft) takes 4-8 hours to scan depending on complexity. We capture all structural elements, MEP systems, and existing conditions. Deliverables include point clouds, floor plans, and BIM-conversion-ready scan data. Most scans are scheduled outside business hours or during tenant transitions.
Do you work with the major event venues like Kaseya Center?
Yes, we can document large venues for facility management, renovation planning, and virtual tours. Arena and performing arts center projects require careful scheduling around events. We coordinate with venue management to identify optimal access windows, typically during daytime hours between events.
