Miami LiDAR Drone Surveying & Mapping FAQ

Do you serve all of Miami-Dade County?
Yes! Our Miami headquarters provides comprehensive coverage across all Miami-Dade County neighborhoods. We maintain dedicated teams for high-rise districts like Brickell and Downtown Miami, beach communities from South Beach to Sunny Isles, suburban areas like Kendall and Doral, and everywhere in between. Our 1-hour response time applies throughout the county.
What are the typical drone restrictions in Miami?
Most of Miami-Dade County falls under FAA Class B airspace due to Miami International Airport. We obtain LAANC authorization for every drone flight and comply with Remote ID requirements. Flight altitude restrictions vary by location. We typically schedule operations during early morning hours for optimal conditions and airspace availability.
How do you handle hurricane damage documentation in Miami?
We provide emergency response for hurricane damage documentation throughout Miami-Dade. Our team captures interior damage with 3D scanning and exterior damage with drone inspections, creating comprehensive insurance-ready documentation. We've documented damage from major storms and understand the urgency of post-storm response.
What is Florida SB 4-D and how does it affect Miami buildings?
Florida SB 4-D (the Milestone Inspection law) requires structural inspections for buildings 25 years or older within 3 miles of the coast, or 30 years elsewhere, then every 10 years after. Many Miami-Dade buildings now require these inspections. Our drone inspection services provide detailed facade documentation to support structural engineers in completing these required assessments.
Do you work with Miami-Dade property management companies?
Yes, we partner with major property management firms throughout Miami-Dade for common area documentation, unit inspections, renovation support, and building-wide digital twin projects. We offer volume pricing for multi-unit and multi-building projects and can coordinate with your preferred access schedules and vendor requirements.
