Palm Beach LiDAR Drone Surveying & Mapping FAQ

Can you fly drones on Palm Beach Island?
Drone operations on Palm Beach Island are SEVERELY RESTRICTED. The Mar-a-Lago TFR prohibits all aircraft within 1 nautical mile until at least October 2026, and Palm Beach International Airport's Class B airspace affects the entire island. For exterior documentation needs, we utilize ground-based LiDAR, elevated pole photography, and coordinate manned aircraft alternatives when necessary.
Do you work with historic landmark properties in Palm Beach?
Yes, we specialize in documenting historic landmark properties subject to the Town of Palm Beach Landmarks Preservation Commission oversight. Our detailed 3D scanning provides the comprehensive documentation required for Certificate of Appropriateness applications and historic renovation planning. Over 328 properties are designated landmarks, many featuring Addison Mizner's distinctive Mediterranean Revival architecture.
What's the process for scanning an ultra-luxury estate in Palm Beach?
Palm Beach estate scanning requires coordination through property managers or estate staff. We provide all required documentation including COI, proof of insurance, and crew background information as requested. Given the ultra-high-security environment, we allow ample lead time for approvals. Our team maintains absolute discretion for confidential or off-market properties.
Do you provide services for Worth Avenue businesses?
Yes, we serve Worth Avenue retailers, galleries, and hospitality businesses with 3D virtual tours, Google Street View integration, and commercial documentation. We schedule during off-peak hours to minimize disruption and deliver premium quality expected by Palm Beach's luxury retail environment.
How do you handle exterior documentation without drone access?
For Palm Beach properties where drone operations are restricted, we deploy ground-based LiDAR scanning from multiple positions, elevated pole-mounted photography systems, and traditional survey methods. For properties requiring comprehensive aerial perspective, we can coordinate manned aircraft documentation through properly authorized channels.
