Benefits of Drone Inspection
BEPG offers cutting-edge drone technology for assessing and inspecting buildings and other structures, providing businesses with multiple benefits unmatched by traditional inspection methods.
Cost Effective
Drone inspections are significantly more cost-effective than manual inspections of buildings and structures, eliminating the need for personnel to physically access often dangerous construction sites with expensive and time-consuming equipment such as aerial lifts, cranes, scaffolding, & other safety equipment.
Safety
Drones can be used to inspect dangerous or inaccessible areas, allowing personnel to remain at a safe distance from the structure or building being inspected. This reduces the risk associated with traditional methods of inspection and allows people to safely access information in real-time without putting anyone in harm’s way.
Timely
Drone technology enables quick data collection and results generation without lengthy waiting periods to setup complex safety equipment or viewing thousands of photographs, allowing businesses to make timely decisions based on current evidence gathered by drone inspections.
Accuracy
Our drone obstacle avoidance features allow us to fly within inches of a structure for inspection and provide excellent detail and resolution. This increasingly accurate data collection and inspection of buildings and structures, giving businesses and organizations more precise insights into their projects or structures in real time.
Accessibility
Our state-of-the-art drones allow us to perform checks in areas that were previously inaccessible due to conditions that would interfere with typical drone operations such as within GPS-denied environments, around high concentrations of steel and other materials that would impact drone positioning magnetometers, and around high electronic interference areas.
Eco-Friendly
Using drones is significantly less harmful to the environment because it eliminates emissions associated with traditional inspection methods, reducing the inspection’s carbon footprint by using less fuel and resources while making more efficient decisions.

Highlights of Drone Inspection & Assessment
FAQ
Are your drone pilots licensed?
Yes, all of our drone pilots are FAA sUAS certified drone operators. In addition, our drone pilot consultants are certified thermographers.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we carry full drone liability insurance.
What types of equipment do you use?
BEPG uses NDAA-compliant autonomous drones for inspection and mapping.
What weather can you fly in? How windy can it be to fly?
We cannot fly in fog or precipitation. We routinely fly in temperatures between 10 degrees F and 95 degrees F. Depending on the mission, building, flight parameters, etc., we can usually fly in winds up to 20 MPH.
How long does a drone inspection take?
Inspection time varies based on the size and scope of the project. Typically, BEPG will be on site for one to two days.
Can my drone pilot friend fly missions for you? Can I fly my own drone?
Unfortunately, no. We often need to fly very close to buildings we are assessing and use specific flight procedures and equipment to ensure we collect the imagery we need.
Can the drone see through windows or walls?
Sometimes, the drone can see through windows and glass, although in most cases, the reflective nature of glass restricts the drone from seeing into the window. Neither our standard drones nor Infrared drones can see through walls.
Can you fly over people or cars?
Short answer – no. The FAA has very strict requirements regarding flying over people and vehicles. Our team uses visual observers and signage to ensure the area is secure from pedestrian traffic. Pilots keep the drones in sight to anticipate and respond to any potential issues.
Can you fly anywhere?
No. There are FAA-restricted air spaces that control if a drone can be flown and / or to what altitude and other conditions. However, if your project is not close to an airport, stadium, or similar location, we can probably fly your project. BEPG reviews the FAA regulations for each property area and applies for authorizations or approvals.
Can you fly around trees?
Sometimes, the images won't be very good if a tree or other landscaping is between the drone and the building.
What is the difference between an aerial survey and a drone inspection?
An aerial survey presents a birds-eye view of the property, giving the user a good view of the roof and overall site conditions. The drone inspection is a 3D scan of the building that builds a detailed 3D mesh model of the property. The detailed photogrammetric mesh of the property is an excellent tool to communicate and assess existing conditions.
How quickly can I expect results after a property inspection?
Typical turnaround time is 3-5 days, depending on the property size. Larger structures may require additional time to process and prepare.
Can I see more 3D sample models?
Yes, here are some models we created for other clients.
