About the Service

Efficient inspections
with big impact

Façade AI provides drone inspections of buildings, warehouses, stadiums, bridges and oil rigs — delivering accurate imagery, data, and a complete understanding of façade health.

Drones capture all data through high-resolution video and imagery, processed securely via encryption through our AI model, detecting up to 20 different fault categories.

Faults are reviewed by our human-in-the-loop team, then presented on your personalised dashboard, categorised by priority, and pinpointed on a 3D digital twin of your building.

Our drone team will advise on all permissions and licences required for your inspection prior to deployment.

Why Drone Inspection

The problems we solve

Traditional façade inspections are slow, expensive, and leave buildings chronically under-monitored. Our drone-based AI service fundamentally changes this.

Duty Holder Liability

The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced the 'golden thread' — a digital record ensuring up-to-date building safety information. Façade AI supports this with more frequent, autonomous inspections, helping keep records accurate and risks identified early.

Reactive Maintenance is Expensive

Traditional inspections typically cover only 33% of a building per year across a three-year cycle. Façade AI delivers full inspections — or multiple inspections — per year. Small issues caught early prevent costly failures later.

Restrictive Budgets

Traditional human inspections are significantly more expensive per year than our drone service. You receive cost savings, greater façade visibility, and a clearer picture of your building's health — all in one.

Slow Inspection Timeframes

Human inspections take months to complete and even longer for reports. Our drone inspections are complete in two days, with fault data delivered within two weeks — so critical defects are flagged before they escalate.

Lack of Industry Surveyors

There is a recognised shortage of qualified façade surveyors. Our AI-powered drone service doesn't require a qualified surveyor on-site — the AI carries out the inspection, enabling faster scheduling and broader coverage.

What Information Do We Need?

Five quick questions

To kick off your inspection, we'll need the following details:

01
Type of building or structure

Is it a residential or commercial building, a stadium, a bridge, an oil rig, or another large structure?

02
Full address

So we can research any airspace restrictions or permissions required prior to deployment.

03
Size of the structure

Number of floors and approximate square meterage (e.g. 10 floors, ~10,000 m²).

04
When was it last inspected?

Helpful to understand the previous inspection method, scope, and timing.

05
How soon do you need this?

So we can factor your inspection into our schedule and confirm availability.
