The Process

From building to digital twin in days

Replace weeks of scaffolding, swing stages, and manual inspection with a permanent, measurable digital record of every exterior surface.

01
Aerial point cloud showing drone camera positions during building capture

Drone Data Capture

FAA Part 107 licensed operators fly commercial drones around your building, capturing thousands of high-resolution images of every exterior surface. No scaffolding, no swing stages, no tenant disruption. Most buildings are captured in a single session.

Hours, not days
02
3D digital twin model created from drone imagery

3D Model Processing

Thousands of overlapping images are stitched together using photogrammetry to create a millimeter-accurate 3D digital twin. Every surface is measurable. Every angle is navigable. The model lives on our cloud platform, accessible from any device.

Millimeter accuracy
03
Inspection report with defect annotations on the Aespect platform

Inspection Report + Platform

Certified inspectors annotate defects directly on the 3D model, ranked by severity and urgency. You receive a prioritized report and ongoing platform access to track conditions, share with contractors, and plan maintenance over time.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a 3D digital twin? +
A 3D digital twin is a photorealistic, navigable model of your building created from thousands of drone-captured images using photogrammetry. You can rotate, zoom, measure distances, and annotate defects directly on the model from any web browser. It serves as a permanent digital record of your building's condition at the time of capture — and it can be updated with each new inspection cycle.
Do you work with FAA regulations and restricted airspace? +
Yes. All our pilots hold FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificates. For flights in controlled airspace (common in major metro areas), we use LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) to obtain real-time airspace authorization. We handle all regulatory compliance — permits, NOTAMs, and airspace coordination — so you don't have to.
What about data security and ownership? +
Your data belongs to you. Our platform follows SOC 2 security standards with encrypted storage and transfer. Access is controlled through role-based permissions, so you decide who on your team, your contractors, or your board can view and interact with the data. We never share your building data with third parties.
