An insurer wanted roof conditions on eleven buildings
A property manager on the Plateau had an insurance renewal that needed the condition of eleven flat roofs. The scaffolding quote was three weeks and a lot of money.
One authorization, one morning, two people
We filed one authorization covering all eleven addresses and flew them in sequence from 7 a.m., a pilot and an observer, 310 photos in total.
One report per building, in 48 hours
Each building got an annotated PDF with every issue located, photographed and rated. Three membranes needed urgent work, and the insurer accepted the reports as they were.
Batch the addresses, save the lead time
Filing eleven addresses in one authorization saved a week of back and forth. If you manage several buildings, send the whole list at once.
“Eleven roofs before lunch. The scaffolding quote was for three weeks.
