Roof measurement with drones: Everything you need to know
With roof surveys and roof inspections using drone and satellite technology, you benefit in several ways — our cost-effective service is precise, safe and fast.
If you work in the photovoltaic sector, at an insurance company or in the roofing industry, you've probably already heard about the possibilities of using drones. You may even be thinking about buying your own drone. There are good reasons for this: The latest advances in drone technology are fundamentally changing the way of precise roof measurement and roof inspections!
Drones not only measure roofs more safely and precisely than is possible in the traditional way with a personal roof inspection — with the comprehensive AIRTEAM Roof Inspector report, you receive additional data to optimally carry out your work. And at unbeatable speed: roof measurements using drones are around three times faster than the traditional method.
Read on and learn now why drones are the perfect support for creating roof measurements and roof inspections.
Drone inspections improve the precision & significance of roof surveys
From unreachable roof edges to twists in the tape measure to an inconsistent selection of end points, it is difficult to maintain precision within a range of roof measurements.
But where the possibilities of manual inspection reach their limits, advances in machine learning prove their advantages. Solutions such as the AIRTEAM Roof Inspector report utilize the latest achievements in drone mapping technology. In just a few minutes, precise measurements of
- roof lengths
- roof surfaces
- roof slopes
- and even from dormers and fireplaces
You no longer have to worry about inaccurate data or walking on a roof again because important information is missing. The AirTeam solution works according to a precise protocol for selecting all roof points. This ensures that measurements are complete and accurate across the entire project.
Drones are safer and the cost-effective alternative to a personal roof inspection
Crashes are among the main causes of fatal accidents on construction sites. With drones, you minimize the need for roof inspections — in some cases, these are no longer necessary at all.
“Every hour that one of my employees can stay on the ground increases safety,” says Jochen Schäfer from Hombach & Schäfer, master roofer from Düren.
Drone technology provides comprehensive data and a strong return on investment (ROI)
With drones, extensive data can be collected faster and more cost-effectively than by conventional means. In fact, end-to-end drone solutions are three times faster than traditional data measurement methods — saving you up to 90 percent money and time.
The ROI for drones in roof surveys goes beyond savings in time and manpower: Compared to manual measurements, drones provide more detailed and accurate data for increased productivity.
Mapping with drones makes it possible to do more than collect data about roof lengths, roof slopes and areas. A point cloud shows the roof as a whole with high-resolution details. This not only benefits roofers, carpenters, architects, owners, solar installers and anyone who needs precise information about the dimensions and condition of a roof.
The AIRTEAM Roof Inspector report is an end-to-end solution for roofers, insurance companies & the photovoltaic industry
The AIRTEAM Roof Inspector report with centimeter-accurate measurement is carried out using advanced drone, satellite and computer vision technology. Roofers, architects, insurance companies and photovoltaic system installers can now access a practical tool. With the data collected by the drone, we generate precise measurements in a very short time.
