FAQ
I already own a drone, can I create the aerial imagery myself?
Yes! We will train you in our data capuring procedures and then you can capture the imagery yourself. After the flight you simply upload the data to our Airteam Aerial Intelligence Platform and we take over. You can find the price for this here https://www.airteam.ai/preise/ in the column "You fly".
Why should I hire Airteamand not just buy a drone myself?
We leave this decision up to you. If you rely on Airteam you do not have to worry about anything. Permits, flight restrictions, insurance - we organize everything for you. If you prefer it you do not even have to be on location. All Airteam drone operators have at least 100 hours of flight experience, commercial drone liability insurance and a drone flight licence. They have learned to safely control drones in a wide variety of locations and conditions, always delivering high-quality results.
How much do the digital roof measurements cost?
We fly
Between 1m² and 1,000sqm, the costs amount to 1 € per sqm roof area. i.e. 300sqm roof area cost 300 €. Between 1,000m² and 10,000m² roof area, the price per square meter is reduced to € 0.20 (i.e. 3000sqm costs € 1,400). Each roof to be measured is billed individually. The minimum price per order is € 275.
The Airteam service includes the planning of the drone flight, arrival and departure, drone flight, data evaluation, Airteam measurement report and a 3D CAD model. All listed services are included in the price. Please note that we give you a price estimate during the booking process, which may vary at the final price due to the roof pitch and the actually measured roof area.
You fly
Between 1m² and 1,000m², the costs amount to € 0.50 per m² roof area. i.e. 300m² roof area costs 150 €. Between 1,000m² and 10,000m² roof area, the price per square meter is reduced to € 0.10 (i.e. 3000sqm costs € 700). Each building to be measured is billed individually. The minimum price per order is € 100.
The Airteam data evaluation includes the Airteam measurement report and a 3D CAD model. Please note that we give you a price estimate during the booking process, which may vary at the final price due to the roof pitch and the actually measured roof area
What happens in bad weather?
The use of our drones, multicopters and microcopters is not possible or only with restrictions in rain, snow, thunderstorms and strong gusty winds. The risk that we cannot fly on the requested day due to bad weather is borne by the client. Postponing the flight due to the weather conditions has to be checked individually and in advance.
Which drone is ideal?
Drones with a camera resolution of at least 20 megapixels are ideal for digital roof measurement. Drones such as the DJI Phantom 4 Pro or the DJI Mavic Pro 2 are suitable. However, it is not only the drones that are important, but also your skills, insurance and the legal framework.
So that you can take off directly with digital drone roof measurements, we have put together a full drone package for you. All information can be found at:
What risks are there for me as a customer?
Airteam only works with professional and experienced drone operators.
All Airteam pilots have:
- min. 100 hours flight experience
- drone liability insurance (for commercial use)
- drone licence
All drone pilots undergo a rigorous registration process to ensure that all flight, camera and safety requirements are met.
What advantages does Airteam offer?
You never ever have to climb onto the roof to measure it. You will receive roof measurements that help you with for your offer and / or your customer invoice. You do not need your own drone and you do not have to deal with permits, insurance or flight regulations. We take care of everything.
Your advantages at a glance:
- saves time and money
- increases safety
- standardized measurements
How accurate are the measurements of Airteam?
The technology that we use has generally no limitation in accuracy. In order to offer higher accuracy it requires more images being taken. This increases the duration of the data acquisition and hence the cost. Working with multiple roofers over the past years we realized that for most projects +- 10 cm accuracy is a good compromise of quality and cost.
How do I create a project request (existing customer)?
You have two options for creating project inquiries at Airteam. If you create a project request with Airteam for the first time, this works via our website https://www.airteam.ai/ If you have already created projects with us, this works via our web app https://airteam.cloud/
Existing customer
To make a project request, simply click on the "Create project" button in the top right corner of our web app https://airteam.cloud/.
In the first step you will be asked for "Type". Here you can choose between:
- Roof measurement
- Roof inspection
- Roof thermography
- Facade inspection (test)
- Solar panel inspection
- Construction industry
- Inspection (other)
- Real estate
In the next step you will be asked for "Country". Please enter the English name of your country here e.g. "Germany" for Germany or "Switzerland" for Switzerland
In the next step please select the "city" in which the object is located. e.g. Brunswick.
Note: if the city of your request is not found, simply select the larger city closest to the object.
In the next step, enter the street, house number and, if necessary, the city in the address bar.
In the second step, mark the roof area of the property for which you need a digital roof measurement. First of all, check whether you can see the right roof in front of you. If you only see a part of the roof, you can change the zoom level at the bottom right in the picture with "+" & "-". If you now have the correct and complete roof in front of you, click once with the mouse on the corner points of the roof and thus mark the entire roof area. If you have made a mistake, you can simply click on "Reset" in the lower left area of the screen and start over. If it is not the correct roof, you can re-enter the address in the upper area of the screen via "Search map".
Note: If you want to digitally measure several buildings at the same time, please make several separate project inquiries.
Below the satellite image you can see the estimated roof area. The roof area given here is only an estimate based on a pitched roof with a roof pitch of 30 degrees. Settlement is based on the area actually measured and not on this (rough) estimate.
If you are not sure what the costs of your project request are, you can find detailed information about our prices at https://www.airteam.ai/preise/
As soon as you have marked the entire roof area to be measured, you can give us additional information on the object to be measured in the next step under "Task" e.g. Crane on site, overhanging trees etc.
In the field "Notes" you can take notes on the object such as Have customers sign the declaration of consent
You do not have to select anything in the "Starting Date" field.
If you carry out the drone flights yourself, please enter the date in the "Flight Date" field after which you plan to perform the flight. If Airteam should carry out the flight, please enter the desired date for the flight.
You can select a desired time in the "Execution time" field. If you don't have a preferred time, you can leave this field blank.
Finally click on "Create" and your project will be created.

Wie gut ist die Qualität der Drohnen Luftaufnahmen?
We are often asked how good the quality of the drones is.
You can either answer this very academically with. It depends on. Among others from:
- drone model
- camera resolution
- distance to the object
- lighting conditions
- and much more
In addition to the academic answer, there is also the practical answer. This is: decide yourself based on examples.
Example 1: Distance of the drone from the roof approx. 15 meters - no zoom level
Example 1: In the same picture from above, we simply took a closer look at the area of the gutter and the downpipe.
Example 2: Distance of the drone from the roof area approx. 5 m - no zoom level
Example 2: In the same picture from above, we zoomed in on the entire picture.
Example 3: Distance of the drone from the photovoltaic system approx. 5 m - no zoom level
Example 3: In the same picture from above we zoomed in on the PV panel.
Example 4: Distance of the drone from the photovoltaic system approx. 15 m - no zoom level
Example 4: In the same picture from above, we took a closer look at the area of the ridge and the PV panels
Please note that we have reduced the images to 800x472 pixels for the presentation on the web. The original resolution for these images is 5472x3648 pixels.
