The Rise of Drone Services in Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate in Arizona is booming — and drones are helping investors and managers keep up. From fast inspections to 3D mapping, drone services are now essential tools in the Phoenix property market.

1. Roof & Building Inspections

Drones let you safely inspect:

• Flat commercial roofs for cracks, pooling, or wear

• HVAC units, solar panels, and vents

• Façade damage or exterior wear

Thermal drones even detect heat loss, insulation issues, and AC inefficiencies — crucial in the Arizona heat.

2. Property Marketing with Aerial Content

Capture:

• Aerial photos and videos for listings

• Flyover tours that showcase large lots or amenities

• Visual content that gives buyers a true sense of scale

Especially powerful for warehouses, office parks, shopping centers, or large apartment complexes.

3. Orthomosaic Maps and 3D Models

Drones create ultra-detailed site maps and 3D models that are:

• More accurate than satellite imagery

• Time-stamped for recordkeeping

• Ideal for site planning, leasing, or showcasing land use

Perfect for real estate development firms, planners, or property managers.

4. Progress Monitoring for New Construction or Renovations

Need to monitor a tenant improvement project or new commercial build? Drones give:

• Regular updates without interrupting work

• A visual paper trail for stakeholders

• Reduced need for site visits

5. Insurance, Documentation, and Disputes

Drone imagery serves as evidence for:

• Pre/post-insurance claims

• Lease turnover inspections

• Construction delays or damages

It’s visual proof you can keep forever.
