PROXYBuilding and Roof Inspection by Drone
Scaffolding costs 3,000-10,000 RON just for setup. A drone inspects the roof, facades, and structure of a building in 1-2 hours at just 600 RON, with no risk to people and no disturbance to occupants.
How it works
The drone systematically photographs all facades and the roof at high resolution. The thermal camera identifies thermal bridges, water infiltrations, and areas with deteriorated insulation. Output: complete report with the location of each defect, prioritization, and recommendations.
Comparison
| Criteria | Drone | Scaffolding |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | 600 RON | 3,000-10,000 RON |
| Time | 1-2 hours | 1-3 days (setup) |
| Thermal imaging | Yes | Requires separate IR camera |
| Human risk | Zero | Fall risk |
| Occupant disruption | Minimal (outdoor flight) | Significant |
Economic analysis

When you need this
Drone inspection is recommended in the following situations:
- Roof condition assessment — membranes, tiles, metal sheets
- Energy audit — thermal bridge identification with IR camera
- Pre-purchase evaluation — building condition assessment
- Post-storm damage — rapid documentation for insurance

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof inspection by drone cost?
The standard rate is 600 RON for a medium-sized building, including flight, HD photos, thermal images, and complete report.
Can the drone completely replace scaffolding inspection?
For visual and thermal assessment, yes. The drone provides visual access to all areas without scaffolding. For physical repairs, scaffolding remains necessary.
What does the inspection report include?
HD photos of each inspected area, thermal images identifying thermal bridges and infiltrations, defect classification by severity grade, and prioritized intervention recommendations.
Does thermal inspection work in winter?
Yes, winter is actually the ideal time for detecting thermal bridges — the large indoor/outdoor temperature difference makes insulation defects very visible.
