Why BCG
• #1 in Project Coordination – We handle everything—planning, FAA/LAANC airspace approvals, safety, tenant notifications, and report packaging—so you don’t have to.
• Advanced Drone Visuals – High-resolution stills, 4K video, geo-referenced defect mapping, and optional thermal/RTK capture deliver unmatched clarity and insight into your facade conditions.
• Licensed Engineering Partnership – We partner with trusted engineering firms like Copeland BEC to produce stamped, city-compliant inspection reports for Boston’s 5-Year Façade Ordinance and beyond.
• Clear, Actionable Reporting – Detailed elevation markups, defect maps, and annotated images transform data into decisions.
• End-to-End Solutions – If repairs are needed, our in-house construction teams can quote, permit, and complete work with zero hand-off risk—making us a true one-stop shop.
our process from sky to submission
Phase 1: Planning & Airspace Compliance
We kick off with FAA Part 107 compliance, LAANC clearance (Class B near Logan), and safety planning tailored to your site.
Phase 2: Engineering Visual Assessment
A licensed engineer performs a binocular visual scan to flag potential areas of concern.
Phase 3: Drone Imaging & Defect Capture
We conduct full vertical and oblique imaging of the entire facade and roof, including close-ups of flagged zones. Optional: RTK precision mapping and thermal detection.
Phase 4: Engineering Markup & Recommendations
Our partner engineer reviews all data to create annotated defect maps and safety evaluations—meeting the City of Boston's façade ordinance requirements.
Phase 5: Minor Repairs (Optional)
Need to fix an issue for compliance? We can execute or coordinate make-safe repairs and fully document them for city submission.
Phase 6: Final Report & Stamped Compliance Affidavit
Our engineer issues the final stamped report and affidavit required by the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department (ISD).
