Capabilities
Receive reviewed roof and facade findings, supporting imagery and a record your team can use to prioritise work. Agree visual and thermal capture, planning outputs and reporting around the decisions you need to make.
Roof & building envelope inspection
A drone roof inspection captures flat roofs, pitched systems, membranes, upstands, outlets and drainage at high resolution, to reduce the need for inspection-related work at height. Review what is visible in the agreed capture areas, with inaccessible or unassessed areas recorded.
- Membrane condition, splits, blistering and lap failures, located by bay
- Visible ponding and drainage observations in the capture areas
- Flashings, upstands and penetrations, graded for risk
- Plant, walkways and fall-arrest condition where present
Facade & external wall inspection
Elevation-by-elevation condition of cladding, render, brickwork, sealant, balconies and movement joints, captured close-up by drone. The imagery supports a fire risk appraisal of external walls under PAS 9980 and the EWS process, and records visible features that may warrant further investigation.
- Cladding, render and brick condition at full height
- Cracking, spalling, displacement and failed sealant
- Visual evidence to support FRAEW and EWS1 decisions
- Balcony, soffit and parapet condition
Thermal imaging & moisture inspection
Radiometric thermal capture surfaces what visual inspection cannot: anomalies that can point to trapped moisture, wet or missing insulation, air leakage and heat loss. Anomalies are flagged for investigation rather than prescribed as a diagnosis.
- Subsurface moisture indicators in flat roofs and walls
- Insulation gaps, cold bridges and wet-insulation signatures
- Air leakage and heat-loss anomalies
- Early evidence to direct damp and mould investigations
AI-assisted defect analysis, human-validated
A single capture can run to thousands of images. The Ovrsite AI engine helps identify and classify potential findings in captured imagery. People review findings and their limitations before release.
- Analysis of captured imagery, with evidence limitations retained
- Consistent grading on one risk scale
- Findings reviewed by our team before release
- Findings located on the asset, not just described
Evidence-led reporting & CAPEX forecasting
Findings become a report your advisors, lenders and board already know how to read, then a costed and time-phased CAPEX plan. Review priorities, cost assumptions and proposed timing before agreeing the programme.
- Reporting written to a consistent evidence-led structure
- Costed, prioritised, multi-year CAPEX forecast
- Recorded assumptions for reviewing proposed deferrals
- Outputs that export to your asset and finance systems
Golden Thread & building safety evidence
For higher-risk buildings, condition data is part of a legal duty. Ovrsite produces dated, located, structured records that feed the Golden Thread of information and the building safety case, and stay current in Ovrsite Enterprise across the life of the building.
- Structured, digital condition records, dated and located
- Evidence aligned to the building safety case
- Organised condition evidence for your responsible team's review
- Condition records that can support a wider handover
Ovrsite vs a traditional access-based inspection
The same goal, condition you can trust and defend, reached a very different way.
| Question | Ovrsite | What to check in an alternative proposal |
|---|---|---|
| How is evidence captured? | Drone visual capture and thermal capture where commissioned and conditions support it. | The capture method, coverage, site controls and physical-access requirements. |
| Who reviews the findings? | AI-assisted detection followed by human review before release. | Who interprets the evidence, their role and the review process. |
| What will the team receive? | Graded findings linked to source imagery in Enterprise, with the reports and planning outputs agreed in scope. | Finding detail, image access, file formats, planning assumptions and handover. |
| How is the record maintained? | Capture dates, findings and follow-up actions remain connected. Suitable repeat evidence can be compared. | How subsequent evidence and actions connect to the original record. |
| What needs a separate investigation? | Concealed conditions, physical testing and specialist assessments beyond the capture scope. | Whether those activities are included, excluded or separately commissioned. |
Services, answered
How long does an inspection take on site?
Timing depends on building size, scope, weather, airspace and site controls. We agree a programme with you.
Do you need access or road closures?
Access, exclusion areas and notifications are planned for the site. Drone capture can reduce access-at-height requirements but does not remove the need for appropriate site controls and permissions.
What do we receive at the end?
Graded findings in Ovrsite Enterprise, a building intelligence report, the underlying imagery, and a costed CAPEX plan. You can act on it, defend it, and export it.
Can you work alongside your existing consultants or FM provider?
Yes. We agree responsibilities and the evidence handover with your existing consultants or FM provider. Your appointed specialists retain their assessment and delivery roles.
