Commercial real estate assessments, including many associated with the standard guides and practices published by ASTM Committees E50 and E06, (e.g., environmental and property condition due diligence) are increasingly incorporating drone flights to collect aerial imagery and, in turn, perform various analytics in lieu of or as a supplement to in-person observations. Drone reconnaissance of attributes such as roofs, facades, parking/paving and land features, etc., can materially enhance assessment data sets and lead to improved decision-making and project records.
