Drones are increasingly being used for property management for a variety of purposes, including rooftop inspections, flood simulations, and creation of digital elevation models (DEMs).

Rooftop inspections involve using a drone equipped with a camera or thermal sensor to capture images or data about the condition of a roof. The images or data are then analyzed by a property manager or roofing contractor to identify any damage or potential issues with the roof. This can be especially useful for identifying issues that may not be visible from the ground, such as leaks or damaged flashing.

Flood simulations involve using a drone equipped with a camera or LiDAR sensor to capture images or data about the terrain of an area. The images or data are then used to create a detailed map of the elevation, slope, and features of the area. This map is then used to simulate the flow of water over the terrain in the event of a flood, allowing property managers to identify areas that may be at risk of flooding and to develop strategies to mitigate those risks.

Creation of digital elevation models (DEMs) uses drones equipped with a LiDAR sensor to capture detailed images of the terrain. The images are then used to create a detailed map of the elevation, slope, and features of the area. DEMs can be used for a variety of purposes in property management, including land use planning, flood modeling, and vegetation mapping.

Drones are a cost effective tool for property management, as they allow for efficient and effective rooftop inspections, flood simulations, and creation of digital elevation models.
