See what the eye can't.
Drone thermal inspection and mapping.

DroneOptik360 documents your roofs, buildings, land and construction sites with a DJI Matrice 300 RTK and thermal, photogrammetry and LiDAR sensors. Useful aerial data to help you see, document and plan.

Two views of the same roof

Visible light shows condition. Thermal reveals what's different.

A roof can look fine to the naked eye while one area holds moisture or leaks heat. By combining 4K imagery with radiometric thermal imaging from the Zenmuse XT2, we flag the areas to check first, without scaffolding and without walking on the membrane.

  • Membrane seams, flashing, drains and rooftop units
  • Heat loss through the building envelope and walls
  • Electrical and mechanical equipment that appears to be running hot

Real estate investors

Before you buy, refinance or renovate: look at the roof.

The roof and building envelope are often the biggest capital expenses in a property. In a single visit, our aerial analysis gives you dated images of the roof, walls and lot, in visible and thermal, so you can ask the right questions of your inspector, roofer or lender.

Our co-founder Thierry Vicente has worked in mortgage financing in Gatineau for many years: we know what an investor needs to document.

Our approach

Every mission is planned like a flight

Safety and data quality are decided before take-off.

  1. Understand the need

    Goal, location, timeline, expected deliverables and access constraints.

  2. Confirm feasibility

    Airspace, NAV CANADA authorization if needed, weather, neighbours and risks.

  3. Plan the flight

    Sensor choice, altitude, overlap, flight path and emergency plan.

  4. Capture the data

    Visual line-of-sight flight, with procedures and checklists.

  5. Process and check

    Sorting, processing, quality control and flagging of observations.

  6. Deliver and explain

    Clear report, stated limits, files in the agreed formats.

Service area

Based in Gatineau, working on both sides of the river

We operate throughout Ottawa, the Outaouais and the National Capital Region. Near the Ottawa and Gatineau airports the airspace is controlled, so we obtain the required authorizations before every flight. Service is available in English and French.

FAQ

What people ask us most

Can't find your answer? Read the full FAQ or write to us.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Gatineau and serve Ottawa (including Kanata, Orléans, Nepean and Barrhaven) and the entire Outaouais region (Hull, Aylmer, Chelsea, Cantley, Buckingham, Val-des-Monts). Projects further away are assessed case by case.

Are you certified for commercial drone operations?

Yes. Jean-François LeBlanc holds Transport Canada's Pilot Certificate - Advanced Operations. Every flight is planned around the site, aircraft, weather and airspace. When NAV CANADA authorization is required, for example near an airport, we obtain it before flying.

Is a thermal image enough to make a diagnosis?

No. Drone thermography detects apparent temperature differences that tell you where to look. The cause of an anomaly must be confirmed on site, by a roofer, an engineer or a certified thermographer if needed. Our reports say so clearly.

How much does a drone inspection cost?

Every project is different (area, access, airspace, deliverables). We prepare a free quote once we understand your needs, usually within 48 business hours.
