Roof Replacement
PROJECT CONTEXT
A single-family house in the city of Iasi, whose aged tiled roof was in an advanced state of deterioration. What initially began as a simple visual aerial inspection with a drone turned into a much larger project for replacing the roof covering.
CHALLENGE
Upon seeing the photos resulting from the visual drone inspection, the owner asked us if we could handle the management of this project. Considering our background as architects, we accepted the challenge without hesitation.
SOLUTION
We conducted a 2-hour drone scan of the house and garden, collected the scan data, and input it into the computer. The 3D point clouds allowed for precise measurements of distances and roof surfaces with near millimeter accuracy. We aimed to obtain the best price offer from a specialized roofing company with a minimum 2-year labor warranty and 30-year material warranty, so we contacted several companies, sent them the measurements, and requested quotes for this work.
After the owner chose one of the offers, signed the contract, and paid the deposit, things went smoothly, and without boasting, we can say that thanks to the quality of the drone-acquired data that resulted in precise measurements, there were no price differences between the initial offer and the final invoice.
