Panorama Restoration integrates drone technology, artificial intelligence, and data-driven project management into every phase of the restoration process. Not because it's trendy — because it produces better outcomes for building owners.
Traditional close-up inspections require workers at height for days or weeks, covering a limited portion of the building. Our commercial-grade drone surveys capture every square foot of every elevation — north, south, east, west, plus setbacks, parapets, and mechanical enclosures — in a fraction of the time.
The result is a complete, georeferenced photographic record of the entire building envelope at a resolution that reveals individual mortar joints, hairline cracks, and early-stage deterioration that manual inspections routinely miss.
Complete building surveys in days, not weeks. Less disruption to residents and pedestrians.
Every elevation. Every setback. No blind spots. Nothing estimated from the ground.
Zero fall hazard exposure during the inspection phase. Safer for everyone.
Individual mortar joints visible. Hairline cracks detected. Early deterioration caught before it escalates.
Every deficiency mapped to its exact location on the elevation drawing. Precise. Measurable. Verifiable.
Complete pre-construction documentation protects owners and contractors throughout the project lifecycle.
The gap between a contractor's proposal and the final invoice is almost always a data problem — not enough information to accurately scope the work before it begins. When scope is estimated, change orders are inevitable.
Our AI system processes drone survey imagery to identify, categorize, and measure every deficiency on the building. Each condition is mapped to its exact location and converted into precise material and labor quantities. Linear footage of repointing. Square footage of waterproofing. Individual crack counts. Area of brick replacement.
The result: proposals based on measured data, not estimated allowances. The industry average for change orders on restoration projects is 25%. Our target is less than 5%. The difference is data.
Project close-out in the restoration industry is notoriously slow and incomplete. Contractors chase down field reports, material certifications, test results, and photographs weeks or months after the work is done. Building owners receive incomplete packages. DOB filings are delayed.
Panorama's automated close-out system compiles documentation in real-time as work progresses. Inspection data, field reports, material certifications, quality photos, and DOB filings are organized and cross-referenced automatically throughout the project — not assembled after the fact.
When the last repair is complete, the close-out package is ready. Professional, comprehensive, and DOB-compliant.
Documentation assembled as work progresses, not after the fact.
Every repair photographed, every material certified, every test result recorded.
Filing-ready packages that meet all NYC Department of Buildings requirements.
Every Panorama project is managed with formal Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling — the same project control methodology used on the world's most complex construction projects. Building owners, boards, and property managers know exactly what's happening, when it's happening, and what comes next.
Our project controls include earned value analysis, quantitative risk assessment, and transparent cost reporting. No surprises. No ambiguity. No excuses. This is the Industrial Engineering approach to restoration — and it's how every project should be managed.
