We don't just find the problem.
We fix it.
Most drone companies deliver high-resolution imagery and leave the client to work out what to do next.
EntireFM is a commercial facilities and engineering company. We inspect the asset, formulate the remedial scope, mobilise the appropriate trade specialists, execute the repair, and verify the completed work.
High-Resolution Capture
Rapid aerial deployment surveying roofs, façades, plant decks, and estate boundaries without scaffolding, MEWPs, or working-at-height risk.
Defect Diagnosis
Specialist surveyor analysis isolating membrane splits, joint failures, thermal heat loss, and drainage blockages into structured RAG observations.
Self-Delivered Trades
Direct dispatch of EntireFM qualified trades: commercial roofers, rope-access technicians, HVAC engineers, and mastic specialists.
Secondary Flight QA
Post-remedial drone flight confirming completed workmanship, correct sealant profiles, and watertight integrity before signoff.
EntireCAFM Logbook
Immutable photographic and spatial evidence permanently logged against the building asset register for statutory compliance and insurer audits.
One operational partner from high-level flight to physical boots on the roof.
No third-party handover delays, no fragmented reporting, and no disputes over remedial scope. We own the full lifecycle from discovery to permanent maintenance record.
See the whole roof
without putting people on it.
High-resolution aerial inspection allows inaccessible building fabric, single-ply membranes, parapets, and complex drainage valleys to be assessed rapidly before costly scaffolding, cherry pickers, or rope access teams are commissioned.
The flight is only
the beginning.
Data without trade execution is just a report. EntireFM turns aerial findings into physical engineering resolutions without third-party handovers.
From initial flight to physical trade completion, you communicate with one dedicated EntireFM technical account lead.
Defect Isolated at Altitude
High-altitude optical capture isolating roof membrane and chiller plant deck defect without scaffolding.
Specialist Aerial Disciplines:
Engineered for Real Property.
Explore our six core operational disciplines, each configured for commercial property managers, industrial estates, institutional landlords, and construction developers.
Inaccessible Fabric Surveyed Safely at Scale
High-resolution optical inspection of commercial roofs, parapet copings, rain-screen cladding, and vertical glazing gaskets. Eliminate high-risk working-at-height operations during routine asset condition reviews.
Sub-Surface Moisture & Energy Loss Exposed
Radiometric FLIR infrared thermography conducted during optimal delta-T windows. Detect water entrapped beneath flat roof membranes, missing insulation cavity sections, and defective solar photovoltaic strings.
Survey-Grade Orthomosaics & Volumetrics
RTK-corrected geospatial mapping generating sub-centimetre 2D orthomosaics and digital elevation models. Formatted for direct import into AutoCAD, GIS platforms, and estate masterplanning suites.
Repeat Waypoint Milestone Documentation
Autonomous GPS-locked repeat flights recording construction progress, earthworks cut/fill volumetrics, and structural envelope completion across multi-phase development sites.
Rapid Post-Storm Damage Assessment
Rapid deployment following severe weather, structural impact, or tenant claims. Produce comprehensive, timestamped photographic dossiers for loss adjusters and insurance underwriters.
Navigable 3D Models & High-Level Media
Immersive EntireFM 3D digital twins, dense point clouds, and broadcast-quality 6K architectural media for remote asset walkthroughs, stakeholder presentations, and long-term BIM archives.
What looks dry
isn't always dry.
Radiometric thermal capture exposes hidden sub-surface moisture entrapment, insulation degradation, thermal bridging, and abnormal electrical head pressures invisible to the naked eye.
Thermal surveys are flown during specific temperature differentials (delta-T) after sunset or before dawn when trapped water retains heat longer than dry insulation.
Explore Thermal SurveysEntireFM 3D:
A Site You Can Revisit From Anywhere.
EntireFM 3D capture transforms thousands of aerial images into an immersive spatial model, allowing teams to inspect context, understand assets, and revisit captured conditions long after the drone has landed.
Radiance field rendering preserving photorealistic lighting and complex geometry for real-time web walkthroughs.
Georeferenced spatial point coordinate cloud with sub-centimetre accuracy for CAD and topography.
Surface mesh models formatted for AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, and Rhino BIM workflows.
Distortion-free, millimeter-accurate 2D aerial map georeferenced to OS National Grid.
A building you can
return to any time.
Reality capture preserves a navigable, millimeter-accurate 3D visual record of an asset for remote stakeholder inspections, project comparison, dimensional verification, and long-term condition monitoring.
Immutable Dimensional & Visual Archives
Reconstruct historical facades, complex roof trusses, and architectural stonework without invasive physical scaffolding surveys.
Connected Directly to Maintenance Work Orders
Pin maintenance issues directly onto the 3D model, dispatch engineers to exact spatial points, and track remediation over time.
Comprehensive Aerial Capabilities:
Browse by Discipline
Hover over any discipline to preview capture outputs. Every service connects seamlessly with our self-delivered engineering trades.
One flight is a snapshot.
Repeat flights show change.
By aligning recurring drone surveys with your SFG20 planned preventative maintenance programme, subtle building movements, gradual silt accumulation, and early waterproofing failures are detected years before internal leaks occur.
Post-Winter Freeze-Thaw Audit
Membrane lap seam expansion checks, valley gutter clearance, and masonry spalling review after seasonal frost cycles.
The data becomes
an action.
Aerial intelligence shouldn't live in an isolated PDF report. In EntireCAFM, every drone observation directly creates an actionable maintenance record, dispatches trade engineers, and updates your asset register.
Spatial Anomaly Pin
Drone inspection generates high-resolution defect with exact georeference coordinates.
EntireCAFM Ingest
Defect automatically creates an asset observation record in the client CAFM portal.
Work Order Dispatch
EntireFM helpdesk converts observation into a scoped remedial work order.
Engineer Mobilisation
Self-delivered trade team arrives on-site with correct access equipment and parts.
Permanent Asset Audit
Before/after photos and engineer signoff permanently locked into the asset logbook.
The people behind

Frequently Asked Questions
Authoritative technical details on UK CAA regulations, weather limits, engineering deliverables, and EntireFM physical remedial execution.
Standard drone operators deliver raw uncurated photographs or point-cloud files, leaving the building manager to interpret defects and procure separate repair contractors. EntireFM combines advanced aerial data capture with self-delivering hard FM, rope access, roofing, and M&E capabilities. We diagnose the defect, specify the remedial scope, execute the physical repair, and verify completion within EntireCAFM.
