Aerial Drone inspection - from $350

New Zealand Building Inspections Ltd employs the Mavic Pro Drone, equipped to capture 12-megapixel photos and 4K videos. The advantage of incorporating a drone into your inspection process is the ability for your building inspector to evaluate and identify any damage or maintenance needs in hard-to-reach areas of your property, ensuring a thorough and safe assessment.
