Yes. Remote Pilot Licence rated to 25 kg, CASA ReOC 9638, and $20 million public liability insurance for drone operations. Ask and I'll send the certificates.

Yes, with planning. I keep 30 metres from anyone not involved in the flight, so we fly before the crew starts, during a break, or over a cordoned area. Most progress captures take under an hour on site.

Yes. The Matrice 4 carries a wide, a zoom and a thermal camera, and I fly close with the zoom. You get full-resolution files you can zoom into, not screenshots.

I've worked in construction and aviation, so I know a lifted flashing from a shadow. For anything structural, the record gives your engineer or builder what they need to make the call. I describe what's visible. I don't diagnose it.

I capture the roof close up, dated and located, with notes on what's visible. Deciding what matters and what to fix is the inspection, and your roofer, builder, engineer or licensed inspector does that from my record.

I'm a drone operator with a CASA operator's certificate (ReOC 9638), not a builder, building inspector, engineer or land surveyor. What I supply is not a building inspection, an engineering or structural assessment, an electrical test, a land survey or a certificate of compliance. You get dated, located imagery, measurements and plain notes on what the camera could see on the day. I don't rate how serious anything is, say what caused it, or say whether something is safe or compliant. Your licensed professional makes those calls from the record I give them. Every job starts with a written scope. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

I make maps, models and volume reports for planning, progress and stocktakes, and I label them that way. Boundaries, design levels and certified quantities are a registered land surveyor's job. If that's what you need, I'll point you to one.

It depends on the job and the ground control used, so every mapping report states the method and the expected accuracy rather than one headline number. A surface model shows what the camera can see; it can't prove what's buried or hidden.

It shows temperature differences, which point to moisture, heat loss or a failing panel. It doesn't prove the cause on its own, so I flag anomalies for a hands-on check before anyone orders repairs.

I plan sightlines before I arrive, keep 30 metres from anyone not involved, and point the camera at your site, not theirs. If a neighbour has questions I'll talk to them.

Then we move it. Launceston weather changes fast, so I book a window, watch the forecast and call you the day before if it looks marginal. No charge to reschedule.

Often, yes. Parts of the city sit inside the airport's control zone, so I arrange the approvals before the flight. That's my job to sort, not yours.

Yes. I operate under my ReOC operations manual, do a site-specific risk assessment for every job, and sort your contractor paperwork and site induction before the first flight.
