Service brief

Purpose / audience / scope

The service at a glance.

01

What it is for

This service is meant for commercially credible anomaly review support. It emphasizes documentation and screening value rather than inflated claims about what thermal alone can prove.

  • Exterior equipment hotspot screening
  • Building envelope heat-loss review support
  • Anomaly identification for follow-up inspection
02

Who uses it

Useful for facility teams, property owners, contractors, and stakeholders managing building or equipment review workflows.

  • Facility stakeholders
  • Commercial property owners
  • Contractors
  • Property managers
03

What is included

The scope is shaped around practical records, clear review needs, and the agreed deliverable package.

  • Visual and thermal context capture
  • Anomaly-oriented organization
  • Delivery that helps the next inspection step happen faster

Deliverables

Exterior thermal context organized for the right specialist.

The package connects visible location, apparent thermal contrast, capture conditions, and explicit screening limits.

Scope, area, and pricing

Quoted around the actual site.

TwoBit Aerial is based in Bolivar, Missouri. Pricing includes travel for most jobs within 30-45 minutes of Bolivar, Missouri. Jobs farther out may include a travel charge based on distance, drive time, and scope.

Service area

TwoBit Aerial is based in Bolivar, Missouri. Pricing includes travel for most jobs within 30-45 minutes of Bolivar, Missouri. Jobs farther out may include a travel charge based on distance, drive time, and scope.

  • Most straightforward local jobs fall inside the included travel range used by the published pricing.
  • Distance, drive time, and scope determine whether additional travel needs to be added.
  • Larger commercial, recurring, or multi-site scopes can still be priced cleanly without a rigid public fee table.

Pricing approach

Starting-at pricing is available for smaller, focused scopes. More complex facilities are quoted by site size and screening needs.

  • From $675; final quote depends on property, timing, travel, and deliverable expectations.

Building and equipment workflow

Treat angle, material, load, and weather as part of the data.

  1. 01Scope

    Define the exterior target

    Confirm the visible surface or equipment, operating context, safe standoff, and intended qualified reviewer.

  2. 02Capture

    Check screening conditions

    Review weather, solar loading, distance, angle, material, obstructions, and site operations before capture.

  3. 03Review

    Pair thermal and visible context

    Capture reference views that keep apparent temperature patterns tied to a clear physical location.

  4. 04Deliver

    Organize for specialist follow-up

    Deliver conservative selections, condition notes, and source references without assigning cause or repair need.

Local. Professional. Claim-safe.

Exterior screening support, not electrical or mechanical diagnosis.

TwoBit Aerial keeps public deliverables framed as documentation, screening, planning support, and reference material.

FAA Part 107

Commercial operations start from a Part 107 baseline.

Condition-dependent capture

Weather, timing, material, angle, distance, and load can change what thermal imagery shows.

Paired visual context

Thermal references stay connected to RGB views so a qualified reviewer can locate the visible target.

Screening, not diagnosis

Apparent temperature contrast cannot prove moisture, a leak, cause, internal condition, or repair need.

Scope-dependent quotes

Final pricing depends on site size, access, travel, timing, and requested deliverables.

FAQ

Common questions before quoting.

Which building or equipment targets are a fit for drone thermal screening?

Potential targets include externally visible roof, facade, mechanical, utility, or equipment surfaces where distance, angle, material, load, weather, and safety conditions support useful imagery.

Can thermal imagery diagnose an electrical or mechanical problem?

No. Drone thermal imagery can document apparent surface-temperature patterns for qualified follow-up, but it does not diagnose cause, internal condition, load, safety, or repair need.

Why is paired RGB imagery included?

Visible-light imagery helps reviewers locate the thermal pattern, understand the viewing angle, and connect the screening reference to the physical building or equipment.
