Equipment, training & documentation
- Lucid Bots Sherpa industrial cleaning drones — purpose-built for facade work, not a hobby UAV with a hose
- Tethered pure-water and soft-wash systems; biodegradable surfactants only
- Documented pilot training program; new pilots fly with a senior PIC for the first 90 days
- 4K aerial before/after documentation delivered with every project
- Geotagged photo sets formatted for engineer-of-record attachment to recertification filings
