How facade and roof inspection photos should work after the flight

A survey is not finished when the aircraft lands. It is finished when the person responsible for the building can find the right photo, see what changed, and hand a finding to someone else without searching an inbox.

What usually goes wrong

Inspection photos often arrive as attachments or a zip. Months later, finding the right elevation means guessing the filename. A crack flagged last year lives in a different thread from this year’s flight. The contractor gets too many files, or the wrong ones.

What “good” looks like

Photos with the building

Photos sit with the building on a map, not in a folder named by date.

Follow-up on the photo

A follow-up mark stays on the photo — not in a separate email.

Compare two visits

The same spot from an earlier visit can be opened beside the new one.

Share a link

Sharing is a link the other person can open in the browser — no account required for them.

Who this is for

Facilities managers, building surveyors, owners’ committees, and contractors who need the same building’s record to stay usable after the report is filed.

How Skycat Photo fits

Skycat Photo is built for that job: place and date first, flags on the photo, compare two visits, share a link. The flight can be Skycat’s or your own captures — the point is what happens after.
