Building Diagnostic Robotics provides an Inspection‑as‑a‑Service platform that autonomously scans flat roofs and concrete structures using ground‑penetrating radar, LiDAR, thermal imaging and robotics. The captured data are processed by AI to deliver BIM‑ready reports—including moisture and thermal maps, 3D models, service‑life estimates, repair scopes and warranty logs—within 24–48 hours, reducing cost, time and on‑roof labor while providing standardized, defensible documentation for owners, contractors and insurers.

Problem
Building owners and service providers rely on manual roof and concrete inspections that are slow, labor‑intensive, disruptive, and produce inconsistent data, leading to delayed repairs, higher costs, and warranty disputes.
Solution
Building Diagnostic Robotics (BDR) offers an Inspection‑as‑a‑Service platform that autonomously scans flat roofs and concrete structures using ground‑penetrating radar, LiDAR, thermal imaging and robotics. The captured data are processed by AI to generate high‑precision, BIM‑ready reports—including moisture and thermal maps, 3D models, service‑life estimates, repair scopes and warranty logs—within 24–48 hours. The service is delivered remotely, minimizing site disruption and on‑roof labor while providing standardized, defensible documentation. Clients receive a digital dashboard that aggregates portfolio‑level insights, enabling faster decision‑making, predictive maintenance planning and compliance tracking. Pricing is based on square‑footage, making the solution cost‑effective for single sites and large portfolios.
Target Audience
Primary customers include flat‑roof owners and operators, contractors and consultants needing fast, defensible data for quoting and repairs, and insurers or adjusters requiring standardized documentation for risk assessment.
