Drone facade inspection in Beauvais
Before renovating a façade in Beauvais, a drone survey prevents nasty site surprises: cracks, spalling and hollow-sounding areas are mapped over the building's full elevation. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Beauvais and its department (60) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Prefecture of the Oise, Beauvais boasts in its Saint-Pierre cathedral the tallest Gothic choir ever built (48.5 m under the vault) — an architectural vertigo left unfinished, together with an astronomical clock and the early-medieval Basse-Œuvre church. The major constraint is Beauvais-Tillé airport (LFOB), France's tenth-busiest airport thanks to low-cost traffic: its CTR covers the city and requires coordination for most urban flights. The Beauvais economy combines farm machinery (AGCO Massey Ferguson, France's largest tractor factory), cosmetics and Picardy agriculture.

Flying in Beauvais: the local framework
Flying along a façade in Beauvais remains possible under the controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Beauvais-Tillé (LFOB)): these very-low-height flights, hugging the building, need a simple protocol our pilot sets up.
Façade inspection is flown close to the building, generally in the specific category in town (prior declaration) with a ground safety perimeter; outside built-up areas the open category is usually enough. Full regulations and rates: facade inspection across France →

Frequently asked questions
Facade inspection in Beauvais: what budget should you plan?
Allow €300–1,200 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Beauvais, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
Does the drone replace scaffolding for a façade survey in Beauvais?
For the survey itself, yes in most cases: the drone photographs every defect in high definition from base to cornice, at a fraction of scaffolding cost. If contact testing proves necessary, the report pinpoints where — a real saving for buildings in Beauvais.
Can you inspect a facade on a busy street?
Yes, with a specific-category flight declared to the préfecture and a ground safety perimeter managed by an assistant. We often work early in the morning to minimise disturbance to pedestrians.
