The airspace context in Bourges

In Bourges, façade inspection inside the no-fly area (Sites de défense interdits de survol (MBDA, KNDS, polygone d'essais)) needs authorisation even a few metres from the building: we prepare the file with the managing agent or client and set the date once cleared.

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 →

Facade inspection in Bourges: what budget should you plan?

Allow €300–1,200 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Build the overflight-authorisation lead time for Bourges into your schedule: several weeks depending on the case.

Does the drone replace scaffolding for a façade survey in Bourges?

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 Bourges.

How accurate is the photographic survey?

At 5 m from the facade, resolution reaches roughly 1 mm per pixel: microcracks, joint defects and early corrosion are clearly identifiable and measurable on the images.
