Drone facade inspection in Montpellier

Free quote — facade inspection in Montpellier

Before renovation or after damage in Montpellier, façade diagnosis starts with imagery: the drone records the condition of render, joints and mouldings over the full height, where binoculars and lifts reach their limits. With 302,454 inhabitants, Montpellier generates steady demand in Occitanie: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.

Demographically the fastest-growing of France's big cities, Montpellier consumes plenty of aerial imagery: housing programmes in the Port Marianne and Cambacérès districts, health-cluster campuses and clinics, Languedoc vineyards on the immediate outskirts, and tourism from the historic follies to the Palavas beaches — ideal ground for photography and inspection alike. The Montpellier-Méditerranée (Fréjorgues) CTR covers the south-east of the conurbation down to the coast, and the Lapeyronie hospital helipad generates frequent medical rotations: local coordination is essential.

Allow €300–1,200 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Montpellier, 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 Montpellier?

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 Montpellier.

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.
