Little Bird AI
Course Description
Building enclosure professionals are increasingly called upon to assess facades, roofs, and building
systems that are difficult, dangerous, or time-consuming to inspect through conventional means.
Little Bird AI deploys FAA-certified drone platforms and multi-sensor payloads, including high-
resolution visible-light cameras, radiometric thermal infrared sensors, and LiDAR, to deliver
actionable intelligence that traditional inspection methods simply cannot match.
This session introduces roofing and building envelope consultants to the capabilities of high-tech
aerial inspection technology: what it can detect, how the data is processed and delivered, and how
it integrates into existing assessment and reporting workflows. Real-world case studies from Texas
projects, including a large university student housing complex and a university center roof
assessment, will demonstrate practical applications in facade condition assessment, moisture
intrusion detection, storm damage documentation, and construction progress monitoring. Attendees
will leave with a clear understanding of when and how to deploy aerial intelligence on their own
projects.
