Drone Flight Planning for Building & Structure Inspection
Plan safe, repeatable automated flights using our cloud software and flight app for facades, roofs, buildings, and bridges by mapping the structure in 3D — so every cycle captures the same data the same way.
Plan the flight from
the structure,
not guesswork
Map your structure of interest in 3D and Hammer generates an automated flight path around it. You design safe standoff distances and capture geometry before you leave the office, which shortens time on site and reduces risk near the building.
One planner for
every mission type
Facades, roofs, full buildings, and bridges are planned in a single flight app, so teams standardize on one tool instead of stitching together several flight planners.
Works with the drones you already fly — plan and capture with supported drones.

Outlines
Smarter, Safer
Mission Design
Customize your flight plan around real building geometry for unmatched accuracy.
Precisely plan flight heights, stand-off distances, and approach angles.
Improve safety and compliance with obstacle-aware mission layouts.
Capture
Every Detail
With Facade
Mission Planning
Capture single or multi-facade missions—even on highly complex structures.
Ensure the correct GSD (Ground Sampling Distance) for detailed inspection data every time.
Adjust mission parameters to easily capture balcony undersides, overhangs, and architectural recesses.
Repeatable capture
for comparable
cycles
Save a flight and repeat it on the next cycle. Consistent altitude, overlap, and geometry are what make year-over-year comparison meaningful, so change over time reflects the building, not the flight.

"Manually documenting and quantifying the facade deficiencies would've been nearly impossible without Hammer Missions. These tools, combined with engineering principles and careful review, have provided a baseline for saving and repurposing this landmark building"
