Tell us about the asset
Share the asset type, location, scope, and timing so the capture requirement is clear.
Independent capture partners
Request a Capture for Your Inspection
No in-house capture team available? Tell us about the asset and we’ll connect you with a partner who captures it properly — drones for exteriors, handheld LiDAR for parking structures and interiors — with the data landing in Hammer Missions ready to analyze.

02
We match you with a capture partner
We connect you with an independent capture partner suited to the project and location.
03
They capture it
You agree the engagement directly with the partner, who completes the inspection-grade capture.
04
The data lands in Hammer Missions
Your dataset arrives ready for your team to analyze, measure, annotate, and report on.
Capture partners are independent specialists, not Hammer Missions employees. Project scope, contracting, licensing, insurance, scheduling, and responsibility for capture work are agreed with the partner.
Tell us about your project
Share the asset, location, scope, and target timing. We’ll use those details to identify an independent capture partner who may be a fit.
Commission capture without leaving your desk
Tell us about the asset and a capture partner handles the site visit, the equipment, and the compliance. The data arrives in your Hammer Missions project ready to analyze. No pilots to hire and no scanners to buy.
Solve difficult access
High elevations, fragile roofs, live decks, enclosed spaces. Drones for exteriors, handheld LiDAR for interiors. Get inspection data with full coverage without scaffolding, swing stages, or rope access.
A deliverable that sets you apart
Issue a PDF report that links to a live 3D model anyone can open in a browser. It reads as a more thorough service, it's faster to produce, and it reduces the back-and-forth that erodes margin.
You don’t need a capture team to run modern inspections
Many engineering and building science firms want the coverage and safety benefits of drone capture for exteriors — facades, roofs, whole buildings, and bridges — and of handheld LiDAR for parking structures and enclosed interiors, without hiring pilots, buying equipment, or managing regulatory compliance. Commissioning capture project by project removes that overhead entirely. It lets your team use drone and LiDAR data when a project calls for it while retaining control of the engineering work.

Capture done right the first time
Inspection-grade data is not the same as good photography. For drones, overlap, ground sampling distance, and flight geometry determine whether the resulting model is measurable. For interior LiDAR, coverage pattern and walking pace determine whether the scan is complete. Both matter — and both are why a partner who knows the platform is worth using.
Our capture partners work to the standard the platform needs, so you are not paying for a second visit. That matters for detailed facade inspections and repeatable roof inspections.
What happens to the data
Once captured, the project sits in Hammer Hub. Build a measurable 3D model, detect and quantify defects with AI, measure and annotate findings, and issue a report that links to the live model.
Who this is for
Structural engineers
Building envelope consultants
Restoration engineers
Asset owners
Facilities teams
For engineering teams that need exterior capture for a specific project — and for asset owners and facilities teams commissioning parking structure and interior inspections — without standing up an in-house capture program.
FAQ
Requesting a capture partner is free, matching depends on availability and project scope. Your capture partner will be in touch with a customized quote.
