SCOPE OF SERVICE

FlyCRE provides aerial site documentation and data subscription services. We capture RGB, thermal, and multispectral imagery on a schedule, process it, and deliver it through FlyCRE Intelligence as an observational record. We do not provide maintenance, repair, inspection, or land surveying services. Measurements are approximate, for condition tracking and reference, and are not survey-grade.
