A permanent, defensible record of your buildings.
LittleBird captures independent, inspection-grade documentation across the life of major facilities. Drone, thermal, and LiDAR data your own engineers and consultants can use directly.
We capture buildings the way medical imaging captures patients.
Non-destructively, repeatedly, and as a permanent record a different specialist can read years later. That is the whole idea.
LittleBird is a data provider, not an assessor. We give you consistent, time-stamped documentation and preserve the interpretation role of your engineers and envelope consultants. No turf, no overlap. Just better data for everyone who has to make a decision about the building.
Core capabilities
Challenge first, sensor second
We match the right package to the problem, then deliver data your team can act on.
Building envelope & facade documentation
Visible and radiometric thermal, roof to grade.
ASTM C1153 thermal moisture surveys
Dusk-window radiometric IR, severity-classified, captured by a Certified Thermographer.
Construction progress & oversight documentation
Independent, time-stamped records for percent-complete validation, change-order support, and schedule transparency.
Aerial mapping & site intelligence
RTK photogrammetry, orthomosaics, topographic and elevation models, volumetrics.
Digital twin & 3D modeling
Measurable, centimeter-level precision, suitable for building inspection.
LiDAR & high-density point clouds
When the geometry has to be exact.
8K 360 capture & hosted data portal
Year-over-year access, annotation, and retrieval for your whole team.
Specialty & extended sensors
A full range of specialized sensors, per project
Beyond the core imaging suite, our team has trained hands-on with global leaders in drone-based sensor integration and can deploy a full range of specialized sensors when the work calls for it.
Gas & methane detection
Leak ID, gas concentration maps, emissions quantification. For refineries, midstream, chemical plants, and environmental compliance.
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR)
Subsurface and utility mapping.
Bathymetric sonar
Depth contours, bathymetric models, erosion analysis. For ports, navigation districts, and marine terminals.
Magnetometer
Magnetic anomaly maps, ferrous-object location, utility tracing, UXO. For environmental remediation and utilities.
Gamma-ray spectrometer
Radiation mapping, isotope ID, contamination boundaries. For nuclear and radiological remediation and regulators.
