Who We Work With
You’re in the right place if you’re tired of:
❌ Chasing subs for updates and job site photos
❌ Spending hours walking sites in the Florida heat
❌ Trying to translate site conditions to owners and execs
❌ Dealing with flaky drone vendors who lack data capabilities
❌ Waiting on slow delivery, or worse, getting files with no actionable insights
❌ Lacking third-party visuals to resolve disputes, delays, or claims

FAA
Federal Aviation Administration
The FAA oversees all civil aviation in the U.S., including drone operations. Every one of our pilots holds an FAA Part 107 certification, which means your projects are flown legally, professionally, and with safety as the baseline, not an afterthought.
Pix4D
Pix4D Certified
The Pix4D Certification validates advanced proficiency in large-scale photogrammetry and automated drone mapping workflows using Pix4Dmatic. Held by a limited number of professionals, this certification demonstrates expertise in producing highly precise outputs for demanding commercial and engineering applications.

Manatee Chamber of Commerce
We’re a proud member of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce, committed to supporting local business growth and staying actively engaged in the Florida commercial community.

COI on File
Certificate of Insurance on File
We maintain a current Certificate of Insurance (COI), giving clients peace of mind and confirming we’re fully covered for all drone operations. This protects everyone involved, whether on the ground or in the air, and streamlines onboarding with contractors and agencies that require verified coverage before work begins.
Government-Compliant UAS Platforms
NDAA | Blue UAS | TAA
We have platforms that carry DoD Blue UAS Cleared List certification, meeting current NDAA compliance requirements and have been independently validated for cybersecurity and supply chain integrity by the Defense Innovation Unit. This matters for public safety agencies, federal and state contractors, and infrastructure clients whose procurement rules require it.
OSHA Trained

Our team is trained in OSHA safety standards to operate safely and professionally on active job sites. That means fewer delays, no surprises, and a partner who understands how to work around crews, equipment, and evolving site conditions.

Sarasota
“The drone shots of my roof were so clear and extensive I was able to rest easy. Can’t thank this company enough.”
Jerry Simmons
Tampa
"We were very pleased with Rob's services. The aerial photography of our roof detailed the damage caused by Hurricane Milton, which helped in communicating with our roofer. Rob was personable, and was prompt in completing the work and emailing the photographs."
Sue Forbes
"Had BNAI come take pictures after Hurricane Milton to assess if we had roof damage. They responded immediately and showed up on time. Pictures were great and showed enough detail to expedite repairs without the roofing company needing to send someone on the roof. Excellent service and really nice people!"
Cody McDonald
"Wessel Construction used Blue Nose Aerial Imaging for the first time to capture aerial footage of one of our jobsites and the experience was excellent. Rob was very responsive and professional. They delivered high-quality visuals almost immediately that include our company's branding, and are working with our field team to schedule regular visits to the jobsite to document progress."
