Saw a drone doing roof inspections at a job site last Tuesday

I was on a townhouse build in Austin and a subcontractor showed up with a DJI drone to check the roof decking before the shingles went on. He scanned the whole thing in about 15 minutes and found three soft spots that we would have missed from a ladder. Has anyone else had good luck using drones for quality checks on framing or roofing?

The drone guy really showed us up on a project last month too. He caught a ridge vent that was installed wrong from the air, something you'd never spot walking the roof with a level. Plus we used his footage to prove to the builder that the flashing around the chimney was already damaged before we even started. That saved us a HUGE headache with warranty claims later on. Drone inspections are definitely the way to go for catching stuff before it becomes a problem.
