Summary

Pre-construction façade survey for a downtown Charlotte re-cladding programme — every panel documented to the inspectors' format.

Brief

Vector needed a clean baseline of the existing façade — every panel, every joint, every visible defect — before the re-cladding work started, so any later disputes had a documented starting point.

Approach

Calibrated, geo-tagged stills captured in a methodical grid pattern around all four elevations. Consistent stand-off distance for true comparability across the dataset.

Outcome

A complete pre-work visual record. Two later defect claims were resolved by reference to our baseline rather than going to dispute.
