Commercial inspection & site intelligence
Inspection evidence your team can work from.
Visual and thermal capture of commercial roofs, buildings, solar arrays and construction sites. Delivered as structured evidence that can be reviewed, shared and acted on.
London-based. Supporting commercial projects across the UK.
Who this is for
Built around the people commissioning the work.
For commercial roofing contractors
Inspection and evidence support across your commercial roof projects.
An external inspection resource across your commercial roof jobs: high-level imagery before you start, a clean record during the work, and evidence your client can be shown when you finish.
- Condition imagery before you price or start work
- Roof overview plus closer detail on the areas that matter
- Gutters, drainage, flashings and penetrations
- Before-and-after records for your client
For facilities and property teams
Condition visibility across a building — or a portfolio.
One inspection approach that can be repeated across roofs, façades and high-level plant — a single building, or a programme across the estate.
- Roofs, façades and rooftop plant
- Thermal patterns that may warrant investigation
- Evidence for planned maintenance conversations
- A single site, or several sites on an agreed cycle
For building surveyors and property consultants
The capture layer for areas that are difficult to reach.
NOVENTRA does not replace professional surveying judgement. It provides visual and thermal evidence from roofs, façades and other high-level areas, for you to use inside your own work.
- Roof and façade imagery to sit alongside your inspection
- Thermal capture where the brief calls for it
- Difficult-access stills, organised and referenced
- Repeat capture if you need to look again later
For contractors, developers and project managers
Same site. Same viewpoints. A record of how the job actually moved.
Progress photography is useful when it is consistent. NOVENTRA agrees the viewpoints first, then returns to them — once, at milestones, or on a programme that matches the job.
- Scheduled progress capture
- Agreed viewpoints you can compare
- Site overview and milestone stills
- Visual mapping or a documentation model where it helps
For commercial solar installers, O&M and asset managers
Visual and thermal evidence across commercial arrays.
Walk an array if you need to. Use NOVENTRA when you need coverage, a thermal pass, or a record you can hand to the next person who has to investigate a module.
- High-resolution visual coverage
- Thermal capture of modules and strings
- Noted anomalies for further investigation
- Repeat inspection of the same array
For owners and operators
A current record of the buildings you are responsible for.
Warehouses, industrial premises, logistics centres, commercial estates and similar assets. Useful when you need to see a roof, a façade or a site without making access the first move.
- Condition evidence for hard-to-access areas
- Thermal where it adds something
- A baseline before works or after handover
- Repeat visits if the asset justifies them
The work
High-level access. A record you can actually use.
NOVENTRA OPS captures commercial roofs, building envelopes, plant, solar arrays and construction sites from the air, then delivers the evidence the brief asked for.
01 / Roof & building inspection
Roof & building inspection
High-level imagery to support condition review, repair planning and client communication — before, during and after the work.
02 / Thermal inspection
Thermal inspection
Surface temperature evidence that can help identify areas of a roof, envelope or array that may need closer attention.
03 / Construction progress
Construction progress
A consistent visual history of the project, from agreed viewpoints, so progress can be compared visit to visit.
04 / Commercial solar
Commercial solar
Visual and thermal coverage of commercial arrays, organised so installers, O&M and asset managers can decide where to look next.
05 / Mapping & visual 3D
Mapping & visual 3D
A navigable visual record of the site or agreed area, useful for context, documentation and later comparison.
06 / Asset & site documentation
Asset & site documentation
A baseline record of a building, a roof or a site — useful before works, after handover, or as the start of a repeat programme.
Visible + thermal
See the surface. Then see where heat behaves differently.
Thermal capture adds a second layer of information: surface temperature differences that may highlight areas of a roof, envelope or array worth investigating before arranging more expensive access.
Each thermal frame is presented with the matching visible image, so the pattern can be read in context — a basis for further review, not a diagnosis on its own.

What you receive
Clear evidence, structured around the requirement.
Every project is scoped around the information the client actually needs. Depending on the requirement, NOVENTRA can combine high-resolution visual imagery, thermal data, referenced observations and structured reporting into a record that can be reviewed, shared and acted upon.
- High-resolution visual imagery. Wide contextual imagery together with detailed views of the agreed inspection areas.
- Thermal imagery. Radiometric thermal capture where included in scope, presented with corresponding visible imagery where useful.
- Referenced observations. Relevant areas identified so the reader can see what was observed and where.
- Annotated evidence. Images can be marked or referenced to make specific areas easier to review.
- Priority and context. Where the project requires it, observations can be grouped so teams can see which areas may warrant attention first.
- Recommended next steps. Clear indication of where closer inspection, maintenance review or specialist follow-up may be appropriate.
Depending on scope. Not every item is included on every job.

Prepared for: Example recipient
Inspection date: Example date
Reference: NOV-RPT-SAMPLE
Inspection scope
- Visual coverage of the main roof covering
- Closer stills of plant, penetrations and the gutter line
- Thermal capture of the same roof
Capture summary
- Visual stills from planned high-level viewpoints
- Matched thermal stills of the roof covering and plant
- Observations referenced to area and recommended next step
Site overview
Example commercial warehouse roof. Capture covered the main covering, plant deck, gutter line and selected penetrations.
F-01 · Review recommended
North roof section
Observation. Localised surface deterioration is visible around the roof penetration.
Evidence. Detailed visual imagery
Next step. Consider closer inspection by the relevant roofing professional.
F-02 · Medium
Central membrane, south of the condenser group
Observation. A rectangular membrane patch is visible. The matching thermal frame shows a localised temperature difference along the upstand edge.
Evidence. Visual imagery with matching thermal frame
Next step. Further review of the patch perimeter may be appropriate.
F-03 · Observation
South-east roof section
Observation. A localised temperature difference is visible relative to the surrounding surface.
Evidence. Radiometric thermal imagery
Next step. Further investigation may be appropriate to establish the cause.
Summary and next actions
Priority items in this example relate to the north penetration and the membrane patch perimeter.
Recommended next actions are for the relevant contractor or consultant to review on site where needed.
A live pack includes only what the agreed scope captured.
Frame and groundworks Same viewpoint family · illustrative
Construction records
Same site. Same viewpoints. A visual history of progress.
Construction changes continuously. One flyover shows a moment. A monitoring programme agrees the viewpoints first, then returns to them so the project team can see what actually changed.
That record is useful for progress updates, milestone evidence and an archive after handover. Frequency is agreed around the job — one visit, key stages, or a regular programme.
How it works
Brief. Plan. Capture. Deliver.
01
Brief
Tell us what needs inspecting, understanding or documenting. A postcode, a roof type and a couple of sentences is enough to start.
02
Plan
We review the site, location, airspace and what the deliverable actually has to show. Then we confirm the scope with you.
03
Capture
Visual, thermal or repeatable site data is collected as agreed.
04
Deliver
The evidence is organised into the agreed imagery, observations and report so the team who needs it can use it.
One site or a programme
Use NOVENTRA once, or keep it available across the work.
A single roof inspection is a reasonable first job. The more useful relationship is often the next one: another roof for the same contractor, another building on the same estate, another visit on the same site.
- One-off inspections
- Repeat inspections of the same asset
- Multi-site programmes
- Construction monitoring
- Portfolio reviews
