Aerial intelligence · Calgary & Alberta

Engineering-grade diagnosticsfor the buildings, sites,and assets you operate.

Three programs — building envelope, construction progress, and earthworks volumetrics — each interpreted by a civil engineer and PMP, not a pilot with a camera.

Three flight programs, one operating picture.

Each program is built around the decisions it has to inform — schedule, defects, or earthworks. Every flight feeds the same workspace.

How it works

From the first flight plan to a decision-ready deliverable.

Every engagement runs the same four-stage workflow. Specs, accuracies, and turnaround are committed in writing before anyone flies.

Planning stage for aerial inspection workflow
STAGE 01 / 04 · PLAN

Plan

We translate the project goals — schedule milestones, defect criteria, target volumes — into a flight plan and a deliverable spec.

Why Nexus

Most drone operators sell aerial photos. We sell decisions.

Civil engineer and PMP-led diagnostics, interpreted frame-by-frame and built around the call you have to make next — which roof needs replacement, which trades aren't tracking, which volume claim is defensible.

01

Frame-by-frame interpretation

Every radiometric frame, every progress capture, every volumetric surface is reviewed by a civil engineer specialized in building diagnostics. No automated reports. No AI handoff. No "here's the data, you figure it out."

02

Engineered for Alberta buildings and sites

Working reference includes the National Building Code 2020, the Alberta Building Code, and the technical literature defining modern envelope and construction practice — from Joseph Lstiburek's work at Building Science Corporation to Canadian-specific guidance from NRCan, CHBA Net Zero, and Passive House Canada.

03

P.Eng. sign-off when you need it

Partner Professional Engineer registered with APEGA available for warranty disputes, insurance claims, and litigation deliverables. Scope and cost disclosed up front, before any inspection is booked.

The team

Engineering judgment on every report.

Nexus deliverables are not generated by software and forwarded. Every project is read, interpreted, and signed off by a building diagnostics specialist with structural engineering and project management background.

Daniel Cedeño

Founder · Building Diagnostics Specialist

Daniel is the technical lead behind every Nexus Analytics deliverable. A civil engineer by training and PMP-certified project manager, he brings more than eight years of experience in structural engineering and construction project management — the foundation that informs how he reads a building, a site, or an earthworks surface.

Over the past two years he has focused that experience specifically on building envelope diagnostics and aerial inspection methodology, combining radiometric thermal interpretation with a structural understanding of how envelope assemblies, roof systems, and façade details actually fail in Alberta's climate.

His working reference set includes the National Building Code 2020, the Alberta Building Code, and the technical literature that defines modern envelope and construction practice. He is currently working toward Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) registration with APEGA.

Flight operations & insurance

Every site. Every flight.

Nexus Analytics flights are conducted under Transport Canada RPAS-Advanced certification, with $2M commercial drone liability and WCB Alberta coverage on every site. Site-specific Special Flight Operations Certificates (SFOC) are coordinated where required.

Fleet: DJI Matrice 30T and Matrice 4DT, with scalable access to project-specific platforms.

Outcomes

Built for decisions that depend on the truth on the ground.

Aerial data only matters when it changes a meeting. Every Nexus deliverable is shaped around the call you have to make next.

OUTCOME · 01

Catch schedule slip before the next pay app.

Weekly progress overlays let owners and PMs see exactly which trades are tracking and which aren't — before billing is in dispute.

WHO USES IT
Owners · PMs · Lenders
VISIBILITY

Sharper visibility across evolving site conditions.

Layered captures show how a site is changing — and which changes need attention before the next site walk.

OUTCOME · 03

Make the call you can defend later.

When a volume, a defect, or a progress claim gets challenged, the deliverable holds up — interpreted by a civil engineer, georeferenced, and ready for a warranty dispute or a draw review.

OUTCOME · 04

Move from isolated reports to live operational confidence.

Defects, volumes, and progress sit alongside the field photos that produced them — every claim is linked to its evidence.

Evidence linked to every annotation
