Best quotes
we've been able to develop develop some technology that um that allows buildings to be uh kind of scanned uh every millimeter of a building and the uh the AI is able to pick up flaws and we also use thermal technology to uh to find uh energy loss and uh on the exterior skin
some of the biggest players in this industry are in Hong Kong and Singapore and some of the cities that were were just launching in uh but it's a worldwide issue and uh you know for example in in Europe they just come up with a new green deal
we believe we could have completely solved this problem uh in in that case we would have eliminated those risks by at least showing them the problem but uh when you see the development of a problem like this from one year to the next uh you're not going to ignore it
FAQ
What technology does Inspekt AI use to inspect buildings?
Inspekt AI utilizes drones to scan every millimeter of a building's exterior. They also employ artificial intelligence to detect flaws and thermal technology to find energy loss.
How often do buildings need to be inspected according to Michael Earle?
Once Inspekt AI begins inspecting buildings, they realize that most structures need to have this done yearly. This allows clients to watch movement and track cracks or flaws developing from one year to the next.
How could disasters like the Surfside condominium collapse be prevented?
The technology can detect cracks and year-over-year changes, such as salt water getting into rebar and deteriorating it. Identifying these structural issues early allows building owners to address risks before they lead to structural failure.
What are Michael Earle's current expansion goals for the company?
Michael Earle is currently focused on growing operations in the United States, including launching a new office in Boston, working on projects in Los Angeles and out west, and expanding into European markets.
