I believe that educating your customers and having the heart of a teacher will get you further than any sales gimmick or fancy presentation. While orthomosaic photos the act of stitching multiple photos together looks great in a PDF if the person taking the data doesnt know what they are doing then its meaningless.
I had a customer reach out that one of there clients had a thermal inspection done of the building and to an un trained eye you would think that the entire roof was saturated because look how many hot spots there are. However to a trained eye I could tell immediately in the first photo that the data was taken while the sun was up. That is the worst time to look for water in a flat roof system.
The second photo was taken at night about 48 hours after a rain storm and you can see a drastic difference. While it looks like there is still alot when you get closer photos you can see real contrast and details like over lapping material, water underneath or on top of the membrane. The third photo is a side by side comparison of how thermal done correctly can let you see things the eye can not.
If you are a commercial real estate agent, building manager, roofer, or commercial property inspector let me be that independent 3rd party service in your tool box to help your clients.
