Drone Inspection RFQ Checklist
The 13 questions every inspection request for quote should answer so providers can price accurately and buyers can compare.
The core questions
1) Which asset is being inspected? 2) What is the inspection objective? 3) How many assets, kilometres, acres or structures? 4) What are the site conditions — operational, energised, offshore, indoor or confined? 5) Which sensors are required? 6) Which deliverables are required? 7) Is engineering, surveying, thermography or NDT review needed? 8) What is the required delivery date? 9) Are there site access, induction or escort requirements? 10) Is visual line of sight sufficient, or is advanced authorisation expected? 11) What insurance limits are required? 12) How must data be stored and transferred? 13) Which systems will receive the output?
Asset-specific details
Solar: capacity, module layout and the thermal standard required. Wind: turbine count, make and model, onshore or offshore and shutdown status. Power lines: length, voltage class, vegetation or LiDAR needs and corridor access. Pipelines: length, leak-sensing needs and right-of-way access. Confined spaces: dimensions, entry opening, atmosphere and GPS availability. Emergencies: hazard status, incident contact and deadline.
Protect sensitive information
Share general locations in the first request and release exact critical-asset coordinates, drawings and access details only to shortlisted providers under your confidentiality terms.
Use the structured form
Our quote form asks these questions in order so every provider receives the same brief. Add drawings, asset lists and site rules after you shortlist.
