Methods and systems for evaluating buildings

Abstract

A method is provided herein for evaluating a physical building, utilizing an automated image capture apparatus, a spatial computing apparatus, a machine learning model, a blockchain network, and a computer processor, the method including capturing and analyzing images of the building, dividing the building into sections, identifying defective characteristic(s) in and assigning a status to each section, sharing the images and status identifiers with a remote user, the remote user reviewing the images and identifiers, and receiving feedback from the remote user. When a section lacks sufficient images to determine whether a defect is present, the section may be flagged, and a supplemental image(s) may be captured and provided by the remote user. When no additional images are needed, the section may be indicated as completed. Otherwise, the section may retain its flagged status, and the aforementioned steps may be repeated as necessary.
