WHAT IS A REALITY REPORT

Systematic Field Documentation for Critical Infrastructure


A Reality Report is a structured, drone-and-camera-based documentation deliverable that captures the current condition, location, and relevant data of physical assets — organized and formatted to the client's reporting needs. Designed for infrastructure managers, facility operators, and public-agency staff, not a technical audience.

Reality Reports cover a wide range of asset types, including:
• Lift stations
• Subsurface structures
• Bridges
• Towers
• Utility facilities
• Mechanical and industrial facilities

Each Reality Report is fully customized — the format, data fields, and imagery are tailored to the client's operational and documentation requirements. Deliverables are reviewed by Florida Design Consultants' professional surveyors and engineers to ensure accuracy and professional quality.

WHAT WE CAPTURE

Every Detail. Every Angle. Every Asset.


Reality Reports compile multiple data types into a single organized deliverable suited to your workflow and documentation standards.

WHY REALITY REPORTS MATTER

Better Records. Smarter Decisions.


Reality Reports deliver five operational benefits that infrastructure owners and operators rely on to manage, plan, and communicate around their physical assets.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Reality Report FAQ


Find answers to common questions about Reality Report deliverables, supported assets, project coordination, updates, and reporting scope.

  • What types of assets can be documented in a Reality Report?

    Reality Reports can document a wide variety of infrastructure, utility, mechanical, industrial, and facility assets. Examples include lift stations, subsurface structures, bridges, towers, utility facilities, equipment, and other critical assets. Because every project is unique, contact FDC Reality to discuss your specific documentation needs.

  • What format is the final deliverable?

    Each Reality Report is customized around the client’s assets, workflow, and documentation requirements. Deliverables may include a hosted web-based report, PDF documentation, high-resolution imagery, 360° views, drone footage, GPS location data, condition records, and client-specified reporting fields. Contact FDC Reality to determine the most appropriate format for your project.

  • How is the site visit and capture scheduled?

    Every project is unique. FDC Reality coordinates directly with the client to understand the site, asset types, operational requirements, access considerations, and desired deliverables. The capture schedule is then planned to minimize disruption and support the project’s specific needs. Contact FDC Reality to discuss scheduling and next steps.

  • Can reports be updated after the initial capture?

    Yes. FDC Reality can perform follow-up capture sessions and update a Reality Report to document changed conditions, newly added assets, maintenance activity, or other developments. The recommended update schedule will depend on the facility, assets, and intended use of the report. Contact FDC Reality to discuss an appropriate update plan.

  • Do I need to have a complete asset inventory before starting?

    No. A complete pre-existing inventory is not required. FDC Reality can work with your team during project planning to identify the assets, locations, and information that should be documented. Since every project is unique, contact FDC Reality to define the appropriate scope and project-initiation process.
