Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and the Future of Asset Management

This business plan examines the viability of using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), otherwise known as aerial drones for asset management inspections. The UAVs are equipped with high-resolution cameras for photo and video documenting of asset conditions. The business plan includes a cost-benefit analysis for inspecting assets located in remote regions of British Columbia and Yukon and compares this rate structure with other inspection options. This plan concludes with a comprehensive financial analysis determining capital start-up costs, a breakeven analysis, a 5-year financial pro forma, and a risk assessment.
