Tools such as drones, ultrasound and resonance are already transforming building inspections in Brazil
Forbee Engenharia is leading a true change in the construction industry by adopting innovative technology-based solutions for building inspections. Using cutting-edge equipment such as thermal and underwater drones, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound, the company is modernizing structural diagnostics, increasing the safety, precision and efficiency of construction projects.
Technological innovations gain ground in building inspections
The integration of new technologies in civil construction is no longer a trend but is becoming a reality at an accelerated pace. According to an article published in EARTH, the company Forbee Engenharia has started using methods such as magnetic resonance, ultrasound and special drones to carry out inspections on buildings of all sizes. The objective is to anticipate structural problems and reduce the need for invasive interventions, ensuring greater durability and safety for properties.
In an interview with EARTH, Giovanni Fermino, director of Forbee, explained that the equipment allows us to identify wear and failures at an early stage. “With these diagnoses, we can plan repairs accurately, optimizing costs and extending the useful life of buildings,” he said. The use of these technologies reflects a more modern and assertive approach, which reduces the impact of corrective works and favors sustainability process in civil construction.

Technology and civil construction: a strategic combination for the future
Among the resources most used by Forbee is thermal and underwater drone technology. Thermal models are used to identify temperature variations in structural components, which makes it easier to detect failures in insulation systems or thermal overload. Underwater drones are used in hard-to-reach areas, such as swimming pools and reservoirs. Ultrasonic inspection, in turn, is ideal for finding corrosion and internal anomalies in concrete and steel, without having to break down structures.
These practices not only make diagnostics more accurate, but also reduce maintenance response times. According to estimates cited by CBICMore (Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry), the sector is expected to grow 3,5% in 2024, driven by technological improvements and the good performance of the real estate market. Globally, data from the consultancy ResearchAndMarkets indicate that the building inspection services market could grow by more than 10% per year until 2027.
Sustainability and economy stand out with the use of technology
The digitalization of the construction sector does not only benefit large projects. Residential, commercial and even industrial properties are being assessed more efficiently thanks to the use of cutting-edge technology. This allows problems to be resolved early and at a lower cost, directly contributing to the preservation of buildings. According to the EARTH, this innovation also represents significant savings for managers and building managers who face constant challenges with building maintenance.
Engineering's commitment to technology as a competitive advantage in civil construction
Forbee Engenharia's performance shows how technology can become a competitive advantage in the construction sector. The company not only adopts the equipment, but also invests in training teams prepared to deal with the new tools, promoting a cultural transformation and operational within the sector. Thus, what was previously seen as a cost is now understood as a strategic investment.
