Surface and finish
Can the method apply the approved product and procedure to every zone, then meet the test-area acceptance standard?
Why Drones
A method to evaluate, not a shortcut to assume
Drone-supported application can change an exterior-cleaning work plan, but it does not automatically make a project faster, safer, cheaper, cleaner, or disruption-free. Those outcomes must be established against the actual alternatives and site.
Our Cleaning Platform
KYROCK uses the Lucid Bots Sherpa® cleaning drone.
The Sherpa is the drone platform in KYROCK's exterior-cleaning toolkit. It supports soft-wash, pressure-wash, and window-cleaning configurations, while the selected method, pressure, product, and access plan remain specific to each surface and site.

Ask the same six questions of every method
Access and exposure
Where will people, aircraft, lifts, ropes, platforms, hoses, vehicles, and falling objects be during setup, work, repositioning, and teardown?
Site operations
What happens to entrances, sidewalks, lanes, docks, balconies, intakes, tenants, events, production, and emergency access?
Rules and permissions
Which aviation, workplace, traffic, environmental, property, manufacturer, preservation, and owner requirements apply?
Schedule
What are the real setup, test, production, weather, drying, cure, inspection, touch-up, teardown, and contingency durations?
Cost
Do the bids cover the same measured surfaces, finish, controls, documentation, assumptions, exclusions, and owner responsibilities?
Where Fit Changes
A drone may be one part of a combined scope
Ground-level flatwork, hands-on detailing, restoration, shielded recesses, interior courtyards, obstructed facades, sensitive sites, unsuitable airspace or weather, equipment limits, and finish requirements may favor another method. Divide the building into zones instead of forcing one access system onto every surface.
Before Award
Evidence to request
