6 Ways Drones Can Be Used in Construction

Drones have changed the way the construction industry does business.

Those changes are just the beginning.

These new trends will impact construction operations in the future.

Pre-Planning

Visual data collected by a drone can help construction companies get a solid understanding of the whole site before they begin construction.

Done images and video can give designers and architects a of how a new building might look next to an existing one.

Show possible drainage spots, changes in elevation, and other factors that can help determine the best places to build, dig, or stockpile materials.

A map can be created with drone data that will reveal that a certain area is in a floodplain, that’s probably not the best place to build.

Management and Communication

Drones are used as a means of maintaining contact at worksites.

Drones, like the ones we use at Aero Drone Visions, can provide video footage to communicate what is being done in large area’s and hard to reach locations.

Keeping the Client in the Loop and keeping them up to date and how things are progressing on the site.

Infrastructure Improvement

Their ability to collect and report visual data allows them to complete work faster.

Contractors who rely on drones and the images they provide, will be able to make much more ambitious bids and complete work on time.

Overall Safety Can Improve

Drones are used to maintain the safety of employees.

Safety on a construction site isn’t just about keeping workers safe—it’s also about finding access points where civilians could enter the work area and potentially hurt themselves.

Survey Dangerous Locations

Drones can photograph and shoot video of dangerous locations easily and without putting humans at risk.

Drones offer high levels of maneuverability and used more and more as an alternative to traditional vehicles and minimizing the need for manpower.

Marketing and Updating Progress

Via aerial Drone video and photography, developers can keep track of ongoing progress on a construction site is very important and easily done with Aero Drone Visions, on a regular or semi-regular basis.

Marketing from an elevated position is another great benefit for using a drone.

From a drone’s perspective, the sky’s the limit.

Drones can capture sweeping vistas of large construction sites and then capture tighter video and still images of portion of a building and/or home construction.
