Construction & Architecture
Typical construction projects run 80 percent over budget and 20 months behind schedule.
Service Description
From pre-planning to groundbreaking to ribbon cutting, drones streamline workflows and keep all parties in direct control of construction progress. Drones are revolutionizing the construction industry by saving time and money. Drones cover more area during inspections, collect and analyze real-time data and allow managers and stakeholders to access the data from anywhere in the world, increasing productivity and improving communication. Benefits of Drones in Construction: High-Resolution Visual Monitoring Construction sites rely heavily on visual monitoring. Drones provide digital aerial capture of any angle of a project with immediate analysis that can be used for progress monitoring and to make on-the-spot decisions. Real-time site management is crucial to staying on budget and within deadline. Improved Progress Monitoring There is a lot of area to cover and many working parts on a construction site. Aerial footage from a drone can monitor progress, productivity and accountability. Drones allow managers to visually see why something may not be working or taking too long and to address problems before costing money or losing valuable time. Transparency with Stakeholders Improve communication with stakeholders by providing them with real-time footage of the progress of their investment, even when they cannot be on site. This keeps your clients happily in the loop and allows them to understand the progress visually. Centralized Communication with Internal Teams Drone software makes it easy to share data collectively with internal teams such as designers, engineers, inspectors and workers. A centralized location to upload and store data allows access for anyone to check on progress, address problems and use for future reference to improve productivity. Increase Safety Construction sites are full of safety hazards, and injury rates are 71 percent higher than in any other industry. Drones drastically decrease the risk of injuries by eliminating the need for employees to conduct inspections in hard-to-reach or dangerous areas. Drone inspections can collect information from anywhere on site, regardless of the circumstances. For instance, after rain, inspections are necessary; however, manual inspections are dangerous due to slick and slippery situations. Save Time and Money Drones can work quicker and more efficiently than humans. This allows construction teams to increase productivity and complete projects faster.
