Drones provide an increased level of automation that allows workers to reach locations that are difficult to access and gather vast amount of data instantly.
Fremont, CA: The construction industry has seen a significant increase in the use of drones compared to other commercial sectors because of its ability and benefits it offers, which are crucial in construction activities.
Drones offer vital assistance and save costs with broad views of difficult and challenging locations to navigate. They reveal proper access with an aerial view and offer real-time scenarios with 360° panoramas that enable engineers to prioritize their strategies.
Here are four applications of drones in construction:
Remote Monitoring
Drones offer remote monitoring of sites from a significant height from any location, allowing a fast way to map a project's advancement when clients cannot be physically there. Project developers can survey project progress regularly with the help of various high-resolution aerial images and HD-quality videos.

Construction Site Inspections
Drones are useful for a construction site inspection to save time, reduce labor-intensive, better quality data, and enhanced safety. Builders can use the data collected by drones for streamlined integration and accurate monitoring of site progress without any latencies.
Equipment Tracking
Project managers use drones to find where equipment is, during the flight. It allows easy access to know if equipment has completed its work or is still on-site, preventing expensive accidental extension charges.
Topographic Mapping
Topographic maps show construction design flaws that are inaccurate for the terrain. However, their production can be expensive and time-consuming. A drone can collect a vast amount of data quickly, which saves costs, and the project costs needed for the activities. Additionally, its high-quality aerial images can create 3D modes of the surface or the terrain.
