Drones provide architects, engineers and project managers an incredible tool to quickly and efficiently gather large amounts of data from a job site, in real time. The drone technology of today, coupled with a skilled pilot, provides a simple and cost-effective means to gather data and make objective fact-based decisions.

Construction progress management is greatly simplified, and job profits are improved with drone technology. High resolution images can be gathered and processed into high resolution color maps and 3D models allowing teams to look at the same high-quality information helping them to make better decisions based on factual information. With the use of RTK technology, highly accurate, cost-effective modeling and mapping is the end product. Drones provide teams with tools making precise measurement and geometric verification possible.

Site work can be monitored from an aerial platform that allows engineers the ability to track progress in real time, while making precise measurements of locations and site features. Material movement can be measured very precisely, tracking the cubic feet of earth that has been moved to verify phase completion and milestones in a way previously not possible. With a bird’s eye view of a job site, potential issues can be identified early in the process, saving costly errors and delays.
