Top 4 Benefits of Drones in Construction

Posted on

By DroneBase.

Drones are an innovative solution to deliver sophisticated analytics, provide a visual progress report, and allow worksite managers to track, map, survey, and manage projects easily. They are used on hundreds of sites nationwide and are equipped to perform construction flights safely, efficiently, and under compliance with all worksite regulations.

Plenty of construction professionals use drones to take their projects (and efficiencies!) to the next level. Here are a few of the top reasons contractors choose drones for their worksite needs.

1 – Site progress

Get project updates as they happen, regardless of your proximity to the worksite.

2 – Stakeholder communication

Share visual project updates with key stakeholders to keep all parties informed on progress.

3 – Surveying

Gather analytics via drone to vastly reduce time associated with traditional forms of site mapping.

4 – Stockpile measurements

Collect accurate volume data with a fraction of the manual labor.

Top Uses of Aerial Imagery and Web-based Tools

Posted on

Contractors are quickly discovering the ways that aerial imagery can help them unlock new opportunities, cut costs and gain a strategic advantage.

Here are the top ways that contractors are leveraging the power of aerial imagery, according to Nearmap:

  1. Search and navigate – The search bar allows contractors to identify specific address, locations or points of interest and then quickly pan, zoom and navigate around the area. Nearmap constantly updates its imagery which means you won’t be sending crews onsite based on outdated information. Verify field reports, surveys, boundary lines and other data sources.
  2. Proposal development – High-resolution imagery can be used in proposals that create a professional presentation where you can emphasize the important details that you want to communicate.
  3. Targeting – identify more leads and target specific areas. The imagery shows unique characteristics of properties
  4. Communication – strengthen what teams can accomplish through better reports, board presentations and annotated communications.
  5. Measurement – accurate measurement data for estimates, quotes, and planning.
  6. Change detection – historical imagery for monitoring change, verifying what happened when, or viewing different times of the year.
