Introduction

In an industry increasingly defined by

technology, the role of drones is
reshaping how we approach site
surveying and progress monitoring. With
heightened demands for precision and
real-time insights, traditional methods
fall short. Enter drone technology — a
game-changer promising efficiency,
cost-effectiveness, and enhanced project
management. Join us as we delve into
the transformative impact of drones on
construction practices.
 Problem Statement

1 Current Challenges
Identifying the limitations in conventional
surveying methods for large-scale construction
projects.

2 Need for Accuracy

Highlighting the necessity of precise data
collection and real-time progress monitoring.
 Benefits of Using Drones in Construction
1. Pre-Construction and Initial Site Surveys.
2. Construction Inspection and Project Monitoring.
3. Boosted Productivity and Accountability.
4. Equipment Management and Tracking.

1. Pre-Construction and Initial Site Surveys:-

Creating and updating topographic maps are expensive and time-consuming activities. Drones can
map large areas of land, saving on the time it takes to gather information needed to develop
topographic maps and visualizations for modeling.
2. Construction Inspection and Project Monitoring:-
One of the most valuable benefits of using drones in construction is in the inspection
and monitoring of project progress. Project management is crucial in the successful completion of
jobs big and small. Observing the work of field crews is not only important to construction leaders
but also to owners, owners’ consultants, and third-party stakeholders.
