In this video we'll be taking a deep dive into the benefits of drones in construction and why construction companies are using drones.

Here is what you'll be learning about drones in the construction industry:

First, you’ll learn how drones are greatly assisting construction companies during the bidding process. Site surveys and orthomosaic maps help more accurately project costs, timelines, and scope of work.

Then, I talk about the innovative ways drone technology is being used for earthworks. Cut and fill surveys can be performed super frequently to evaluate the conformance to construction schedule and track all the materials being moved throughout the site.

Next I'll discuss how drone data provides huge advancements in communication between, sub contractors, engineers, and managers. One of the best examples of this is overlaying drone maps onto CAD drawings for an easy comparison.

With that, you'll learn about drone progress reports and how periodic images of the construction site are really useful for project managers, investors, and even lawsuits.

Then we'll take a look at traditional methods of conducting construction inspections and how drones are making these jobs much safer and quicker.

Lastly we'll talk about other unique and beneficial ways to repurpose drone photos and videos within your construction company.

I appreciate how you broke it down and the insight you shared. I'm having issues downloading the guide as it says it doesn't accept public domain emails. Can that be updated by chance?

Do you always get GCPs when doing stockpile measurements?

[tonykampkes]

I wonder if drones beside inspections they can under take minor maintenance tasks.

Must I get a surveyor licence to do work for a construction company? I have just software and drone with photo company and was looking into doing work for construction to fill in some lapses in my bookings.

[JCDiaz-Skytech]

Jon, good video! What SW are you using for stockpile measurements?

[blainelyne]

Hi, Nice videos!
Can I get accurate Earthworks and stockpile volumes with a drone that is not RTK?

[damolaadigun]

can it be used for modular construction ?
