Over the past few years, drones have become central to the functions of various businesses and governmental organizations. Increasing work efficiency and productivity, decreasing workload and production costs, improving accuracy, refining service and customer relations, are a few of the top uses drones offer industries globally.

Here are some examples of how drones can be used by different industries:

• Construction: Drones can produce impressive aerial views and give clients a grasp of the project’s progression, especially when they cannot be physically present on a site. This helps assure clients that their spend is being utilized efficiently.
• Inspections: Using drones to inspect roofs, solar panels and other hard to reach structures, is an effective way to increase speed, safety and accuracy, while reducing the cost of evaluating or taking measurements of the rooftops. Drones can also be used for planned maintenance of larger-scale structures like bridges, towers, roofs, and scaffolding. A task that would take an entire team of surveyors to do would only take a few hours with a drone operator.
• Mapping: Due to their ability to map vast quantities of land, drones can exponentially cut down on time spent visualizing a site’s topography. This helps to keep the project on schedule and on budget and ensures accuracy before the project is initiated. Gathering this information can help determine feasibility and assist with design.
• 3D Models: The high-resolution images produced by drones can be manipulated into 3D models, allowing the construction crew to pinpoint challenges during pre-construction and spot mistakes in the scope, saving time and money in the long run.

Drones’ current capabilities allow them to cut costs, time, risk, and labor while improving workflow, accuracy, communication, and efficiency. Contact us today to see how we can help you with your project.
