Construction

Great for:

Surveying
Job Progression
Inspections
Project Management
Safety Improvement
And much more...

1. Plan Construction

Before ground is broken and after it is cleared, you can get a detailed aerial view of the proposed construction site to use for logistics and production planning. Other uses include land surveys, thermal imaging, and laser scanning. Drone photos can also be used to create 3D models within a BIM application or for other uses.

A succession of aerial images could be turned into a time-lapse video or GIF for your team to study or to put up on your website. Both remote sites and sites in city centers can benefit from aerial drone photography.

Owners often want to know what the view will be from the top of a proposed structure; drones can capture these views as well.

2. Document Progress

Aerial photography can give a unique perspective of a project. The photos have excellent depth and provide much better quality with a fast turn around time.

With the sharp photos and rapid access, you can get near real-time information on progress. These photos are also easily shared with remote owners or other stakeholders as well as other team members.

These same images can be used later in your marketing materials.

3. Spot Potential Issues

Often on a jobsite, there are areas that are difficult to inspect physically. Occasionally, accidents occur in places where it is nearly impossible to view from the ground. Drone photography can provide a less hazardous way to visualize potential hazards. The detailed photos available from drones can pinpoint potential problem areas where advance planning could mitigate safety and logistics problems.

4. Capture Marketing Images

Pictures sell. Your marketing will improve dramatically if you can add aerial photos to your website, brochures, and social media accounts. You can show completed projects or a GIF of the construction process. You could even use still images and video to show curious customers and readers how certain construction processes work.

Owners also dearly love to see and share images of their projects while they are in progress and, especially, after completion. You might consider adding these types of collateral to your closing paperwork to extend your reach to others who would be interested in your services.
