The construction industry is a vast yet dynamic industry that evolves alongside our society. The more our society grows and innovates, the more the construction industry follows suit.
The construction industry has come a long way from the time of the pyramids to our buildings of today due to the utilization of advanced technology like drones for efficient project closeout and completion. One of the most labour-intensive industries in our world today is the construction industry. Despite its labour-intensivity, it has a continuing labour shortage hence left with no choice than to adapt with its current situation. One of the industry’s strongest skills is adapting thus the use of drones in the industry. The use of drones in the construction industry continues to be the fastest growing trend as its usage rising by 239% year over year. This technology offers more than just an aerial photography for all properties be it commercial or residential. Drones are used for mapping large areas over a long distance, producing valuable thermal images and aerial heat maps. This technology also provides real-time, actionable data that can be used for making rapid decisions to further streamline the entire construction process of a project. The biggest liabilities in construction are said to be personal safety and equipment loss. Looking at on-site security tools, drones can be used to reduce labour cost and minimize the risk of theft, hiccups, and keeping projects on schedule.
