When you think of drones, chances are you think of unmanned military machines. However, over the past several years drones have made quite a splash in the civilian market. The construction industry, in particular, has found drones to be a godsend in terms of efficiency. For example, drones have been used to...

#1: Aerial Surveying

Before breaking ground on a new project, the land has to be surveyed. Doing this the old-fashioned way means surveyors need to take their measurements by hand, often working in teams. However, with drones providing an eye in the sky, it's possible to survey land with a single machine. Not only that, but the video can be shown to clients, and reviewed for posterity from a place of comfort.

#2: Security

Keeping a job site secure is often a difficult task. Since the structure isn't complete, and there's often no on-site power or Internet access, setting up security systems can be difficult. Drones allow a company to keep an eye on a site from the air, day or night, monitoring what's going on. Sometimes that bird's-eye view is all it takes to catch serious problems before they get out of hand.

#3: Inspection

It takes a lot of effort, and poses no small amount of risk, for men to inspect structures as they're built. Drones cut down on the risk by allowing a full inspection of a structure from the ground. Not only that, but a drone can conduct an inspection more quickly, saving a great deal of time as well.
