Drones are becoming a beneficial tool to observe trends on construction sites, and provide data that can help improve efficiency and create realistic timelines.

Here are a few of the benefits and uses of construction jobsite drones: 

Aerial Imaging

While on a jobsite, aerial imaging provides important information about the construction site from angles usually unseen. Drones can help the contractors visualize important insights and changes that may need to be made to the site for a more accurate, safe, and efficient construction to save both time and money.  

Calculating Volume

Another important use for drone photography is to calculate and manage the volume of materials on the site. Before, it was difficult to measure the amount of mulch, dirt, or other material left in the site inventory. Earthpile Volumes can now be easily calculated through the use of software to provide the site managers with the most updated data as possible. 

Progress Management

The simplest drone data is also one of the most beneficial: Progress photos. Clients may not be able or willing to visit the site often during its construction. By providing progress photos, they can easily visualize the progress of the site in a hassle-free manner.  It is recommended to take the photos from the same distance and angle each time to easily identify changes.
