7 Ways Drones Can Help Builders
- Drones are useful for builders and land developers who want to save time during site surveys or who need to examine hard-to-reach areas
- Thanks to drone technology, it’s also easier and cheaper than ever to get in-depth aerial views of a building or land development.
- While it may ordinarily take 30 minutes to an hour to walk an entire subdivision, a drone can fly over an entire site in ten minutes or less.
- Many builders use drones to capture images that help them market finished homes.
- Others use them for information gathering on speculative homes to determine elevations and to attain additional perspectives of potential designs.
- More and more builders are using drones to survey stockpiles, check inventory, monitor worker activity and conduct site inspections.
- Since developments can be expansive, both outward and upward, it can take a long time for teams of people to move around a site. On the other hand, drone technology allows a single operator to gather gigabytes of data in a matter of hours.
