7 Ways Drones Can Help Builders

  1. 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
  2. Thanks to drone technology, it’s also easier and cheaper than ever to get in-depth aerial views of a building or land development.
  3. 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.
  4. Many builders use drones to capture images that help them market finished homes.
  5. Others use them for information gathering on speculative homes to determine elevations and to attain additional perspectives of potential designs.
  6. More and more builders are using drones to survey stockpiles, check inventory, monitor worker activity and conduct site inspections.
  7. 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.
