Precision Aerial Photography

Historically, most aerial views of construction sites were obtained through helicopter photography. This method has proven to be time-consuming, expensive, and inefficient, and as a result, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, is rapidly gaining popularity as a highly-effective alternative method of construction monitoring.

Drones controlled by an experienced pilot can be flown high above A skyscraper at the job site, sending real-time information to the engineers and project managers on the ground. At the same time, UAVs collect high-resolution images that can then be used by licensed surveyors and mappers to create 3D models. Crucially, drones can fly close to the construction area, providing close-up shots of multiple areas around the jobsite.
