Drones in Construction?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) or as they are more commonly called, “Drones,” are machines that are operated by a remote control.

These technological wonders have been used in a variety of fields and ways, from the science fields to the military, to accomplish tasks that are challenging to impossible for humans to perform.

Construction has not always quickly embraced new technological advancements and the use of drones on future construction projects is yet another technological wonder that has yet to prove itself broadly accepted.

In one of our newsletters we presented some potential benefits (data collection, improved safety) as well potential disadvantages (liability, misuse) associated with drone use in construction.
