"Drones (UAV's) use has been steadily increasing over the last few years as construction companies realize the value they can provide for their large scale projects. Saving man hours and transport costs through reduced site visits and allowing teams to view and discuss build projects at a time convenient to them is a real game changer especially when stakeholders may be in other time zones."
Neil explains this type of imaging provides a multitude of benefits and is now being used in the construction and engineering industries in cities and towns across the UK and worldwide.
Benefits such as:
Planning construction - where we can gather detailed aerial views of the proposed construction site to use for logistics and production planning. Other uses include land surveys, thermal imaging and laser scanning. Drone photography can also be used to create 3D models within a BIM application or for other uses

Monitor jobsite progress - Drones can remotely monitor jobsite progress to make sure things are on track and to facilitate immediate, changes or adjustments as needed. Aerial footage can be sent real-time to clients, investors and lead persons on the job and architects and engineers can gain immediate access to the jobsite on screen from the comfort of their desk
Spot potential issues - Computer technology can compare what's on plans to what's happening in real life. Images from the drones can be fed through specific software to compare it with the plans, highlighting deviations before it's too late
Capturing marketing images - We all know pictures sell and your marketing will be dramatically improved with the use of high-resolution aerial photos. Showcase completed projects or use imagery for CGI visualizations
