In order to keep stakeholders informed and better integrate clients into the construction lifecycle, FCL Builders hired The Drone Life to visually document site progress. Biweekly drone flights gave offsite project owners and subcontractors insight into daily work, and ensured that the project was completed on-time and within budget. For on-site workers, drone imagery centralized project information and kept cross-functional teams up-to-date.

Drones are moving the construction industry forward, providing unparalleled value to construction stakeholders. Whether for project monitoring, progress tracking, or better documentation, drones automate manual processes and reduce unnecessary site visits. Discover how clients, owners, general contractors, surveyors, engineers, developers, investors, and bankers benefit from drone technology.

Construction is consistently ranked as one of the most stressful careers in the world — but it doesn’t have to be. Using readily-available drone technology, workers can address long-held frustrations and on-site challenges that frequently plague the industry. In this article, learn how drones can be used for better reporting, conflict resolution, site planning, and overall project management.

In the ever-evolving environment of land development, the pursuit of sustainable, efficient, and risk-mitigated projects stands at the forefront of industry objectives. In this article, we will examine mitigating risks in land development, uncovering several ways drone technology is reshaping the land development industry from identifying unbuildable terrains to mediating contractor disputes and the pivotal role drones play in mitigating risks.

Discover how drone surveys promote sustainability and ensure proper material handling on every job site through detailed documentation and high-resolution imagery. A birds-eye view of the project pre-, post- and during construction gives workers the awareness needed to reduce pollution and keep surrounding areas safe.

In today’s rapidly evolving world of technology, drone-based volumetric surveys have emerged as a highly accurate alternative to traditional methods. Equipped with advanced sensors and software to provide precise measurements of stockpiles, landfills, and natural resources, drones can create highly accurate volumetric surveys. This article aims to inspire informed decision-making for mining, aggregate, and general contractors.

The construction industry is a traditional, analog space typically resistant to new technology — but it doesn’t have to be. New tools for progress tracking, real-time data monitoring, and remote surveying are becoming more popular as digitization takes hold. In this article, we address the most common barriers to technology adoption in AEC, and how to overcome these challenges.
