Benefits of drones in construction
Construction projects are complicated, time-consuming and resource-intensive.
According to a report from McKinsey & Co. keeping a project on schedule and costs down are the two most highly valued performance metrics for construction companies. However, the construction sector has struggled to meet these requirements. 53% of completed construction projects are behind schedule. 66% of completed construction projects are over budget.
Drones in the construction industry can reverse these trends. They realize the important role of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in improving the industry. UAVs, or drones, can help improve company performance and complete commercial projects faster. Here are 3 ways companies are deploying drones in construction today.
Global Commercial Drone Market size is estimated to reach USD 2,069.6 million by 2022, as per a new research report by HexaResearch.
Increasing application of these machines in various industry sectors such as military, agriculture and energy among others is expected to drive industry demand.
Growing investments in industrialized markets for technology innovation and commercialization is likely to provide opportunities for future applications in the commercial drones market.Drones are being increasingly used for commercial purposes such as delivering products to customers without hiring a driver.
In addition, solar powered drones with five years airborne capacity are increasingly used as mobile access points to provide internet access in remote areas.
Media and entertainment industries are expected to fuel the demand considerably owing to its small size and flying capability.
Nano drone was valued at USD 38.7 million in 2014 and is projected to witness highest growth rate over the forecast period.
These are the tools that are being used in actual construction sites that make use of automated and partially-automated equipment.Nowadays, advancement in technology in almost everything is changing the way we live.Of course, this does not exempt the construction industry.
It is changing so fast even cement won't be able to dry quickly enough.BIMBIM or Building Information modeling is a method of planning and drafting blueprints.
That includes engineers, architects, owners, finance, etc.The leverage of BIM is practically limitless.
It is seamless and accurate, as well as flexible.
Also, BIM allows for real-time communication between all parties involved wherever and whenever.Offsite ConstructionThere are two kinds of offsite construction: prefabricated and modular.
Offsite construction is only getting more efficient as innovations are continually being applied on an almost quarterly basis.Mobile Apps and SoftwareToday, construction technology is already making use of cloud-based solutions to store and move information as needed.
