Due to their flexible uses and the fact that they are small yet sophisticated pieces of equipment, drones could soon become as commonplace on construction sites as trucks and diggers.
A recent report by Goldman Sachs estimated that the largest expected take-up for commercial drones would be in the construction industry. Such sizeable growth is evidence that business leaders no longer view drones as mere high-tech toys. Cutting-edge drone technology means that project managers can now perform site inspections in a cost-effective and efficient manner, all the while keeping employees away from dangerous environments. Getting an aerial view of a building or development is now easier and cheaper than ever.
