Discover how drones boost construction productivity, address low technology adoption, and support site purchase, surveying, earthwork estimation, safety regulations, and site inspection through platform and sensor choices.
Discover how drones unlock productivity in construction by fast surveying and photogrammetry-enabled geolocation, enabling site surveys, volumetric analysis, progress tracking, and asset management.
Fly only in good weather with lighting; avoid rain, night, high winds, and low visibility. Inform site management and wear safety gear, keep visual line of sight with a spotter.
Leverage drones to support site purchase decisions by capturing site feature details and views from the 5th and 10th stories, supplementing on-site visits and Google Earth insights for buyer pitches.
Explore how drones revolutionize land surveying by capturing high-resolution geo-referenced data, including 2D orthomosaics, DSMs, and 3D models with precise contours and ground control points.
Drone data for Architects
Learn to estimate earthwork for construction projects using cross-section, grid, and triangular prism methods, calculating cut and fill volumes from existing and proposed surfaces with drone dtm accuracy.
Extract a DTM to xyz in QGIS, generate a level surface in Civil 3D, and compute cut and fill volumes with the volumes dashboard for earthwork estimation.
Explore how site inspections use drone-enabled autonomous flights to monitor construction progress, capture videos and images, and analyze real-time outputs from a single dashboard for safer, efficient inspections.
Demonstrate how the Litchi app automates drone flight and data capture for inspections, using orbit, track, follow, and waypoint modes in a live demo.
Explore how drones transform the construction industry, covering licensing and safety, land surveys, earthwork estimations, automated site inspections, and modules on deviation detection, progress tracking, hr, and training.
This course is the first part of the course series Ultimate Guide to Drone Applications-Construction Industry
Part 1 goes into complete detail into how you, as an employee or employer of a construction company, project management company, real estate company or a drone service providing company can use drones to increase accuracy, maximize your efficiency and cost savings in the first 5 stages of a construction project.
We have explained how you can use drones to collect data and use it for the following purposes -
Using drones to make site purchase decisions
Using drones to conduct land survey
Using drone survey outputs for site layout and architecture design
Using drone survey outputs for earthwork estimation
Using drones to inspect site activities
Our previous course series The Ultimate Guide for Land Surveying with Drones has been a best seller on Udemy with more than 4000 enrollments from across 114 countries.
Reviews:
"Superb. This course is very useful for anyone who is even remotely interested about drones. This shows us all the technical possibilities with drones and how to build a high value business out of it - much beyond aerial videos and photos."
"This course opens up a new perspective for the usage of drones in a construction site."
"Brilliant! Perhaps the best information available anywhere about usage of drones for construction industry."
"The depth of explanation in this course is absolute! It would be very helpful for all civil engineers like me. Thanks for creating this course."
"Fabulous course! All the details needed for application of drones in construction industry are in.the. course. highly recommended."
