How Drone Technology is Impacting the Construction Industry
Drone technology has also proved beneficial when it comes to building information modelling, or BIM, which is a digital representation of a physical and functional characters of a facility or building.
Komatsu, a technology company in Japan, for example, has paired up with Skycatch, a drone service provider based in Southern California, on “Smart Construction.” This project leverages drone footage to create 3D renderings of the jobsite.
Drones also enable meaningful and helpful comparisons between BIM designs and the actual construction on-site.
