Construction projects have been for long been somewhat opaque to latest automation technologies in inspection, monitoring, and completion. A part of the slow uptake of these can be ascribed to the reluctance of contractors and land developers to integrate these in the workflow. The fallouts have been, nonetheless, significant: crossing the estimated budget, lack of complete and in-depth visibility of the assets, and exposing fleets to safety hazards. The massive market prospects of drones stems from the inclination to bring new levels of productivity in construction sector.
Construction Projects to Reap Vast Gains of Automation through Drone Services
The construction industry has reaped substantial gains from drone-based solutions and the applications of these continue to expand from inspection to completion. Ranging from the basic soil and ground quality to topography to further inspection across the stages and finally to completion, the possibilities in the drone-based solutions in the construction market are vast. A wide range of imaging technologies and tools, with LiDAR being a glaring example, are being intertwined with drone solutions.
A growing number of dredging projects are harnessing drone-based solutions for saving costs, gaining access to critical land data, and for optimizing human resources. A case in point is the growing use of 3D imaging for getting access to high-quality geo-spatial data in a small fraction of time than before.

Construction for Renewable Energy Presents Incredible Avenue
Quality inspections are becoming more important than ever, given the breadth of constructions projects being undertaken for commercial and industrial facilities. Worldwide, the construction industry has witnessed rise in demand for expanding oil and gas infrastructure and for cell tower for meeting next-gen demand for ICT networks. Perhaps, large-scale construction for renewable sector present an incredible avenue for players in the drone-based solutions in the construction market. This is evident in the groundswell of attention solar and wind farm projects are likely to get among governments in several countries across the world.
One of the key propositions that have made construction sector to embrace drones is protection of the workforce from hazards. Surveillance of dangerous construction sites have been conventionally associated with hazards, despite the workplace safeguards in place. Drones services have been successful in providing a safe environment for the crew. Advances in computing technologies, along with cloud-based services, have enabled service providers to easily get access to all crucial data and share them across the project teams. Data analysts see an enormous value in these data and are using them to reduce the overall cost and time of the construction projects.
The demand for advanced fleet management technologies is another key trend that has raised the ante for players in the drone-based solution in the construction market. In the coming years, drones technologies and tools are expected to gather steam among construction companies, particularly among drone construction inspection services. Further, drone service providers are keen on improving the functionality of the drone solutions by incorporating advanced data-management software.
Regulatory Bottlenecks Must be Overcome
Despite the brimming opportunities in the drone-base solutions in the construction market, regulatory bottlenecks impede the pace of adoption. The deployment of drone-based solutions is beset with stringent compliance for the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles for commercial applications. A notable case in point is the obstacles that players are facing to expand their services in the U.S. Other regions are largely controlled by limitations in land surveying technologies.
Overall, the market landscape still lacks some standardization, which calls for better regulation by state and federal agencies. The advances in AI will further boost the capabilities of drones, paving way to new avenues in the drone-based solutions in the construction market.
