An Introduction to Drones: How they are Revolutionizing the Construction Industry

Sara Udenia

Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive overview of the growing role of unmanned aerial vehicles UAVs or drones in the construction industry. Drones have permeated various aspects of our lives, and are increasingly being utilized to optimize construction processes, enhance safety measures, and improve overall efficiency. The paper explores the advantages and drawbacks of incorporating drones in construction, highlighting their potential to revolutionize surveying processes, increase productivity by up to 60, and reduce worker exposure to dangerous tasks. However, it also discusses the limitations of drone usage, such as weather constraints and privacy issues. Furthermore, the article emphasizes the significant impact drones can have on enhancing worker safety in an industry known for its high casualty rates and machinery theft. Lastly, it underscores the need for continued technological advancements and increased adoption of drones in the construction sector to address these critical challenges.
