Building and Construction
Applications for drones in the building industry mainly revolve around the following uses;
-
Periodically repeated automated flights, for creating visual progress reporting records
-
Creating survey-grade “as-built” 3D scale models, to facilitate checking against plans
CDS Differentiators:
-
For the ultimate flexibility when planning periodically repeated, automated missions (eg, for construction progress reporting), my Matrice 300 drone is second-to-none. It offers;
-
Manually-flown complex missions can be recorded ad-hoc using Live Mission Recording. This records flight path on-the-go, plus when and where photos and videos are taken from, which can be safely and easily recreated as an automated mission at anytime in future.
-
AI Spot Check further enhances Live Mission Recording, with the ability to edit the specific framing, zoom level and other features of photos to be taken on future flights.
-
Simpler missions can use basic waypoint flights that can be planned in advance of the mission, to create flight paths and actions to be taken at certain locations, which can be flown at anytime in future. Waypoint flights can also in theory be planned off-site, however in a highly dynamic environment such as a building site, I would definitely not recommend anyone plan a mission with (likely) outdated satellite photos and road maps!
