Mapping & Construction

[Jason Alen]

Across the business world, industries have steadily improved productivity through innovation and the adoption of new technologies that get jobs done more efficiently and with less expenses. Construction in comparison, has largely remained the same in its ways and has lagged behind other industries in the adoption of technologies that help to improve productivity. According to a McKinsey report, on a global scale, the construction industry and related spending accounts for 13% of the global economies GDP. While other sectors have steadily improved productivity at significant levels, the construction industries annual productivity growth has increased by only 1% annually over the past 20 years. McKinsey identified seven areas that could be used to increase construction productivity by up to 50%-60%. Among them was the infusion of more technology and innovation into the construction industry. Drones in construction are a perfect example of an innovative piece of technology that can significantly improve construction project timelines while reducing the need for capital investment and skills requirements. On this page we will demonstrate the value that drone technology and drone surveying can deliver for construction companies.
