Investment monitoring by drone – effective control of construction progress

See how to properly plan a drone mission so that data can be processed into orthophotos and 3D models. Check out the differences in raid planning for linear construction (roads, railroads) and building and roof models.

SkySnap Publications: “Digital Twins”
More and more industries are using drone data. Properly processed into, for example, a 3D model of an object, they become an ideal data set for generating and updating so-called digital twins.
SkySnap Publications: “Construction Industry”.
On the one hand, as many as 280 construction companies went bankrupt or initiated restructuring proceedings in 2022. On the other hand, it is an opportunity to introduce new tools and technologies to improve decision-making processes. It is in the digitization of construction that many companies see opportunities to increase project profitability, optimization and savings.
SkySnap interview: “Knowledge more valuable than data”
Pawel Wojcik, CMO of SkySnap, gave an interview to Geoinformation Magazine Geodet. We talked about whether the combination of drones and artificial intelligence algorithms is a threat or an opportunity for geodesy.
What does it look like to measure aggregate volume with a drone?
Measuring the volume of aggregates - whether heaps of aggregate, sand, ballast or other bulk materials - is an essential part of inventory management in many industries, including construction, mining and logistics. Traditional methods (such as surveying with a total station or GPS receiver) are time-consuming, expensive, error-prone and dangerous. That's why more and more companies are opting for drone-based volume measurement, which is fast, precise and safe.
How do drones support construction companies in their projects?
Already at the bidding stage, cost estimators face the challenge of correctly pricing a given investment at the various stages: design, preparation of the land for the construction site, and implementation of the investment.

New Technology Trends in Construction Industry
The construction industry is the largest market in the world. It generates an annual turnover of $10 trillion, or about 13% of the world's GDP. It is also the industry with the lowest productivity right next to agriculture.
