Construction drones: a practical buying guide

Drones can support mapping, inspections, progress reporting and stockpile measurement. The best system depends on site size, airspace, required accuracy, camera payload and data-processing workflow.

Before buying

Confirm pilot and operating requirements, insurance, site permissions, RTK needs, mapping software costs and how the outputs will be used by project teams.
