Without a doubt, drones are now a crucial tool for the construction and inspection sectors. They offer an unparalleled perspective on target regions, supplying useful information that can offer critical, up-to-date insights on ongoing projects or inspections. Making 2D maps of a target area with drones is a useful method of data acquisition. A drone that uses automated flight plans can cover a certain area on a predetermined path while taking dozens or even hundreds of pictures. Software can then be used to stitch these photos together to create a single, high-resolution image of the desired region. Offering a top-down perspective of the entire area, it adds unrivaled value to people both on and off the job site.

There is no comparison to the value added for investors, contractors, developers, and more. It provides a top-down view of the entire job site or possible site to those who are not in the field. Now think about the added benefit of having these automated flights run on a weekly or monthly basis for the duration of the project, so that the entire area is documented from beginning to end. Drones are the only way to acquire the vantage point and value that 2D maps can offer.
