Traditionally, the construction industry has always been based on more analogue than digital services. Labour intensive methods can be costly and the potential for human error is high. Conversely, investing time and money in digital services can improve efficiency, productivity and accuracy.
For example, the use of drones in building surveys is a prime example of how technological advancement can only improve the end result. Gone are the days of needing health and safety risk assessments, hiring cumbersome and expensive equipment and requiring a building surveyor to be present on site.
UAV drone survey services such as those offered by Monssi are flexible, quickly reported and backed by RCIS certification. Whether your survey needs are for roof tops or underground caverns; historic buildings or those with limited access, trained drone pilots with many years’ construction experience and knowledge are very well placed to get the right footage and point out the areas for concern.
Collecting the right sort of data: filtered; tagged and listed in order of severity, together with delivering a comprehensive report straight to your desk is all part of the service. A service which collects accurate and detailed data and by using bespoke, reporting software, can record and highlight areas of concern, offers not only speedy and precise data capture but also the opportunity for sufficient collaboration and deliberation in deciding next steps.
Acting as your very own Clerk of Works in the sky, drone survey services allow much more flexibility than the more traditional means of surveying. Monitoring projects from start to finish is an excellent use of drone data collection. With minimal effort, drone technology has significantly changed the way in which the construction industry perceives and carries out workflows. Consequently, project managers have the capacity to make better and more informed decisions on any project management issues. More visibility and less expensive data capture means projects are much more likely to be delivered on time and on budget.
Consistent reporting and collection of data is yet another massive efficiency which drone survey services deliver. With more traditional services, personal opinion and interpretation, together with variables such as the weather all contribute to variances in reporting. However, with digital surveys reported via bespoke software, you can be assured of accurate, speedy and consistent reporting EVERY time.
