Construction Progress Monitoring with Drones

Periodic flights over your construction site to see how each phase is progressing, from the air and, with FPV, from the inside too.

Construction progress monitoring with drones

Drones on the construction site

Monitoring the progress of a construction project is already valuable, and adding movement and dynamism creates even greater visual impact. That is why construction progress is sometimes monitored with drones.

Combining more than one resource is, without doubt, one of the best ways to make the final video production exceed expectations. At Droneit, we make the most of every tool to show how a building changes over time, taking its particular features into account.

Benefits of using drones

The construction sector relies on drones to show how a project or idea becomes a tangible building. Construction progress monitoring with drones is an ideal way to capture the key details of each project, reaching difficult spots and capturing truly compelling perspectives.

Construction progress monitoring with drones captures shots that take in the entire project, whatever the size of the site, facility or building. We travel wherever your project is, including controlled airspace (CTR). Our drones are fully equipped for the job, as we are a video production company registered as a drone operator with AESA, Spain's State Aviation Safety Agency (Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea).

Drone applications in construction

  • At Droneit, we specialise in aerial construction videos filmed with drones. Thanks to their outstanding capabilities, we tailor drone progress monitoring to each project, paying special attention to the key details. Get shots from innovative angles that add value.

  • Using drones in construction processes multiplies the benefits, including: visualising construction progress, creating a 4D construction time-lapse with drones, carrying out georeferenced flights and offering an immersive experience in FPV (First Person View) mode.

  • Construction progress monitoring with drones is used not only to see how the work is advancing, but is also genuinely practical for monitoring each phase of the project. These phases require measurements to assess conditions, design solutions, and certify execution processes and final results, among other tasks.

FPV drones for construction

At Droneit we use FPV drones such as the DJI Avata and Cinewhoop systems fitted with high-resolution cameras like the GoPro Hero 11 Black, ideal for capturing finishes and walkthroughs inside and outside completed buildings.

Thanks to their agility and ability to fly in tight spaces, FPV (First Person View) drones can document every corner of the project from a dynamic, immersive perspective. This type of content is perfect for contractors, developers or architects who want to present their finished projects with a modern, visually striking and professional approach.

We show not only the construction progress but also the final result, with a unique visual narrative that connects with the audience and strengthens the project's presentation.

How we work

We travel wherever your project is and fly every phase to the same standard.

  1. Step 1: Flight plan

    We agree with you the flight frequency and the viewpoints for each phase.

  2. Step 2: Permits

    We prepare the operation and the flight permits, including in controlled airspace (CTR).

  3. Step 3: Periodic flights

    We fly the site with a drone and, where needed, with FPV inside.

  4. Step 4: Delivery

    Photos and videos from each visit, plus the final edit of the construction progress.

How do drones help in construction?

Drones are extremely useful in construction because they allow effective monitoring of building works from the air. Construction progress monitoring with drones provides detailed, up-to-date images of the site, making it easier to supervise progress, identify potential problems and make informed decisions.

In addition, using drones in construction speeds up data collection, optimising project planning and execution. In short, drones are an invaluable tool that improves efficiency and safety in the construction industry.

What is construction progress monitoring with drones?

Construction progress monitoring with drones is the practice of using drones to capture aerial images of a construction site's progress over time. This technique allows detailed, regular supervision of how the project evolves, providing key visual information for construction teams and project managers.

Construction progress monitoring with drones is an effective tool for tracking progress, identifying potential problems and optimising planning and logistics on construction projects.

How can drones be used to monitor the construction process?

Drones are an effective tool for monitoring construction projects, as they can provide detailed aerial views of the site at different stages of the project. With drone progress monitoring, you can obtain high-resolution photos and videos that let construction teams supervise progress, identify potential problems and make informed decisions quickly and accurately.

Drones can also be programmed to fly periodically over the construction site, providing continuous, up-to-date monitoring of the project's progress.

What can drones detect in construction?

Drones used for construction progress monitoring can detect a range of important aspects. From the air, they can identify construction progress and potential problems or delays, as well as help supervise safety on site.

Through aerial images, they can detect discrepancies with the construction plan, identify congested areas and provide an overview of the condition of the construction site.

Do construction companies use drones?

Yes, construction companies use drones for construction progress monitoring. A significant number of construction companies are estimated to have adopted drones in recent years for a variety of applications, including progress monitoring, safety inspections, site mapping and capturing images to document project progress.
