This document discusses the potential uses of drones in the construction industry. It provides an overview of the history of drones, from early military applications to current uses. Drones could be used for site surveying, security, safety functions like delivering first aid kits, asset tracking, and communications. Benefits include low-cost surveying without initial ground access. Current issues include developing regulations and flight times, but political lobbying and new technologies may help address these issues. The future prospects drones building structures themselves through robotics are also discussed.
